The Joys of Motherhood

[caffeinateandpray]

Just got back from running errands. At the last one my boys were asleep and I had to go to the bathroom but didn't want to wake them. (I won't leave them in the car anywhere) So I booked it home and went to the bathroom. We live in the country so I could let them sleep and leave the car running. This is the closest I have gotten to 💩 my pants.

My Mom's Marriage Advice to Me

And her main reason for the advice, in my opinion Photo by Tope. A Asokere on Unsplash I have been single for some years now since the end of a toxic and abusive marriage that nearly ended my life. I am okay now. I took the time to heal both physically and emotionally; to learn how to trust again. This is because I believe that relationships should be by choice and not by force.  The choice…

#antonmataeo has been stuck in the house since Sunday because 1) he had a low grade fever along with cold and congestion and 2) we had an ice storm with below freezing temperatures here in DFW that’s pretty much shut down everything. So @erikkluetz set up the mini trampoline in his soon to be #playroom and he just wants to jump all day and night. #cabinfevercure to the rescue! . . . #momlife #joysofmotherhood #ilovemylife #longhairnomore #weareblessed #iLoveHim #miraclebaby #butbabyitsworthit #ilovemylife #babykluetzmiracle #allboy #thisishowifightmybattles #MiraclesdoHappen #Godisfaithul #firstborn #3yearold #threenager #threenagerlife #mybeautufulboy #sweetchildofmine #threenager #toddlersofinstagram #2023 #energizertoddler #texasicestorm2023 (at Casa de Kluetz) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIqo3CJ_h8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Why wasn’t I told that having a toddler boy is like having a puppy who runs around leaves messes everywhere, bites and scratches when you play together and growls when you tell them no! . . . . #momlife #boymom #antonmataeo #joysofmotherhood #ilovemylife #weareblessed #iLoveHim #miraclebaby #butbabyitsworthit #ilovemylife #babykluetzmiracle #allboy #thisishowifightmybattles #MiraclesdoHappen #Godisfaithul #firstborn #3yearold #mybeautufulboy #sweetchildofmine #threenager #toddlersofinstagram (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnR8k7oOzmp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So We gave #AntonMataeo his #firsthaircut last night. He cried when he realized what we had done and wanted us to put it back. . It was time. I wanted the first cut to be on his own terms, he had warmed up to the idea, said yes but I am not sure he knew what that meant fully. . His hair had become a little to much to undertake with a rambunctious toddler. He was fighting me to wash or comb or brush and he would get knots that took forever to get out. But he had beautiful luscious Sandy brownish blonde hair and I wonder if the color will change and the texture. My cousins who had Honduran moms and German fathers hair were similar to Anton’s and theirs got darker over time. . A few weeks ago he asked me if he would still be #handsome if he got a haircut. I told him he’d be handsome with long or short, curly or wavy or straight. He said Okay Mommy. . @erikkluetz said it was sad mostly because of his reaction and he has been the biggest advocate for cutting it ever since strangers started mistaking him for a girl because of his long hair. But he also never really had to tussle with him to get his hair put up or comb it either. . . . #momlife #joysofmotherhood #ilovemylife #longhairnomore #newdeu #milestone #weareblessed #iLoveHim #miraclebaby #butbabyitsworthit #ilovemylife #babykluetzmiracle #allboy #thisishowifightmybattles #MiraclesdoHappen #Godisfaithul #firstborn #3yearold #mybeautufulboy #sweetchildofmine #threenager #toddlersofinstagram #2023 #newyear (at Casa de Kluetz) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnM2A7EpHCU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I did a thing and entered #AntonMataeo in the 24th annual DFWChild Model Search. As part of our participation, they sent us a custom digital souvenir special cover of DFWChild magazine! The @kimdawsonagency is reviewing all the submissions and will inform us if #babyboy has been selected for an upcoming magazine cover for the next year. If selected they will contact us for a Photoshoot! I’ll keep y’all posted! . . . #momlife #joysofmotherhood #ilovemylife #boybun #Longhairboy #longhairdontcare #weareblessed #iLoveHim #miraclebaby #butbabyitsworthit #ilovemylife #babykluetzmiracle #allboy #thisishowifightmybattles #MiraclesdoHappen #Godisfaithul #firstborn #3yearold #mybeautufulboy #sweetchildofmine #threenager #toddlersofinstagram #momlife @dfwchildmag #dfwchild #kidmodelsearch2022 (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhB4CFOo0I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I decided to get my hair cut for the first time since the last time I got it cut in July 2019. They cut 6” off. I feel like I lost 10 lbs. lol! . It’s been hard to do #selfcare after having #antonmataeo and then the pandemic then my mom going into hospice and caring for her billy and Anton all at once….I haven’t had a lot of time to do anything for me. But even when I have had the time I’m just so exhausted and have no motivation to do any pampering for myself. . I think the last time I had a manicure was before I had my son too! And I really need a massage and schedule an appointment with my chiropractor to get me all back into alignment. . Putting our little boy in preschool has offered me a little down time and it’s been nice. I’m looking forward to more pampering and also catching up with friends haven’t connected with in a long while on #coffeedates as well. It feels good to have done something for me today! . . . #momlife #joysofmotherhood #joysofparenting #haircut #curlyhair #honduran #ilovemylife (at Ulta Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckglfh9pdRU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
