DC Trip

So the girls and I headed to D.C. to see their daddy. He will be in D.C. for a few months. God, I hope we don't have to move there. It's nice to visit, but I do not want to live there. The drive their was awesome. I am so blessed that my girls travel well. Not a peep! Emi slept and Mika watched movies. Our first stop was PA. Absolutely beautiful. We stayed at the Marriott. I strolled in with the girls, stroller, pack and play, back pack, and babies...everything but the kitchen sink. The guy looked at me and immediately bumped me up with a suite and pointed me to the bar lol. The second day was great until we hit traffic and construction. Sucked ass! The first day we hit the Smithsonian natural science. The dinosaur museum rocked! We only had one major melt down. Miss M decided that she didn't want to use the potty. She was throwing absolute fit. She claimed that she needed to go but didn't. Then she wouldn't leave and started freaking out. So, I yelled which didn't help the situation. I told her she does not get to play with her babies. Then, shit hit the fan. She had a nose bleed! I am pretty sure everyone thought I beat my child. One lady helped us out. She calmed Mika down and cleaned her up. After we were done, I took away her babies. She flipped out again. Hubby talked to her and gave her babies back...after I told her no. He undermined me! F'n Dick! Once she had her babies back she started chanting "I've got my babies babies babies, I've got my babies"...F@&$! Pissed me off! Him and I got into it. He left, but came back. I asked him to apologize to me and he did. Our second day was much better. We went to the Smithsonian History Museum. It was awesome! Overall, we had a good time.

A simple Thank You would have been nice!

Ya know, I do something nice for someone and what do I get? A rude comment on FB. Really? Are you F'n kidding me? I took pictures of two awesome kids almost two years ago. I was just getting into photography and I needed a subject. I was excited to do this. Their family was excited to see them. I posted the picts. when I was done and they liked them. They were tagged, etc. Then recently, I deleted the original to re photoshop the pictures. I didn't like what I did then and decided to give it one more try. They turned out beautifully. I was super excited to share them. So, I re tagged them and posted them. Their mother didn't even thank me for the wonderful job that I did. Instead she left a rude comment on her FB wall. The kids father loved them and told me to post away. What a BITCH!

Guilt and Frustration

I feel guilty, frustrated, and relieved. Why? My hubby is out of town for three months and I have an awesome babysitter. Yes, I can take care of my beautiful girls, but I need a break. My stress level goes way down with help. My sassy girl and I butt heads a lot. She is going through this phase of not listening. Maybe it's because she is 4 years old. Maybe it's because she is bored. She does better when she has gone to preschool. On the days she doesn't have school, she acts out more. I try to give her as much attention as I can, but I have an outgoing 13 month old. Our house is taken over by toys and laundry is never finished. Although, my friends think our house is clean...Super Clean :)! I find it funny. I look around and question. It's not asian clean, but it's under control. I am not a Super Mom, nor do I plan to be. It's exhausting to think about it. Damn you PINTEREST and all your kids craftiness. I can't even do half of what is on my list. Again, I have a babysitter to help me be a better mom to my kids. I am still around in the house, but she is there to give my sassy girl more attention. Once hubby is back (not flying back and fourth), life will resume. Until then, this mama needs an extra hand.

Emi's 1st Birthday!

My precious pumpkin turned one Feb. 17. Seriously, where did the time go? Has it really been a year? She is walking now! She actually started with a few steps two weeks prior to her bday. Then, a week after her bday, she took off. Her world has to be amazing at eye level. She is always smiling, laughing, and kissing her mommy and daddy. She is pure joy! Love Love Love her!!!

Mama Sad :(

Mama sad :(...I just got a reminder from my phone that Emi is 11 months old today. That means next month she will be 1 years old. I should be happy, but I am sad. She is our last. Hubby made it clear that he does not want any more kids. She is growing up so fast. She a very busy lil girl. Emi is fun to watch. Everything is fascinating to her as it should. Walking is around the corner. She is already standing and taking steps with her walker. NOOOOOOOOOO! Where did the time go? I bitch and moan b/c I am not getting any sleep. I should be enjoying every minute of her existence. I am this time around as a mother. I am still bf and love it. I wasn't able to with my first. So, this time I am able to. It feels really good knowing that I am providing nutrients. Plus, it's very relaxing. She will not be on top of my boob forever, but for now I will take advantage of the bond I have with her!

Skin Deep

Ok Ladies or the 5 people that read my blog...Wanna know the secret to great skin? Fruit, fruit, and more fruit. My beautiful baby girl still doesn't sleep well at night. No sleep=crappy skin!!! I looked horrible. I may look good after having a baby, but I didn't see it. I saw dark circles and red/blotchy skin. So, I decided to buy a blender with multi functions. I bought it because it had a puree function for baby food. Anyway, I didn't use it...too f'n tired. So, I decided to use it to make fruit smoothies. Amazing!!! The first three days, I saw huge improvements in my skin. Hubby did too. He thought my skin was glowing! He suffers from adult acne and his skin made a complete turn around. Awesome, awesome, awesome! The best fruit for my skin are strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries. You also loose weight too :)...I have slacked off lately due to the cold weather. But if I have to go somewhere at night and my skin looks like sh$%...All I have to do is drink a smoothie in the morning...The redness goes away and I don't have to apply a ton of make-up...Anyway, just thought I would throw this out there.

My growing Pumpkin, Emi Nicole!
