Get your mind out of the gutter!
Well, Dh and I decided to wait out the housing slump before purchasing our first home. We are thinking of waiting six months to a year so that we can straighten out some things on his credit report and give me time to retake the RE exam and get licensed. Waiting is not my forte.LOL. I am so impatient when it comes to these types of things and i keep seeing homes in our desired area with price tags that are a steal for those specific areas. I keep thinking that i'll be so pissed if the housing market comes out of it's slump before we purchase........I know that this slump sucks for sellers and i wish the best for everyone but i'm rooting for it to stay like this until i can get a home. Ok. that may have sound a bit mean but you know what i mean!

You never know that feeling until it happens upon you. I remember hearing my aunt talking about how her friend's conversations always turned into something about her children and how irritating it had become. I remember saying "i bet, that is irritating"......... and now i have become that woman! I constantly catch myself comparing someone else's story to something that my children have done, ranging from something funny to something crazy. Dare I say it? My world completely revolves around my children! Yes, My husband and i make time for each other always but, our kids are still our world. It has occured to me that being a proud parent today is something to be ashamed of or people think that you should only be proud and happy of your children in the "comfort of your own home".......were these people once children? didn't someone praise them? I remember being a child and being showered with love and praise.Although my children mean the world to me, I have not forgotten who i am but because i am a mother it has become the most important job that i have. If i don't praise and show my kids how much i appreciate them, who else will? So here i confess, My name is ____and I am a proud parent!!!!!

So, this semester has ended and for some reason last week I had senioritis like a mug and i'm not even graduating. I am strapped with chores and studying for finals and since last week i've been so frustrated by it so, today i said "what the heck" and me and the kids went out and played in the water. The morning started of as usual: we got up, ate breakfast, i cleaned, we went walking, and when we were coming in i decided to turn on the hose and play like i was 5 years old. We stayed out for like an hour and when i got back in i actually felt more rejuvenated and my kids were extremely happy to play in the water b/c usually after our walk we come in and nap or stay out and kick the soccer ball for a bit but b/c it's so hot i actually think that we'll be playing in the water more often now. I actually felt great today because instead of focusing on what needs to get done and what isn't done yet, i just enjoyed having fun in the sun with my beautiful children.

Sometimes my days are completely hectic. the house is a mess the kids have messed up there clothe w/ lunch and the toys that i've just moved back to the kid's room are suddenly all over the living room floor again! I'm a self proclaimed "neat freak" so this used to really stress me out but after having my third child i'm slowly learning to sit down every now and then and enjoy the mess because it's part of watching them grow up. When i was pregnant w/ my second child and after having her i became a wife, mother, student, and p/t leasing consultant and trying to add more to the load because i wanted to get my real estate license. Her first birthday came so quickly i'm ashamed to admit that i barely remember her as a baby. We get so caught up in our lives and trying to plan them out precisely that we forget to "stop and smell the roses" I felt so bad after she turned one because i was so busy during the time prior to her birthday i was always telling my husband "if i finish school now i'll be out of law school by the time our son was in first grade" but time flew and i missed it. With my third child i said that i wouldn't do it so i took a break from work and school and i have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of being home and not worrying about homework or tenants or anything other than my family.I am growing personally and spiritually and the older that i get the more that i see that all aspects of your life have to be equal (personal,physical,spiritual) because if we give more to our personal we end up losing our physical/spiritual (ex. if you are so focused on work, school, money, etc. to the point that you are constantly stressed, it takes a toll on your health which could affect if you pray/go to church or not). As time goes on i'm finally learning how to prioritize my life and still accomplish what i want to accomplish minus the stress.lol.
