The Phone: MIB's first phone call to a classmate

So today MIB came home and said that she got her friend's phone number.

"Momma...you made me sad and I'm crying..."

This is what MIB told me last night before she went to bed.

A change IS gonna come

They done pissed me off y'all...

What would you do?

This is kinda long so please bear with me...

To be or not to be

Yesterday I had to stay home because my mother had a doctor's appointment and I didn't have a sitter.  While playing with MIB and her Buzz Lightyear computer, I realized that I wanted to be a stay at home mom (SAHM).

You're too young for that music

Well, fool, maybe you aren't old enough.

Planes, Promotions,Pittsburgh, Playing Possum, Procedures, and Planning for Peace

I'm back!

What would you do?

So SD got in contact with me the other day.  And was beyond...civil.  He asked about MIB in the first text I'd gotten from him since the "slandering tirade" he went on last month. 

No poopoo?

So I've been trying to potty train MIB for the last few months since she has been out of her cast.  And so fast she has been doing a really good job with the peeing part but the poopoo part has been a serious challenge.
Since the training started, she picked up on telling me when she has to go pee. "Mommy I have to go peepee!"  And we will go to the bathroom and she will do her business (sometimes while I'm doing mine) without a problem.  But she always forgets to tell me when she has an urge to go poopoo.

And believe me I have tried everything to get her to do so.  I have bribed her with money, toys, Dora, cartoons, and sweet treats.  But hear I am still buying pull ups instead of panties.  I've even tried to bribe her with pretty panties to convince her to go poopoo in the potty...but still no luck.  Not even the promise of school can get her to do what she needs to do and I am out of options.

So, #YCMs, what are your potty training suggestions?  How can I convince MIB to be a "big girl" and not a baby and go poopoo in the potty?

Sperm Donor...This Blog's for you!

So this morning I got a text from SD telling me and my mom to stop slandering his name.  Hmm..that's funny because I don't know anyone who knows you.  But, if I AM saying something to someone that knows you then maybe I'm telling the truth.

There is no such word as "can't"

People usually say "from the mouths of babes."  I am now a believer in the newly coined phrase "from the actions of babes."

Manners

I was at the grocery store the other day and I was getting something from the hot food section.  The woman behind the counter was asking me about something and I responded "no ma'am."

I got a funny look.

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:

Your Mother's Mother...

Mommy Monday

So last week I did Family Friday, this week it's Mommy Monday.

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.
