So Confusing

So, (I have realized that i particularly like starting most of my sentences out with this word.....strange) after reading i think every tutorial on this blogger website i still have no idea what i am actually doing. I do know these 2 things:
   1. I can write sentences and then hit the "publish post" button and wa-la, my thoughts magically appear for all to see and
 2. If all else fails, just call someone, which is pretty much what i am thinking is going to be the game plan for "blogging"
Like i said in my previous post, i have A LOT to learn. Hold that thought though.....crying baby awake from too short of a nap.

Okay, back for business some 80 hours later it feels like. Geez, what is it with babies not wanting to take naps? I mean honestly folks, if someone was like please, please let me rock you and say sweet things to you and then give you something to "comfort" you (in Brayden's case a pacie), wouldn't you be begging to go to sleep numerous times a day? I mean, i would, no need to try to butter me up for that one. But alas, dear sweet Brayden doesn't find the thought of nap time entertaining nor comforting and precedes to wake-up all too early from his much needed and i honestly mean much needed nap.  You see, unfortunately for B (that's what i call him) he has gotten quite the bad gene from good ole ma and pops, which is known as that lovely piece of DNA we like to call stubbornness.  Poor little B not only got a very microscopic dose from his mother, he has also gotten a very hefty double dose from his father. Now, i realize that this shocks all of you in the fact that you all thought that i didn't have a "stubborn" gene in my body, and i must say i agree with you about 99.99%, but that last 0.01% gets ya every time. (Ha ha) So, B and i fight daily on the topic of naps. He has yet to figure out that i am going to win almost every battle fought because i'm the mom and we basically rule the world he lives in. He will quickly learn when mama ain't happy, not only is nobody in the house happy, but anything and everything that revolves in his little world is not happy either. (P.S.- Thank heavens for spell check on this thing, cause without it, you wouldn't understand half of what i am trying to say) I pretty sure he is going to have a fabulous time learning this whole life lesson. Didn't we all?

Another thing i have learned from being a parent (the whole 5 months worth of it), is never say "oh, i won't do that" cause you 1. are seriously lying to yourself and 2. are going to eat your words at some point in time during your lifetime as a parent. For instance, when i was little my mom would always lick her thumb and wipe  the sides of my mouth clean that i missed with a napkin. I don't think i can put into words how much it drove me crazy and totally grossed me out, not to mention is totally embarrassing. And, i swore  up and down that i would never in a million years do that to my child. Well guess what folks...below and behold, i catch myself doing it to B all the time, and he's not even eating real people food yet. I can only imagine how awful it will be for him when he does. Poor kid....start praying for him now everyone cause i'm pretty sure it's going to drive him into some short of a breakdown later on in life. Oh, well it is what it is. I guess those awful things that you hated as a kid that you swore you would never do to your kids really does come full circle. And now, it makes sense why your parents did that too you......i always thought it was just because they liked to sit back and watch me squirm with embarrassment or just felt like tormenting me. Never once did it cross my small pea-brain of a self that it was actually for my benefit. Who knew? Lesson learned i suppose.

Well enough random thoughts and chatter for today. I find myself going off on random topics so prepare yourselves for these. You'll get a glimpse into my "bubble world" of a life. Hope you enjoy it.

Adios!
