He's Just Not That Into You!

Okay this is my first writing prompt with Mama Kat.  I have been a blog stalker for quite some time but I have been too chicken afraid to do it. 

This adorable little guy is my youngest child.  I know he looks like a little girl… Even though he wears boy clothes everyone says, “he ‘s such a pretty little girl”.  This little angel has me wrapped around his finger.  Maybe it’s because he’s the last baby, or maybe because he’s a boy I don’t know but he is such the love of my life! 

Recently I enrolled us in a mommy and me class.  Since he’ll start kindergarten next year I figured we would bond and have fun this year. Kind of like a year long party for just us.  Last Saturday was our second class and I was so happy to see that he was looking forward to going.  I thought he might have been bored because he is one of the oldest kids in the class but as soon as we walked into class he made friends with this little girl who was the same age he was.  She was a really cute little girl and I thought my son has good taste in girls.

Then the travesty hit.  The class was doing row row row your boat and I said to him “Can I have a kiss?” and he said “NO MOMMY!” My heart sank and then it hit me… He doesn’t want to kiss me because of this little girl he’s hitting on.   This little girl in pink shorts replaced me. Seriously, I’m having a HARD time dealing with this.  He can’t throw me to the side because of some new chick!

It has taken me a few days to be okay with the fact that he’s just exercising his freedom and this is new territory for him.  I don’t want to be the crazy psycho mom who is obsessed with her son.  I just have to deal with the fact That He’s just Not That Into Me : (

Pottery Barn Dream

I haven’t been blogging because a new semester started for me and I’m not an uber-organized person.  My time management skills have gotten very lax over the years. With each child I became less and less in control.

Most of my classes are online but the reading is out of control. I have one class that I have to physically be there and that’s my English class. My teacher is really cool, for lack of better words. She tries to evoke your creativity and makes you think about what it is exactly that you want. I wish my kids had a teacher who really pushed their creativity and advocated thinking outside the box, but I guess elementary school teachers don’t get paid as much as college professors.

What I need is a Pottery Barn Organization System. I love this setup.  In my dream house this is a must have.  

 I would leave m setup exactly the way they have it.  It would make me look like I have it all together!  No one know that I'm trying to keep my sanity and my household in tact be using my iphone as my organization tool. Since I'm dreaming I might as well dream that my husband and my kids all use my system smoothly.  No one is asking me what we're doing each day and where they put their keys, backpack or socks.  Amazingly my Pottery Barn Organizer would have solved all my problem. 

It could happen!

First day of school

I graduated from high school in 1995.  In 2006 I decided that I should go back to school but because I had small children there was no way I’d be able to go full time.  Anyhow here I am four years later and I’m still in community college.  I have been taking online classes but today was my first day in a physical classroom.  It was very different.  I of course feel like I am the oldest woman in the class but my husband swears that at least two or three other women in the class are older than me.  Between you and I they all look like they just graduated from high school but who knows I live in California so there could possibly be women in the class older than me but either way it doesn’t make me feel any better. 

The whole purpose of me blogging is so that I focus my thoughts and hopefully meet other like-minded people. So as of today I am committing myself to blogging at least once a day but if I’m having a really bad day it may be more.  With three children, two businesses, a husband and schoolwork I should be an expert at organization by the time I’m done. Pray for me y’all, I need the help.

Here's to new beginnings!

I’m a WAHM of three gorgeous children 10, 6 and 4.  My husband and I own and operate a real estate brokerage in Southern California.  We work out of our home so that we can spend more time with our children.  I have been in real estate since I was 17 years old and to be honest I’m getting burned out.  I need an outlet to talk about my day and things that generally bother or interest me.  

Let me introduce the family

This is Elijah my little angel

Until next time!
