Well as of 9:58am this morning. On my drive home from the Chiropractor, the baby fell asleep in th car. Far be it for me to wake her from her nap.
Ive worked out tradegies to situations such as this one.
1. get power inverter for power outlet in car.
2. obtain magazines, book, or laptop.
3. notebook, for "to do list" rough draft.
4. thank the Lord and my aunt an uncle for wireless modem.
5. obtain fattening snacks and diet soda for minimum one hr self entertainment.
6. sit back and watch as neighbors peek heads from curtains wondering what THIS crazy person is doing in driveway and NOT inside her house!
Its now, 12:00pm and shes still asleep but i think my car battery is dead. Jammin' out to music in driveway. Hah! (yea, thats right. I said "Jammin").
Welcome to MISHAPS of a SAHM
I LOVE BEING A MOM
Above Picture: We missed an opportunity to take pic with easter bunny this year. So, this is MY take on a Mall portrait with our easter bunny! Dontcha jus luv how pleasant ry is while reagan screams, "I DONT WANNA DO THIS!"
DC and I enjoy comic relief within our marriage. One of the quirks we practice daily is Parent of the Yr nominations. If one or the other acts on anything with the kids in an inappropriate manner in any capacity, we verbally award the recipient! Thus my new section headed as, "Parent of the Year goes to...."
- enjoy and watch us crash and burn at this thing called parenthood.

SAHM Reclaims Individuality or selfishness?
When was the last time you felt pretty. Or Gorgeous at that?!
I'll tell you, its been over 10 years. It's 2010 and I can honestly say the las time I felt pretty for more than a day was in 1996. I weighed 125 lbs and in my first year of Junior College. I felt beautiful, briefly, when pregnant with Rhyan and Reagan. Really, I did. I loved being pregnant. I had an aunt of mine tell me this years, YYeeeaaarrrss ago! When I heard it then I thought she had to be living in a bubble. lol. But honestly I have to agree. I loved it, after the fact. Getting pregnant again is something we really would like but the last trauma I experienced makes me terrified what could happen next. So much that could go wrong with be pregnant.
I know, similar risks come from getting in the car day after day. Guess it doesnt mess u up in the head until it happens to you personally.
Back to my question...When was the last time you felt pretty good about your appearance or about your latest checkup from your doc? I guess what im asking is, are you happy with where your life is right now. Have you made all the right decisions for your life up to this point? You dont need to be thin to look beautiful. You can be 110 lbs, 5'10" and still look ugly because of your nasty behaviour. (who does she think she is, British?)
Im gonna try to be more pleasant with my interactions with my fellow human beings. I have been taking this high road for a while now. But i need to apply this principle to my extended aquaintances and family. On the same note, Im not gonna break my back tryin to keep in touch with peeps from years past. Reference to all those crazies that have 300+ "friends" on facebook. lol.
All my connections to people are close, intimate ones. I dont care to be in touch with people from high school that i havent had a conversation with in 20 yrs etc, etc.
I digress, back to my new outlook on mankind. hah! Also, I would like to make a proposal or challenge of sorts...To make you the best YOU, you can be. I read a quote somewhere from Judy Garland. It goes something like this:
Be the best You rather than a second rate someone else.
I didnt put quotation marks on it because its not the exact wordage. but you get it.
I have always looked at other people and wanted to copy or imitate them for their better qualities. But I have to find who RHonda really is. After, 33 yrs, Im finally asking similar questions. Shouldve had this revelation back in my early 20's right? lol. Im always late, at everything. Especially with a punch line.
Im always the blonde thats last to laugh.
"Ooooh! *laughing* I get it!"
I think God made a mistake with me. When he sent me down he forgot to send me with blonde roots.
Also I have to lose weight, because for me....its life or death. Being clinically catergorized as Type 2 Diabetic, 5'1" and 180+ pounds I could have a stroke, heart attack, or lose my vision sooner than later. I have more people to take care of and its my responsibility to be around for a long time to come. My ma seems to be worried bout my prospects of obtainging employment and my health. Although there is nothing seriously wrong she thinks im headed down a very destructive path of health problems to come. Maybe she speaks from experience and rather than fight her with "you dont know everything" I should listen.
Also this all comes after viewing my cousins beautiful wedding pictures from this past Sept. n Las Vegas. I saw all those people so happy and lively in the photos. My first thought was how wonderful to see a young couple marry and begin their adult lives together and how a family will soon follow. It brought a tear to my eye. Im so in love with love. yep, Im pathetic. My second thought...when was the last time I said yes to a photograph. When did I last feel comfortable in my own skin? In my clothes? IN JEANS?
I challenge you all that read this blog.
For 365 days, of making yourself a better person for YOU and then for your familia!
