nose with a bulb syringe which I guess set off a chain reaction and
made the her turn into a screaming banshee. Needless to say, she must of
thought mommy didn't love her cause even after I had everything set up,
Gabriella continued on her tirade. She screamed with such force, I
fear my hearing maybe permanently damaged. She was still screaming with
a bottle in her mouth...a little bit like this..AHHHHHHA...suck
suck...AHHHHHA...suck suck suck....Ahha..suck..ah..suck. Well you get
the picture, needless to say, my easy breezy but to bed baby...was not

One sick miserable baby + NOT Sticking to a bedtime schedule = TOTAL BABY HYSTERIA
One would of thought that I was skinning
Gabriella alive or abusing her in some other way but I wasn't. I was
getting the humidifier from Joannie's room to bring into the nursery, so
I put Gabriella in her crib for safe keeping. Before heading off on
said venture, I had suctioned my sweet baby turned demon child'

Feeling Nostalgic
As I made breakfast today, which was a wonderful French Toast and Maple
Sausage, our weather was cool and rainy. This made me remember my life
growing up in Orange County, California when all year around rain or
shine my adopted dad would make pancakes or hot breakfast for the family
out in the backyard on the gas grill. I also thought about swimming in the pool during the rain,
as long as it wasn't thundering or lightning in the area. These are two
of my fondest memories as a child, beside eating outside in our covered
porch. Maybe this is why, even with my two beautiful girls on Saturdays
when nothing is planned I enjoy making our family a hot breakfast,
having the doors and windows open, feeling the breeze of fall or spring,
and just being in the moment. Yes, it may take a little preparation and
planning to do, but quite seriously these are memory making moments that I live for and hope my girls continue on with.
We are also potty training our oldest, Joannie, and today has me thinking of traveling with multiple trips to the potty with my adopted family. "Jenn, do you have to go potty? Do you need to go number 1 or number 2?" As a creative 5-6 year old that I was I came up with an extra number that usually would combine both number 1 and 2, which would then equal number 3, this would mean that I had an upset tummy and had to go diarrhea. Well, the first time I used it, no one understood what I meant and I was asked "Jenn, what is number 3?" The very brilliant, intelligent me replied calmly, "It's when you pee and poop at the same time and it comes out of my tushy."
These are just a few of my favorite memories that have me going today, besides sugar and caffeine which every mother has hidden some where in her parenting repertoire. Wishing all my mommy friends a wonderful and a blessed day. Hug your kids because they just grow up way too darn fast!
