Kisses...

It seemed only natural to post something about kissing this close to Valentines Day, but I am not talking about the normal types of kissing. So here it goes.

There are many types of kisses, each one ranging at different levels and different intensity... but the most valued, most pure, most coveted of all kisses are the ones given by mommies to owies. Yes, the Boo-boo Kiss is in fact the most powerful kiss one can receive. Children know this, because it is only natural to run to their mommy in a time of horrid tragedy and cry out, "MOMMY! AN OWIE! KISS IT!"

Now, you already know that a Boo-boo kiss cures owies, bumps, bruises, and yes the occasional paper cut. But what some do not realize is, that not only does it cure those hurts and owies, it also cures tear streaked faces, broken spirits and the heart of a whimpering child. A child in itself is already so delicate, that only the most special type of person with the most special type of kiss can really lift their suddenly gloomy day.

The Boo-boo Kiss has special qualities because of the love that it is backed up by. When a mother sees that her most precious treasure is hurting or crying, it is not only the child's heart that breaks, but the mommy's too. Mother's have such a close connection to their children because of that instant connection when they are born. To hold them in your arms after long hours of waiting, is not only magical but the world is put on pause. Whether you have your child because you had to wait 9 months, 2 years or even wait for a wonderful mother to pick you, that connection is by definition magical.

This magic is carried on throughout the years by the mothers. It is a necessity to have, for when that day comes that your child cries out for you and your heart breaks, the only tool you have is the only tool you need... your instinctual magical mommy Boo-boo Kiss.

Back In The Saddle Again.

It has been a long time coming, this post... I just have taken my sweet time writing it. Yes ladies and gentlemen I am back on my weight loss path. No I am not doing the same ol' crazy diet fad as I was before... stupidest thing I have ever done... but I am doing it the good old fashioned way, eating right and exercise. This has been an amazing journey so far. Oh yes, I have been doing this for 5 months and so far I have lost 26 lbs! Yay me... hold the phone...

Addy is coming in and out of my room carrying little white things and throwing them in the trash...? What is she up to? Lets investigate!

Alright folks, I am back... looks like little Addy decided it would be fun to pull out the wipes one by one and throw each one into the trash bin. Doesn't she know that she is wasting money by the pull! Jeeze, kids are wasters of good hard earned cash! What am I going to do with my little super cutie?

Anyways, back to what I was saying. I have decided to lose in total 80 lbs. So far I am proud with myself! I am a little over a quarter of a way there! I have been working very hard by running and eating the way I should, also I have had help from the kind people over at Weight Watchers. It is a great program. Also, I have good friends who are doing this with me, and that kind of support is always nice to have. So soon, hopefully I will be a skinnier and sexier me!

Now I am not saying I want to look like a stick with no curves, because lets get real... what man likes a woman that has no boobs, no butt and a sexy pair of legs? Not my man! He loves it all, he even likes a little bit of extra goodness as he calls it. I wont go into further detail, because lets face it, he is a man and men tend to go a little overboard with descriptions of a sexy female. Not saying women do not talk... because oh we do! We have lucious talks of men... but always in the company of other women. Men will stop and stare when a pair of ripe boobies are in view. Tisk tisk. No tact.

See you need to be like my friend Karen... this girl is not afraid of anything. She will speak her mind, tell you how it is and what it is like the drop of a hat. But the girl has style and tact. I learn much from the ways of Karen. How to do a craft made straight from tulle and ribbons or how to discretely tell your BFF how your husband is so hot and you want him now. Yes this girl knows it all.

I know what your thinking... "Megan, how is what your saying being discrete?" Well, honestly, I am not and I don't care. It is a blog and it came to my mind, not everyone reads it, just my friends who show interest in my life... and those people are usually the ones who laugh right along with me.

But this is way off track, as I was saying, I do not want to be scary and thin Paris Hilton or fake boobs Megan Fox, I want to look like me just thinner. Dont get me wrong I would love to look like Scarlett Johansson, because even I have a crush on the girl. But then I would not be me, and I always want to have my gorgeous voluptuous curves.

Ear, nose, and throat infections! Oh my!!!

Like all children, my baby got sick. Yes, a swollen throat, runny nose and achy ears prove it. She was running a fever last Thursday, and when daddy took her to the Doctors the proof was in the pudding. Now I know this is a lame topic, because lets get real... kids get sick. It wasn't the first nor will it be the last. But taking care of her is the real story...

Remember how I said she is starting to distract? Well, she learned to manipulate the situation from the best manipulator ever... me! Yes, when I am sick I am so groggy and a down right pain. Spencer must really love me to put up with me, because I ask for this and for that, lay in bed and moan... I am as bad as a man with a sniffle!

But back to Addy, even though she was sick she made me laugh. Addy was laying in my bed with her Pedialite and stuffed monkey, and she turns to me and says, "Mommy, Elmi please." By the way, Elmi is Elmo, she cant say the O for some reason. So anyways, I pop in Elmi, and she cries out "No!". So I figured she wanted another Elmo dvd, so I pop in another. Again, "No!"

Well I was running out of options, because we only have three DVDs, so I put in the last one. This time she starts bawling. Big ol' crocodile tears running down her face and the biggest tantrum I have seen yet! I ask her what is the problem and she just moans and cries, "Elmi... Elmi... Elmi". So the last thing I could think of was going online and seeing if she wanted to watch a clip of Elmo.

Success! So for 2 hours we sat there as I clicked on links of Elmo, with her telling me yes or no to the videos. And the one she wanted to see the most often was this one...

But there you go, another growing moment for both baby and mommy.
