National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month

May is National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month along with Mason's birthday month.  This time of year makes me think back to the days I was so swollen and waddling around the halls at school.  Back to the times where I peed in between every single class and sometimes even more than that.  Back to when I would go to bed at 7 o'clock (sometimes even 6) and wake up still so tired.  Back to when I had no idea if I would make it to my high school graduation.

This is a life that I would never wish upon anyone else but a life I wouldn't trade for the world.  If I didn't have Mason, I would have taken a different path with my life.  But God threw a curve in my road and has brought me to a different place in life but a great one.  God has blessed me with a healthy, handsome, and full of life little boy but I always pictured him blessing me with a child when I was married.  You can't always control what life throws at you, but one thing you can control is your sex life.  It only takes one time to get pregnant.  Keep your childhood.  Your late nights should be out hanging with friends instead of up until 2 a.m. with a crying baby. Kids shouldn't have to watch their parents grow up.  Parents should be watching their kids grow up.

That Thing Called "Co-Parenting"

Co-parenting.....oh the joys!   This has been a hot topic on my Facebook newsfeed lately.  I think anyone that has to co-parent doesn't enjoy it.  It can be very difficult and a huge struggle.  Some people are great at it and I envy those people.  Some people wish they could parent alone instead of having to co-parent and I have been right there with you.  Over the past almost five years my co-parenting style has definitely evolved.  Right now it is somewhat non-existent and that is just the way I like it. I have decided that Mason's father can choose how much involvement he wants in Mason's life but I am not going to go out of my way to force it on him.  The door is always open to call Mason whenever he wants and to come to Mason's activities.  Even though that door is open.....he rarely uses it.  I inform him of the things that I am legally required to notify him about and he will text me randomly every once in awhile to see how Maso...

I am the Lucky One

Yesterday I was looking on my Timehop and a blog popped up that I shared a year ago (I didn't write it).  It was titled "Why I get to hate you." https://noonetellsthetruth.wordpress.com/2015/02/14/why-i-get-to-hate-you/  All of the points in the article were spot on.  But the article also made me realize that I am the lucky one. 1) I got to witness all of the firsts. From rolling over to walking, riding a bike, talking, the list goes on and on.  Those firsts brought so much joy to me.  Mason was actually walking for a month before you ever knew. The only reason you found out was because I finally told you.  As a parent you are so proud of your child, I would never want to miss that! 2) When Mason is sad, hurt, or sick who does he call for?  Not you.  He wants me, or even sometimes he wants his Grandma or Aunt Bree. We have been his caretakers his whole life.  We give him comfort, you don't fit in in that category. 3) I am the one who is...

Become a Partner in Hope

Today is February 4th, which also happens to be World Cancer Day.  In honor of World Cancer Day, the radio station I listen to everyday at work had many cancer survivors, and parents of cancer patients tell their stories.  Every time a parent or a child told their story, I was almost in tears.  In every story they all said "I never thought it would happen to me."  It is so true, no one ever thinks it is going to happen to them.  I couldn't even begin to imagine if I was told that my son has cancer.  I don't want to even think about it.  After hearing all of these stories I decided I wanted to do something to help.  So I went on to stjude.org and became a partner in hope.  I signed up to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital monthly.  It comes straight out of your credit card or bank account.  You can choose the dollar amount to donate per month.  Any amount helps so much.  It is so easy to do and I hope others wi...
