A mother's unconditional love

I seriously thought that my love for her was unconditional until I looked at her in her hospital room bed the other day.

The wait Part II

So today is MIB's second surgery and I certainly hope that her luck is better than mine this morning.

My baby is going to school...

...next year.

I love my hair!

This is to all of the YCMs who want to raise napptural, beautiful, confident girls.  This is to the YCMs who want little girls with healthy, high self esteem.  This is to the YCMs that want their littleg irls to be able to make through middle school and high school with a positive self image.  This is for the YCMs and MIBs that love their hair:

Family Friday

OK...so I decided to start this new weekly post called "Family Friday."

7:00 pm

That was the last time MIB urinated until right before we left the emergency room at about 4 pm.

So it begins...

Now that MIB is out of the hospital, the real work has begun.  And I almost wish I was back at work.  Hell, I'd be doing a lot less.

...And the wait is over

"Bravery Award"

And the wait begins...

I am currently sitting in the third best children's hospital in the country.

Well...that time sure did fly...

Hey all...

It's been another extended break between blogs but I have been busy beyond belief in the last month and a half or so.

Happy Cake!!

Last month was MIB's 2nd birthday and let me tell you I am glad there are 365 days that separate birthdays...real.talk.*

Changes...

I've been MIA...I know this and I apologize (to the few who actually follow me lol). 

Life interrupted...

Children's Medicine Recalled

Last week there was a recall on children's and infant's cold and allergy medicine (including Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and Zyrtec) and all reports were advising parent's to immediately throw away any unused portions of the medicine. 

This really needs to stop happening...

OK...I have been on hiatus for a HOT MINUTE...and I apologize.

We have been sick in the YCM household and I mean SICK. Anyone who caught whatever that nasty bug that was floating around back in late February/early March knows exactly what I am talking about.

Baby Momma of the Year...For real?

This is why I write this blog...because of BS like this.

I was listening to the radio this afternoon at work while eating my lunch when I heard this come across the airwaves.

I damn near choked.

Haiti

It's taken me a while to post about Haiti and I want to get the word out on all of my blogs (this was the first one I thought about posting to. I will be doing a more in depth post about Haiti's earthquake on my other blog VerbalDiaspora).

We should all donate to Haiti during their extreme time of need. Right now, people are still being found in Haitian buildings, under cars, and other places I would have never thought of finding someone buried alive (or just buried). There are also many in Haiti that are in desperate need of clothes, food, water, diapers, baby food, and other necessities to survive. Please visit one of the following sites to donate any amount to help the cause to find more survivors and to keep more survivors alive:
Yele
Red Cross

Or you can text in your donations. The amount of your donation will be charged to your cell phone bill.

Yele: Text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 dollars
American Red Cross: Text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 dollars

Don't forget that you can always gather clothes, non-perishable food items/water, and monetary donations locally to drop off to your local Red Cross and other businesses and organizations that are sending aid to the people of Haiti.

Yeah Yeah, I know...

Hey y'all...

OK I know that I said a few weeks ago that I was going to have some more posts for you but the holidays, layoffs, and a sick mom AND aunt pretty much got into the way. I just finished one post for you and it will be after this and HOPEFULLY you won't have to wait on future posts. Now that the holiday season is out of the way and 2010 is in full force, I should be able to dedicate more time to my writing.

Happy new year y'all!
