A CRY FOR HELP!!!

THIS POST IS FOR MY MAMMIE AND AUNT SCHNELL IN ALABAMA. THINGS ARE GETTING REALLY SERIOUS IN TEXAS. I AM ALMOST OUT OF SUCKERS AND MY MOMMY WON'T BUY ME ANY MORE. SHE THINKS THEY ARE MESSY. I DID GET IT ALL OVER ME TODAY, YES IN MY HAIR TOO. BUT THEY ARE SOOOOOO GOOD. GOTTA GO, I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ON THE COMPUTER. MY MOMMY THINKS I AM SLEEPING. HA HA, I SURE DO KNOW HOW TO TRICK HER. I DO LOVE HER SO MUCH BUT I NEED MY SUCKER FIX.

Maya and I were in Wal-mart today. She was in the cart at the checkout. The cashier was a young girl. She started telling me how cute Maya was. Then she said it must be fun to babysit her. I told her that Maya was my daughter. She looked so shocked. The she said "her daddy must be black". So, I decided to run with that. I looked her right in the eyes and told her that I really didn't know what her daddy looked like. I wish I had taken my camera. The look on her face was priceless. I really thought that her eyeballs were going to pop out. She was speechless!!! So, I told her that she was adopted from Guatemala. She said that she was so sorry but that she just thought that there was NO way she could be my daughter. She then told me how lucky Maya is and that I was a saint for doing that. I told her just how blessed I was to be Maya's mommy. It was a very interesting and fun conversation. That was my first encounter with questions.

Mammie and Schnell, Maya is right I do think suckers are messy but I have bought her quite a few (she left that out). I guess I am going to hide the computer before Maya gets me in trouble.

A DAY IN THE PARK WITH MAYA!!!!

NOW THAT I AM AT THE BOTTOM, HOW DO I GET DOWN?
MY MOMMY IS CRAZY IF SHE THINKS I AM GOING DOWN THIS BIG RED THING!!!
OUCH, GET ME OFF THESE LITTLE PEBBLES.
WALKING THROUGH THE TUNNEL

AFTER DEBORAH WENT TO WORK ME AND MAYA HEADED FOR THE PARK. SHE LOVED CLIMBING ON EVERYTHING. SHE CAN GO UP STEPS NOW. NOT A GOOD THING FOR ME. SHE FINALLY STARTED TO LIKE THE SLIDE. I PUT HER IN THE SWING AND AS I STARTED SWINGING HER, SHE STARTED SCREAMING. I HAD A BLAST WITH HER. AFTER THE PARK WE TOOK A LONG RIDE IN THE STROLLER. SHE LOVES WATCHING THE BIRDS. SHE IS SUCH A HAPPY AND FUN BABY.

TO ALL THE MOMMY'S!!!!

A newborn's conversation with God:

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small andhelpless?"God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.""And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.""Who will protect me?"God said, "Our angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.""But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."

FAVORITE FOTO FRIDAY!!!

ON TO ANOTHER SUBJECT. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE SOME LURKERS. I GET ABOUT 80 HITS PER DAY AND ONLY 5-6 COMMENTS. BEFORE MAYA CAME HOME I HAD A LOT OF FAITHFUL READERS AND COMMENTERS. WHERE ARE YOU???? THIS IS THE HAPPY PART OF THE JOURNEY. YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE WOULD ENJOY READING THIS PART OF THE JOURNEY. GUESS NOT!!!!

WE HAD A HORRIBLE NIGHT LAST NIGHT. MAYA FINALLY SETTLED DOWN AROUND 5:30 THIS MORNING AND SLEPT UNTIL 7 AM. SHE THEN TOOK A LITTLE NAP. SHE HAS FELT PRETTY GOOD TODAY. I JUST WISH THAT TOOTH WOULD SHOW ITSELF. WHY CAN'T THEY BE BORN WITH ALL OF THEIR TEETH??? SHE IS SOUND ASLEEP RIGHT NOW. SAY A PRAYER THAT IT LAST.

I REALLY MISS ALL OF MY FAMILY. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT I AM HOMESICK. I HATE THAT MAYA IS NOT GETTING TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM. SHE IS SO SWEET AND CUTE. THEY NEED TO BE WITH HER. SO, I THINK I WILL BE LOOKING FOR A JOB VERY CLOSE TO HOME AFTER CHRISTMAS.

I HAD TO WORK ALL WEEKEND SO I DIDN'T GET TO DO MUCH WITH MY LITTLE MAYA. SO, TODAY WE SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY TOGETHER DOING FUN THINGS. FIRST WE WENT TO TARGET THEN OFF TO THE MALL. MAYA RODE SEVERAL RIDES BUT SHE WASN'T REALLY THRILLED. THEN WE DID A LITTLE SHOPPING. SHE LOVED THAT. I WASN'T REALLY PAYING THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO HERE SO WHEN WE GOT TO THE COUNTER SHE HAD HER STROLLER FULL. IT WAS SO CUTE. THIS MORNING SHE WASN'T FEELING VERY WELL. MORE TEETH COMING. IF SHE IS FEELING BETTER WE ARE OFF THE INFLATABLE FUNLAND TOMORROW.

EDITED TO ADD: IT IS NOW 1:15 AM. MAYA WENT TO BED AT 8 PM. SHE HAS BEEN AWAKE SINCE 11 PM SICK. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR HER. SHE IS NOW BACK IN HER BED SOUND ASLEEP. SHE IS VERY RESTLESS BUT SHE IS SLEEPING FOR NOW.
