{Am I Even a Mom Anymore?}

I'm honestly not so sure. I mean, I've got kids living in my house. I provide food and clothing for these children. I have spent sleepless nights cleaning up vomit and checking temperatures when they spike a fever.

{Where am I now? | #weightwatchers update!}

Can I just start this blog off by apologizing for not updating you all on my journey more? I'm aware that I've said that before, but really, it's a struggle for me to sit down and talk about it. I just don't want to lol. Especially on those weeks that I don't lose anything. Or I don't feel like I've lost enough. But I mean, what's enough? Everyone says a loss is a loss, but is it really? I hope so. Because my turtle pace of a weight loss journey makes me want to scream.

{Taking a Step Back | #NachoParenting }

For fourteen years I have been Dawn's main parent. Although my husband has obviously been here, he has worked the entire time. He left raising the kids up to me. Which is fine. That's what I've always wanted. Or I did anyway. Apparently though, I did it wrong. Or maybe I just don't know what the hell I'm doing when it comes to raising her? Either way, I have come to a decision this past week, it was a long time coming.

I am no longer going to be the hands on parent.

I am no longer going to be the disciplinarian in the house (when it comes to her).

I am employing the Nacho Parenting Theory.

What is Nacho Parenting? I've got a link for that...
