So, last Friday my 9 week old Princess Baby came down with a cold. I swear to bejesus that she picked it up at Walmart. I can tell you the exact moment in Tuesday we walked by a man chewing on a cough drop. I remember saying to my husband, "hold your breath, that dude is sick!" As I threw the blanket over the baby's head and hurried away. Friday comes and she is so congested! I called her doc and since she bad no fever or green snot and she was eating like a horse they said not to bring her in.  The next thing I know, it is Sunday and her Daddy says "uhoh I'm getting her cold!" I told him he is full of shit, you can't catch a cold from a baby!!!! Ummmmm....I was wrong. Yes I said it. I will even repeat it. I was wrong.  The little shit has infected my whole house, except for me.  Both of her sibs are now sniffling their heads off, loading themselves up with cold meds with dear old dad. Everyone being sick means that I had zero help with the baby m

I was just thinking how things have changed since the last time I was a new Mom.  16 years ago it didn't matter if I breast fed, circumcised my baby boy, let the baby sleep in my bed, had a c section or let him cry. This time around, all I hear and see is "know better, do better".  And I feel like if I hear it one more time I may blow.  I get the concept, really I do, and in some ways, I agree with it. I have my own way of doing things and it works for me.  Moms are so busy bashing each other for their choices.  Shouldn't we be supporting each other?  Being a Mommy is HARD.  It is the hardest job there is.  You are solely responsible (or feel like you are) for teaching a tiny little person how to BE.  That is a lot of pressure! I had a C section because it was safer for me.  Now people actually apologize or pity me for having one.  I didn't push the baby out of my hooha so I am somehow less of a woman and mother.  My baby and I are both alive and healthy

     Holy shit y'all....I did that thing that I do.  I did it a lot!  What thing?  I let life get in the way of something that I love doing.  It has been 3 years, THREE since I have posted on this blog.      When I started it, I was so happy, so excited to be writing.  I love writing!  The problem?  I have the attention span of a newly hatched GNAT!      So much has happened in 3 years.  We decided that we were unhappy in California and came home to Kentucky.  The trip home was worth at least 10 blog posts!  What an experience, driving across country with 2 teenagers and a cat, pulling our life behind us in a jam packed trailer.  Kind of like a small band of gypsies.      We started a business.  Sod.  Not much of a story there, who wants to hear about work??       The big news...we had a baby this year!  Completely and totally by accident, like two kids that do not know how this happens.  I had a 40th birthday surprise, in the shape of a 7 pound, 3 ounce baby girl.       My
