What Do i do Now? HeySistah Publishing

I am pleasantly surprised daily by how much my 4 yr olds mind is growing, and how he is able to communicate his thoughts, feelings, emotions and also help me be in the moment sometimes when I lose my focus. My son speaks of himself in the 3rd person which is hilarious to me! Earlier he was busy playing with his Elmo vacuum and pretending to clean the floor, and when he was done he politely came to me and said "I need 4 dollars Mom". So I proceeded to count out 4 imaginary dollars in his hand. When I was done he looked at his hand, gave me a very frustrated look and stated " I need 4 GREEN dollars Mom from there!" and pointed at my wallet on my dresser!! I knew then this is the start of me being broke!! Each day he says something to me that to me seems far too wise for his years, and really catches me off guard and make me realize NEVER underestimate the intelligence of a child and what they understand. Well goodnight the two warriors are asleep so too must I!!

Kid's are funny!! My 4 year old is now asking me for what he prefers to eat as opposed to me fedding him what I feel like cooking ( what a bummer ) So today he came to me with my red flannel nightgown perched on his shoulder, with my Janet Jackson control pin from the 80's serving as the clasp in the front, and asked to to cook some snake! ( that is how he pronounces steak). These are the types of things they do that make me laugh, and bring a smile to my lips. Especially when I want to kill him for leaving that little toy car in the floor, that made me do a half gainer down the hall, when I got up in the midle of the night to pee. This is now my fun, no more 5 inch heels and skin tight outfits, the looser the better to hide these childbearing rolls, my favorite loungewear is their fathers 4X t-Shirts (He hates that I wear them) lmao I love my boys this is a new kind of happiness for me.

A new year is upon us, and so starts the new years resolutions to lose weight, leave that no good man or woman, and change your life!! I submit to you this time choose a small and doable goal first, don't start off with some lofty grand resolution that you won't complete and will use an an excuse to leave the status quo!! All you mothers out there that don't take time for yourselves, pick a friend you truly miss, and haven't connected with in forever, reach out and go to lunch, or dinner and a movie. Sit down with your child and ask them what's going on with them and look them in their eyes and truly LISTEN!! I always hated when adults belittled my problems as a teen because I wasn't working a job or paying bills!! I was a teenager that was my job and my drama!! Let me know how that goes for you, I'm very interested people!! Peace and Blessings!!
