Wait..what?

Where has my time gone? Oh yeah, that's right.I now have two children. Yes you read that right. Since my last post, I went into labor last Sunday and came home yesterday from the hospital with a very sweet and loving big brother and a precious baby boy.
I got to brag about this because being five years old and having to be stuck in the hospital, with most of the attention focused on your younger sibling would be a nightmare situation for any mom.But my eldest child handled himself really well the entire time we were at the hospital. He got impatient right before we left but that was because he was antsy to get home.
I never thought that my heart could have anymore room for love but I guess it can.seeing my children together, seeing my eldest just pour out his love to his younger sibling just swells my heart up so much.*sigh* I just love them both so much

Tip the waitress/waiter?

I personally agree with leaving a too for the person that serves you at restaurants because you never know, you might just make their day even better. You do not know why they have the job in the first place. They could be struggling to make ends meet and being a waitress/waiter might be the only job they can get. They might be working their way through college and need the extra money.
So don't cuss at your person waiting on you,just leave then a tip or some kind of nice note.it might lift their spirits...

Narcissistic personality disorder

Yes there is a such thing.I think that people should be aware of it.and if you do have it and haven't gotten help then go get it.I am a victim of narcissistic parenting and I'm trying to keep my kids from being around it.if you are unsure of what the red flags are,here's a list:
1. Puts on a conspicuous display of kindness
2. Damages the image of most others
3. Has a history of past upheavals
4. Is hated for mysterious reasons by those closest to them
5. Exhibits perplexing behavior-reacts backwards to things
6. Is a control freak,will overstep boundaries
7. Is extremely self absorbed
8. Has a hostile reaction when credit is given to others.

And those are just some of the things to look out for. Its even more damaging to the children. Someone with this disorder will control everything the child has or can do.if the child leaves the home then they can be disowned. Share this blog and raise awareness,please

Being an introvert and a mother

Want to know something that is hard?
Try having an introvert personality while being a mother. Introverts tend to be very quiet people.they don't like being part of a crowd and they hate having any attention put on them.they tend to seek out solitary habits,hobbies and lifestyles.

Unless of course you happen to have children.then suddenly you get unwanted attention put on you at all times, you never have any alone time.you never get to do anything by yourself.(even trips to the bathroom are no longer a solitary habit) and you now have to face people whether you are prepared for it or not, like doctors, teachers, other children's parents, complete strangers wanting to tell you how adorable your kids are.
Lets just say that it becomes an introvert's nightmare.especially when you have a husband who had an extrovert personality (think total opposite of an introvert) and another child on his way into this world (currently 34 weeks👣)

But blogging or journaling your thoughts out actually helps. It lets you speak your mind without having to face or interact with others.

Stereotyping

Have you ever noticed that there is so much pressure put on mothers 's father's when it comes to raising children?
Dads seem to be let to get by with everything and when they mess up or forget then everyone just shrugs and says "at least he's trying" even single dads get off that easily but yet if a woman is a single mother or a mother that is picking up dad's slack then everyone looks at her as if everything she does could be better even though she is trying her best. Single mothers get blamed even if it's not their fault the father left. Stay at home mom's seem to get this stereotype in the worst extremes though.
Yes,we do stay at home with the children but you know what? Just because we became mothers does not mean we lose who we are as a person.we have things we like to do that do not involve children. We like tv shows that aren't cartoons, we like reading books that aren't geared towards children. We,stay at home moms, are people too.this while stereotyping needs to stop.if your not going to stop then at least be a little harder on the men.
I mean really....

Being a mom with epilepsy

Most people do not understand what it is like to have a chronic medical decision and still have to raise children. Its harder because on days that you feel at your absolute worst, you still have children to get dressed,fed,and up for the tasks of the day. There is no chance to stay in bed to recover from an absence seizure or even a full seizure.
Your children act more overprotective of you then most children do.they help remind you to take your medication.if they are at the grandparents and try to call but you somehow miss their call,they suddenly want to come home to check on you....(true story....my five year old did this when I failed to call him back once)

Being a mom in general is stressful enough to start with but add in medical illness and you have an even bigger mess. Especially when you add in the side effects of the medication that you take. Like forgetfulness,tiredness,moodiness.....all that and then some.

But keep your head high if you are one of those moms and reading this because you are not alone. 💋🌺🌸
