Feel Good Friday

Welcome to another installment of

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY

Brought to you by:



So, what made me feel good this week?!?  Oh, there were things here and there.  There were also rough patches, but we got through them.

  • We are in the terrible twos.  We are deep in the terrible twos.  Wherever we go, a temper tantrum normally follows.  We had one horrible one this week, which involved me being kicked, slapped, and her on the floor kicking and screaming. I finally got the little one back in her car seat and onward home we went.  I told her that her behavior was unacceptable and that is why we left the establishment.  I told her that she hurt mommy and hurt mommies feelings because of her actions.  She stopped screaming and looked at me and said "sorry Mommy."  I doubt she understands fully what that means, but it was just weird that she decided at that time to tell me she was sorry.

  • The other thing that made me feel good this week?!?  YOU ALL!! Peeps on my facebook page, on a few forums I belong to, etc.  You see this week (yesterday actually) was my birthday and I was feeling a big down.  But I got a TON of birthday wishes.  Even from people who I have never met.  It was awesome and made me feel good.

So, tell me?  What made you feel good this week?

Feel Good Friday

Welcome to my Feel Good Friday post.



My post this week has to do with family.  No, not my little girl or hubby, but about my brother.  I haven't seen him since Em was born.  He left the state shortly after for greener pastures (okay, where he went doesn't have greener pastures), but let's just say that he is thousands and thousands of miles away from here.

He came "home" for a visit this past week and we were all able to spend time together, to catch up, face to face.  It is not that I don't talk with my brother.  I do.  We text.  We facebook.  We email.  But it isn't the same.

Us three "kids" (myself and my two brothers) and our spouses went to dinner on Wednesday and it was nice to just sit there and chat and share some laughs.  It was a nice and relaxing atmosphere, and it was fun.

As for Em?!? Oh, she wanted nothing to do with him.  I took her over numerous times to see him and she hid behind me or just plain threw a temper tantrum.  When we weren't there she was always saying "see Uncle, see Uncle."  But when the time came to actually see him it was a whole different story.  But, he did get his "full" of kids as my nephew pretty much hounded him the whole time he was here.

So . . . . remember your family.  Spend time with them.  Yes, chatting on facebook or email is okay (especially when you are thousands of miles apart) but the face to face interaction is important as well. 

Have an awesome weekend my friends.

Older New Moms ~ Has this happened to you?!?

I don't necessarily mean "new" new Moms (as you might have a toddler now), but Moms that became Moms in their mid to late 30's or even 40's.  You take your little one out to run errands, head to the park, zoo, or where ever your adventures might take you, you are having a wonderful day, the little one is happy and then it happens.

What, you say?!?

Someone comes up to you and tells you how adorable your grandchild is.  You agree and thank them, but what else do you say?

1.  I will straight up tell them that I am the Mom, not the Grandma. This has happened to me at least twice now. One time a person actually thought that a friend that was holding her was her Mom and I was the Grandma (another words, my friends mother, and oh by the way, my friend is older then I am). Of course this leads to other topics, such as: don't you think you are to old to be having children? How do you keep up with her?

2.  You could ignore the comment and just smile and thank them.

3,  You could just walk away, saying nothing.

If you fit this criteria and this situation happened to you, what would you do?  I don't want to be rude, but after awhile this assumption by strangers can get on your last good nerve.  I try not to let it bother me anymore.  I know she is mine, and that is all that matters.

Then, I have had this happen as well.  As most know, if you have read my profile, I didn't meet my hubby until the beginning of 2007, yes, in my 30's.  Apparently I had been waiting for him all along, and didn't date or see anyone for years before.  It was just work, work, work, work.  So, even while I was pregnant for her, and after she was born I would get comments such as: "I never pictured you as a Mom." (this is a direct quote from someone I know).  How would that make you feel??

The fun questions and assumptions made by people when you become a Mom at an advanced maternal age.  Oh and I have never heard anyone ask my hubby those same questions.  So, it must just be a Mom thing.
