No Morning Like an Aliyy Morning…….


Just imagine your hunny waking you in a panic as the entire house had overslept about 45 minutes.  Don’t think 45 minutes is much……oh you have never experienced a morning with the Aliyy’s.  Oh goodness; Jamir doesn’t have any clean underwear.  I went into a true panic at this point.  Of course you can’t wash any when you are already late so what’s the next best thing?  Put him on a pair of his twin’s undies that’s one size smaller than his.  Get shirts ironed and by chance or an act of God open the dryer to discover this child has two pair in the dryer.  Thank you God….I knew you loved me.  So the girls are dressed grabbed a breakfast snack and daddy got them out and headed to school.  Now leaving me solo with two year old twins and I’m in need of a shower.  What exactly does it mean when you say; sit right here boys and watch TV while mommy takes a quick shower.   It means the following:

1.      Take the shoe laces out of your shoes
2.      Pull every noisy toy you are able to out of the toy box in the room and put them on the floor in the main living area
3.      Raid the snack cabinet because surely our breakfast wasn’t enough
4.      Attempt to finish big sister’s school project to be finished this afternoon because of course she and mommy aren’t able to do it alone
5.      Wrestle and may the sleepiest little guy cry first

So out the shower mommy has to clean up the living area because I can’t dare leave the house looking like I’ve been robbed.  Now to get my hair curled and complete the 15 minute process of getting the twins to potty, shoes on and jackets on.  Re-lace the shoes now while twins finishing up on the potty only for Jamir to emerge completely naked.  Oh no….now I have to redress a baby boy.  The moment a mommy has to walk away to take a deep breath to avoid over-reacting.  Go outside to warm up the van!!  Lol

Out the door we go and now our 45 minutes of too much sleep has set us an hour and a half behind schedule.  Tsss….Tsss….Tsss  But we enjoyed our drive as we always do; having my special moment with my baby boys looking for every tractor, motorcycle, semi-truck, dump truck and ambulance that you may past on the road.  I love these moments even when I’m super late and I’m proud of myself for not over-reacting this morning.  Lesson for the day: If I would have yelled or called my hubby crying (my normal reactions) it would not have changed my situation nor slowed down the clock so I maintained my pressure and basked in the moment.  I’m seeing my parental and emotional growth….it feels so good!!

Until next time.

Growing in Wisdom.....

You know I've learned in my 30 years some valuable things that I hope I'm able to remember for a lifetime and past along to my children.  Out of all these things learned there are two things that I hold on to and even have the joys of reminding the elders in my life {although the had the pleasure of teaching me}.  "Time heals all wounds"......what a big fat lie.  This is the famous statement dished to mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers.  Folks stop making this statement that should have died with mythological creatures.....it's not true!  Its not the time that does the healing but the information that you are able to learn within that time frame.  Now.....to all the mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers please remember that you must make great use to the time that God has given you beyond such tragic events in your life and learn to live beyond it, "Make a change, to receive a change" is my statement of reality.  "Love is not suppose to be this m...

God is still there with you....PRAISE him!

Good Afternoon.  I pray that life has been manageable for all of you, I've been feeling like a new puppy treading water (barely staying afloat).  lol  Last night I decided that I could not be consumed by every little imperfect detail of life or every plan that isn't happening the way I want it to.  In these moments it is easy to shift your focus from the things of God to the things of man.  In many instances at this stage of my life it tends to be my family, health or career but regardless if stand more firmly on God's word and study the word deeper in the tough times rather than studying the situation the end result will be a smoother transition. God didn't leave us to figure out life alone but he however never promised we won't have it hard from time to time.  He did promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us!  This scripture stands firm in my heart this moment and I will lean on his love as he guides me. So today I tell you to be encoura...

Leaning into 2013....

As we have now entered into a new year I see the growth and change that has pushed me into this year.   2012 provided me with several learning experiences and many changes that I will take into 2013.   In 2012 my family said hello to a sister getting married {new brother in-law} as well as a mommy getting engaged…..we now look forward to the soon arrival of a new nephew bringing in 2013 with a BIG BANG!!   I see the maturity in my marriage in a year’s time.   My children have also all began new chapters as we enter into another year and it is great to see…..   2012…….   Raven has gone from an uncomfortable middle school freshman questioning her place to a straight ‘A’ 7 th grader taking a place in society.   An artistic mind with a fashion sense to kill….all while making her parents extremely proud.   We do encounter typical preteen and parenting conflicts but I have loved every day of being her mom and she makes me immensely prou...
