I dont really know what to blog about today, i just know i want to blog.
Maybe i'll talk about my desire to lose weight and "tone" up. I mean come on.........
My stomach was so damn big when i was carrying my son, but i mean after a month or two i went back to normal.
So why now when my son is working on 3 years being on this planet...is my gut so damn large....
YUCK YUCK YUCK
I'm just not into being a member of the the jiggly belly committee.
I believe my bloated midsection came from working at Nut-ass PNH. because really all i did there was Eat at work 24/7..its not a lot of work to be done
and unless you want to sit down and watch BET all damn day, why your coworkers attempt to have lackluster conversations with you, you walk to the vending machine, and the corner store, and you order out.
The blame is is mine for lacking self control.
So now im going to try to balance out my diet and only eat for nourishment and not just for bored, food lust, or as a social sport. The things that i will eat will also change, hoping to switch in my healthy/grown foods instead of processed junk i've been devouring like its going out of style.
So that is my mid-years resolution: to be more cautious of what i eat, while also increasing activity levels.
Wish me luck
Next Subject: my parenting skills or lack thereof
I love my son, i truly do, but i feel like im not doing him any favors by the inconsistent way that i'm raising him. I'm not talking about no" freaky Friday far-out shit", just the day to do occurrences and my reactions to them.
a FB friend was talking about all the awesome things her 3yr old daughter can do, and im jealous. like she said She knows her full name, her parents name, her phone number...yada yada bull shit. and then she posted a letter that the child wrote (with assistance of course) but still got me feeling like im setting Jahlil up for failure.
So im going to try, no no make it my business to make sure that Jahlil will know this information before his 3rd birthday in august.
Which means for me , not so much time on the computer, and not using TV as a babysitter, when im in one of my moods.
Jahlil does attend school but because of my work hrs, he attends from 2- 12 and basically after lunch 1230 (in my opinion) there isn't a lot of learning going on... around that time its more free play, outside play, and movies after 6 for the kids like Jahlil who parents dont work traditional hours.
I just want my son to have all the opportunities he can, i dont want him to be a slouch, or a loser, i want him to be love education and everything that it can bring him.
Sooo with that being said i gonna to cut the TV off and do things with my son, be it making a game of rolling socks, to arts and crafts projects, to learning his numbers, colors, letters, full name, address, blood type, social...you get the point. i want my child to know as much as his small but absorbent brain will absorb. That means i myself have to get off the computer, turn off the tv, leaving the addiction which is facebook alone, and focus on my most precious possession Jahlil Markese Stephens.
Again this will be a struggle to break out of my old habits, but this will reference back to the first, becasue if we're not sitting in front of the TV eating processed junk, we can do more active and empowering things to strengthen our bodies and minds...
Peace and Love

P.s. more parenting rants to come, my train of thought was interrupted by a random market trip, and such.
