Tonight my child didn’t want to take a bath.

This is not unusual she “hates” it. “I don’t want too!” She says.

So I gave her a warning. “You have until I get this bath run…”

So dad decides to walk in the room. I know full well he ain’t gonna be able to get her to do anything. And then I hear her crying over the sound of water running into the tub.

I go in there and cannot keep a straight face. The Hubs is just sitting in the chair and The Kid is crying in the loveseat. But I can tell (you just can as a parent) that these are not true tears. These are crocodile tears. She’s faking it. She’s getting really good at faking it.

So I straighten my face up, ask her if she’s done. She stops the fake tears, and I have to raise my voice. Not yelling or screaming. But clearly showing her I am the boss, not her.

Eventually she reluctantly comes to the bathroom for the bath. And no time later, she’s back to telling me, “you’re the meat mommy in the whole world.” And “guess whose my favorite in the whole world?” And the ever amazing, “you’re my favorite mommy.”

Kid I’m your only mommy. But I ain’t mad.

She is young yet. Less than ten. She has not been jaded or broken or wounded by the world, or worst of all, a parent. She’s not had her heart truly broken by someone she can trust, someone she loves.

It’ll happen one day. If it is by lort, punish me for eternity because I would never harm that child if I can help it. But if someone else does it they have me to deal with. And my wrath will be mighty.

But seeking vengeance for my baby’s broken heart will not heal it. And one day she will be hurt and she’ll see she cannot be so quick to forgive. Though I wish I could keep her pure and loving and happy for ever.

Love your babies, friends.

And beware the almighty wrath of the momma.


Thanks for reading!

I shall tell you a secret.

It’s not a secret, I guess. Not really. But it’s my special little something.

As many of you may know, I found out in April that I’m pregnant. I’ve since learned that we will be welcoming a tiny baby girl into the world around December 16!

This is a very important and blessed piece of news, since not yet two years ago I feared I might never be a mother. It was a difficult fear-filled time for me, since motherhood has always been something I’ve dreamed of. So our little miracle is a very special thing, indeed.

In order to show our little girl, who I’ll call S here, that I love her, was to begin something extra special for her.

I’ve started a journal, just for her. When little miss S is not so little, she’ll have this special piece of me, a journal filled with all the love and stories and memories I want her to have and hear and hold.

Just one entry in, and I already feel closer to her. Not to mention the many kicks and punches she’s dealt me in the last twenty-four hours. Seriously, she might be in karate classes when she’s older. What I mean is, she could be TEACHING them!

I absolutely cannot wait for all the sleep I’ll not be getting (not getting much now), all the stink diapers I’ll change (not as bad as colostomy bags, ever), and all the money I’ll never get to spend on me again (I spend $50 tonight, on other people). I’m ready. So very gleefully, half-asleep ready.

Seriously though. It’s like 4:30am here. I’m beat. But I sleep better when I’m completely exhausted, as if I weren’t already!

Thanks for Reading!
