I Decided to Return Child #3
Well, it's now back to 2 children. Last week I decided to return child number 3 to his parents. I'm sure they wont mind that he is back, I'm sure his mommy is happy to have her little boy. Now she can make his lunches, pick up after him, do his laundry, remind him to take the garbage out, make him mind his manners and wake him up every morning at 6am.
I have to admit I was tired of having '3' children. Especially since the I have now returned was a 26 year old man who acted like a 4 year old, wanted to party like a teenager and spend like a bachelor.
Things will be different for a while but in a good way. Back to a happy and positive home! Besides if I'm gonna do it all myself I'm gonna do it without a fully capable man sitting on my couch playing games on his computer!

Give Gratitude
I decided that since my son is old enough to understand the value of thanks that I would start a morning ritual with him where we will name 3 things that we are grateful for. We started this morning and these are the things we are grateful for;
Me;
1. Healthy, beautiful (inside & out) children
2. A good job to provide us with a nice home, good food and nice clothes.
3. and A son is who is a very good big brother to his baby sister.
My Son;
1. All of the nice toys his Mommy & Daddy have bought him.
2. His baby sister.
3. and that his baby sister loves him.
I would love to hear what you & your children are thankful for, so please do share!!
Have a great day!!

Baby From China
This story crossed my mind this morning and since it still makes me laugh I thought I'd share it and make you laugh too!
When I was pregnant with my daughter and my son was 3, I was in the washroom when he came bursting in through the door and stood there and stared at me. Totally taken off guard by his abrupt entrance I asked him if everything was alright. He stared at me for another few seconds then asked me in a very serious tone, "How is my baby sister gonna get outta there" pointing to my belly. "Is your middle wife gonna cut her outta there?" He seemed quite concerned at this point.
I became a little nervous at this point, wondering how to tell this curious 3 year old boy how is sister would be born. I decided to go with the truth and I looked at him and told him "No, honey, Mommy is going to push your baby sister out" A look of disgust came over his face and he stared at me for a moment...."YOU"RE GONNA POOP OUT MY BABY SISTER?!?!" he demanded to know. I laughed, I tried not to, but I couldn't help it! "No, no honey, I am not going to poop her out. Mommy's have a special place for the baby to come out."
He seemed to be relieved to find out his sister was not going to be pooped out but then again a funny look came across his face and he put his hand over his 'private area', leaned in close and whispered to me, "you mean she is going to come out of your penis?" Again, trying not to laugh, I explained to him, again, the difference between boys and girls and that girls have different private parts than boys do.
"What's it called then?" he wanted to know. Man, this was becoming awkward, I silently begged that he did not ask me how babies were made, I was not ready for this! "Well honey, it's a vagina" (I'm not into naming them funny names, after all it is what it is) He looked at me and with satisfaction in his voice, he said, "ok" and left the washroom.
Thinking that was that, I went about my day. Later that night my neighbor stopped by and Kayden went running up to her, "Guess what, guess what?!?!" She asked him what, and he looked at her, with all seriousness and told her "My baby sister is coming from China"
I have never laughed so hard!! Of course my neighbor was confused as it was obvious we were not adopting a baby from China, so she asked him what he meant and he continued to tell her the entire story of how boys and girls are different and girls have a special "china" for the baby to come out of. She had a good laugh at this, and so did everyone Kayden told for the next few days! Grandparents, his Pre-School teacher and even strangers!
Now, if that wasn't enough, just last week I had the FedEx guy come and drop off a shipment for me. Being a curious 4 year old boy my son asked him where the package was from. The FedEx guy told him, "this is from China" I'm sure you can imagine the look on my sons face when he heard this reply! Before he could say anything I quickly told him "China is a place far away, now go inside and get a cookie". The word cookie caught his attention and he went inside.
Whew, dodged an embarrassing moment there!

It's ALL About Me! (Actually it isn't.....)
MEI mentioned in my 'about me' section that I am a work from home mother. I thought perhaps I would share with you, my readers (if there are any of you?) what it is I do.
Everyday I log onto my computer and spend my day researching, writing, blogging and talking about all things pertaining to beauty. Hairstyles, make-up, and Professional Hair Styling Tools.
I have been doing this for over 3 years now and absolutely love it! It doesn't feel much like work at all as a matter of fact. My new website www.myhairstylingtools.com is doing rather well, and in the next few months I will be adding more products to it, very exciting! We have just released the New Karmin Envy as well and it's a big hit!
The ironic part is that day in and day out as I increase my knowledge of what is going on in the world of beauty I am sitting here in my PJ's, hair in a pony tail and no make-up on. I cannot even remember the last time I wore make up! I do use my Hair Straightener on a regular basis however as I would be lost without it!
Now, you're probably thinking, what would a girl who doesn't wear make-up or style her regularly know about this stuff?? Well, just think, if I spent my day doing my hair and make up I would be left with about enough time to tend to my children, clean my home, and make dinner. So I choose to stay in my PJ's, put my hair in a pony and find out what is going on in the world of beauty so I can tell those of you who may have a little more time than me. I don't mind though, so don't feel bad...lol....my sacrifice is your gain and I'm more than ok with that!
Just think though, when I do get to go out I look incredibly hot thanks to my great knowledge of beauty!!
I crack myself up, I hope you giggled a little too ;)
Check out my links and let me know what you think!! I love to hear your feedback!!
