So apparently Shane is smarter than we thought


Hmmm, So I go to pick him up at daycare yesterday and he is bouncing away in his bouncy. This would be the same bouncy that he flipped over and fell out of. Gotta love daycare. Anyways, he was bouncing like I have never seen a kid bounce before. So much that it was making me sick. Veronice tells me that he bounces like that all the time when he's drinking his bottle. Umm, what? You don't hold him? You sit next to him and hold his bottle while he bounces like a circus freak? Apparently he holds his own bottle. He doesn't do that at home. Great, he has become my husband at a much earlier age than I had previously anticipated. Why do for yourself what you know Mommy will do for you anyways? This is the school of thought that my husband has been raised on :) So, I go to feed Shane his bottle last night and I just let go, and to my surprise, he holds it. And does just fine I might add, like he's been doing it for years. Now maybe if I stop cleaning the house.....

It doesn’t get easier, it gets different.

I’m a mom.      A happy mom, a sad mom, a confused and lost mom, a day late and a dollar short mom.   I feel all the feels, all the time. My kids were young when I called my middle sister crying.   This is my ‘make it all better’ sister.   Motherhood was kicking my ass, double time.   Her kids at the time were teenagers. As always, she listened to me fall apart, and when I was done she calmly said ‘listen pal, it doesn’t get easier, it gets different’.   What the hell?   Hello! I am calling for encouragement, not this shit.   If I wanted advice with no value I’d go ask one of my friends who doesn’t have kids, or the dog.   I don’t remember what happened next, but I’m pretty predictable.   I’m guessing I called my oldest sister, to talk about the weather and working into the convo, super casually, I would mention the advice I had just been given.   She in turn would have said ‘we’ve all been there Heidi Linds...

It's not hard.

Don’t be mean. The world is a scary place that is made up of millions of different personalities and beliefs.   Being a mom, I now realize just how difficult it is to grow up in this demented world.   I know I cannot fix the deficit, world hunger or global warming.   I can however take every fiber of my being to teach my kid not to be mean.   Will it work?   Hell if I know.   But it’s worth a try.   Take a look around, turn on the news, listen to the radio.   Every other headline is about a bullied kid.   A hate crime.   A mindless shooting.   This is the world our kids are growing up in.   We cannot deny this.    Kids are making You Tube videos crying about how much they are bullied and hated.   How they don’t fit in.   How no one loves them.   This is unacceptable and has to stop.   As a society, we have to change this.   Things will only get worse.   Kids are innocent. ...

We are never ever ever, getting our sh*t together.

That's right, a Taylor Swift reference.  I wouldn't be cool if I couldn't find some way to work pop culture into my blog.  Like Taylor Swift's ex, I am never ever ever, getting back together with my shit.  In fact, we were never actually together.  We went on a few dates.  Made plans.  Talked about our future together.  But alas, it never worked out.  If you have your shit together, don't waste time reading this.  It's not going to enhance your life one bit.  But, if you are like me, have at it ladies.  And man.  I heard once, thru the grapevine, that there was a man that read this blog so I will include him too. Take a stroll down memory lane with me.  All the way back to say.....this morning.  Can you remember that far back?  Take a minute and gather your mess of thoughts.  Your alarm went off and you hit snooze.  Like 5 times, am I right?  Now you are screwed for the rest o...
