Blah Blah
This Mommy is having a blah day! That ever happen to you? Nothing is really wrong, just a cold the wont go away, a Little boy who also has a cold, (neither of us are sleeping well) and pregnancy hormones making me crazy a bit irritable! Today, My Little boy stayed home from school due to a slight fever and his lack of sleep. We also have a houseful of children. Did I ever mention that I have a home daycare a few days a week? I Love the kiddies, but wouldn't mind staying in my pjs all day and snuggling on the couch with MY Little Boy! To top it all off we are getting more snow tonight, and I'm sick of it! Plus, it's Wednesday...nothing good on tv tonight. I think I need to chalk this day as a loss and hope to wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow! I'm off to eat large quantities of chocolate play with the children!

I Love About My Family!
The Mommy Hood family had another really great weekend! We didn't do anything exciting, just spent a lot of time together:) my only complaint is that My Little Boy and myself are sick, just colds, nothing too serious. I have been in such a great mood lately we all know this won't last. I figured now is a good time to show some appreciation to the men in my life. Tonight, I'm going to cook their favorites. Chicken and rice for Mr. Fun, steak and carrots for My Little boy. Yup Two different meals.
I am incredibly lucky to have the most amazing man, and Little boy. They truly make me very happy and I don't know what I would do without them?
I am showered with hug and kisses from both of my boys! Mr. Fun tells me I'm still skinny and pretty,even though I have a puffy face and a huge belly. He is great about letting me rest when I need it, he is very helpful! To top it all off My Little boy gave my belly a big hug last night and said."I love you baby" He is the sweetest thing, and I could not ask for more! Let's just say, these days I'm a woman in love!

My Little Boy's first broken heart
Today is a sad day in the Mommy Hood house. Our very good friends, friends who are family to us have moved. To be clear, they have not moved across the country or even out of the state, they are just a few towns over. I am very happy for them because, this is truly the best thing for their family. I have explained over and over that we will still see plenty of the Trouts. This however, is not enough for my Little Boy. He wants to still be able to walk to his house. He is really going to miss Little Trout. This past weekend has been hard, he knows that when I drop him off to school, Little Trout will not be there. he has cried many time over this.. I am close to tears myself because I hate to see My Little man sad, and also, I'm going to really miss Mama Trout as well! Wish us luck at drop off.

Happy Days!
Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! We sure did! I had the best day yesterday with My Little Boy, we went to Dave and Busters, hit up the mall, grabbed some ice cream, and really had a blast. He was wonderful all day! I really love spending time the little angel, he is the best boy in the world.(I say that a lot huh?) I do not have one complaint today,and that doesn't happen every day, now does it? Mr. Fun has the day off, so it's a play day:)

Can't relate?
We had a snow day yesterday! It was great!!!! MR. Fun was home, and we spent the day playing outside, and relaxing inside. My Little Boy and I made hot chocolate and cupcakes. It really was a great day! We were all hoping to get another day off today. Sadly, that didn't happen. So, it's off to school and work we go. When I went on FB this morning I saw so many posts from people annoyed about being stuck home with their children????? I don't understand how some people see their children as a nuisance? I love spending time with mine, and would not trade it for the word. If you don't enjoy children in general, why did you have them?

Tuesday, Tuesday
I woke up early today, really hoping to get some house work accomplished. The Little Bambino However, had other ideas! Instead of doing anything productive, I spent the morning standing in the bathroom, desperately trying not to be sick. Who said morning sickness only lasts the first trimester? Let me tell you, I'm well into the second...It's still here!!!!!!
I need to go wake My Little Boy up for school. Pre-School drop off has not gone well in the last few weeks. My Little boy has been clingy lately. There is a lot of change going on in his life, and let's just say he is NOT embracing it. His best buddy is moving:( And even though he says he is excited, I think the Little Bambino in my expanding belly has thrown him for a loop. So, I am hoping to spend some QT with him this morning, fingers crossed, that will help?
Have a wonderful day! xo

Let's get started
So.... I have been wanted to start a blog for awhile now, but never really knew where to begin? I'm going to start at the beginning, the beginning of the Mommy Hood.
It all started about 4 1/2 years ago on a beautiful sunny day. April 10, 2006 to be exact. My Little Boy was born that day. From the moment I laid eyes on him I was in love. He came out all purple and blue(the cord had been tightly wound around his little neck) but to me, he was the most beautiful baby to ever exist. A few moments later he did pink up and then, he was the most beautiful baby that ANYONE had ever seen. I know, I know, all mothers think that their baby is the most beautiful but trust me, mine was!
I had a ton, and I do mean a ton of experience with babies and children. I had been a partial live in nanny for over 5 years. So I would have no problems when it came to my own baby right? Wrong! This was different! This baby was MINE, well, mine and Mr Fun's. This was scary and new, I was in a constant state of panic. Was he OK? Was I a good enough mother? What if he got sick? What if I got sick? Who would care for him? So yes, even though this should have been a piece of cake it was hard and I was scared. But this phase didn't last forever. Soon I realized that I was pretty good at the whole Mommy thing. The only problem with this was that I felt I was the only one capable of talking care of my Little Boy. Sorry Mr Fun, but back off, this is Mothers work. SO, I did it all myself, the nighttime feedings(I was breastfeeding so what could anyone else do anyway?) the diaper changes, the clothing changes, all the rocking, and the holding! When it came to my Little Boy I was a bit of a control freak! I was exhausted! All you new Mommies out there, take help, and let the dads in on the action! I have gotten slightly better over the years! OK, OK, I'm not much better, but that Little Boy is still my baby!
Now, My sweet Little Boy is almost 5!!!!!!!! I can't believe it?! Where did the time go? I must say that Mr. Fun and I have done a great job! My Little Boy is sweet and compassionate and very, very funny (I think he gets that from me )!!!
Almost 5 is a hard, but wonderful age for Mommies, well this Mommy anyway! I kinda take the back seat to, who else, Mr Fun!!!! Don't get me wrong My Little Boy loves me! when he is not feeling well, or is hurt it's Mommy that he wants. I think it makes it so difficult for me, because for the first 3 years of his life it was Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Only I could put him to sleep, only I could read him books, only I could kiss his ouchies! But now, it's Mr fun! Mr. Fun walks in the door and My Little boy squeals with delight, It's Daddy Time! I can't really blame him, Mr . Fun is pretty great! He is always up for playing, even after he has worked all day! He has the patience I only wish I had. He is sweet, and loving to his Little Boy, and when I'm not jealous of the bond he and our Little Boy share, I'm falling more in love with him! I will admit there are times when I wish I could be Miss Fun and he could be, as I am sometimes called, a Meanie. I am sometime portrayed as the bad guy. I'm the one who is always telling My Little Boy, to brush his teeth, eat his food, stop jumping off the couch, go to bed, Turn off the TV, No More DS, Take your vitamins etc etc... But you Know what? It is what it is! I Love Mr. Fun and Our Little Boy, and I can't wait to add to our growing family with the the Little Bambino growing inside me!
The Mommy Hood isn't always easy but I'm so glad to be a part of it!
