What's new?

           Roll Call! So, it's been a while since I last posted. I know I said I would try to post on a weekly basis, and in my defense, I did say I would try. But, so much has happened. I don't even know where to begin... 
      
            First and foremost, my niece is here! Baby Alayah is the most precious thing in the entire universe. I knew there was a reason that God did not plan for me to have any girls of my own, not to mention the blessing to the world for not getting another me in it! I was meant to have boys so that I could be there for my 3 beautiful nieces. I'd post a photo, but I forgot to ask mom's permission... so you'll just have to check her out on my Instagram feed!

           Ooo! The hubs and I have been attending these super fun group dance classes at Omaha Ballroom! The owners are this super sweet couple who have creating this awesome environment for couples, whether experienced dancers or newbies, to come and dance and have a great time! I had to learn to let the man lead me instead of trying to be in control... that was weird!

           Next, my oldest little man has been having a rough go at school. It's the most trying thing I've had to deal with, and that includes trying to potty train! How do you prove that he is just sticking up for himself or if he really is the instigator? I am learning that this "Parenting" thing is more like a tight rope act in the circus. I have to balance the fine line of teaching my son that it's not okay to hit, and yet at the same time that he is no one's door mat and he should always stand up for himself and what he believes? It broke me that my intelligent mini-me was getting a poor report from school when I know he has the potential to be brilliant. But I know where the problem is. He is a mini-me. For those of you who do know me personally, you know that I will not stand for any crap being flung my way. I do not bat an eye when it comes to defending my family and most importantly, my children. I realized I have to take a look at the example I am setting for my boys. Honestly, I didn't think that my example meant as much for them because I am not either of their Dad's. I figured, hey I'm just "Mean Ole Mom" and that was all. It threw me back, which takes a lot of force, and made me rethink my strategy. 

           Woah, that was a lot, but hey... What'd you expect? I don't post for a while and then I dump and then repeat lol. I really will try to be better, I promise!

Hang in there
