One of the things I love most about Mommyhood is teaching my daughter new phrases.

Mommy:  Bear say “I love you mommy.”

Bear:  Mommy I love daddy.

Lesson over.

***I dedicate this picture to bear’s daddy.  Honey you’ve been replaced by a younger, more handsome little man.

Come meet Socheat Nha before she returns home on August 18th.   Socheat, a brave and amazing burst of a life, has journeyed from her tiny village in Cambodia all the way to the United States with her father to undergo heart surgery.

I will be there taking pictures so don’t forget to come by to drop me a little HELLO!

I’m a great driver.  I have never had a ticket or an accident (knock on wood) ever.  I’m super cautious when I’m on the road. 

I was 17 when I first laid hands on the steering wheel. I drove with my permit for a year before I decided to take the plunge to get my drivers licence.  I wanted to be sure that I’ve mastered the art of driving.

Okay,  now take a moment everyone to finish doing what you’re doing. 

Ready?

I failed.  I failed my drivers test.  It took me 5 times before I passed.  You read it right five…cinco…cinq…fünf…TIMES!!

On the  5th try I had to beg for a passing score.  I was one point from FAILING.

What’s the moral of this story? 

The DMV does not want Asian women driving on the road.  Yeah  I said it.

**On a side note my mother in law refuses to sit in the car whenever I’m in the drivers seat.  The last time she sat with me she had a handful of plastic bags with her (just in case she gets car sick).

For my niece 1st birthday I wanted to give her the gift of driving.  Start her off young.

Dear Blog,

Today I’m calling in sick.  Actually since the week started.  I’ve been in denial.  I figured if I don’t admit it, it will eventually go away on it’s own.  Poof be gone! HA!

I’ve been feeling under the weather since the holiday weekend.  I wake up each morning with only a quarter of energy to go off.  As I sit here typing my fingers are slowly falling asleep.  I crave sleep so BADDDDD!

I might have to show up to work tomorrow with a pillow and a nice warm fuzzy blankie (and a bucket of coffee).

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sleepy….Dizzy…Tired…Runny Nose…Watery Itchy Eyes…Thang

When I was pregnant, I wanted a son….sooooooo bad!  When we found out that the little life in me was a girl I made the doctor recheck.  For the next 6 months we rechecked again and again and again.  What was I thinking?  It’s not my fault.  I was under the influence of donuts and cheesecakes.   I blame it all on the pregnancy.   I mean who eats fried chicken with orange soda for breakfast?  Only a pregnant person can justify for these actions. 

It’s funny how life works.  You don’t always get what you want; you end up with what you need.  I needed her.  How can something so little have so much life?  She’s my pocket full of sunshine, all 8 sides of her.
