anyways goodnight people. ily and i lovelovelove my son. leave me love :)

sometimes i smile...for you

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes

You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile
* my son is my best friend. he makes me smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head, spin like a record, crazy on a sunday night. He makes me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe, shine like gold, buzz like a bee. just the thought of him drives me wild. My son makes me smile*

-Xa'Kaevyan, carry my heart. take care of it because its yours. as hard as i try...ill never be the PERFECT mom. but just the simple fact that i try is more than most. Your mommys baby boy, now and forever. when i hear this song, i think of you and the things i do for you. like dance with you at night to get you tired, sing to you, even though i dont sing in front of anyone. the way you push me outa the bed in the morning cause darn it, your ready to get up. the bubbly baths when you pick the scent.

and believe it or not, the manymanymany things you do for me. Everything about you, the funny 4 teeth smile, the kisses, when you try to blow on my belly like i do yours, the way you run away when youve put toliet paper in your mouth and i chase after you and you fall down and try to cover your face and hide. the way you run from the vaccum cleaner when i turn it on. crawling under chairs to get to the computer cord to cut off the computer when you think i should pay attention to you (attention hog lol) the way you sit on my lap, grab my face and actually have conversations with me. the way you eat your sucker, and then put it on my nose when you want to share.

i love you so much. your the greatest. i cant believe your already 1 (in 19 days) and its really already been a year. im happy that we have made it so far and there will be manymanymany more birthdays to share with me. but in a way, im sad. im scared to realize that one day you will be a grown man...and ill be old...

mommy loves her facers right now, cause who knows how long your gunna be my facers, i know oone day your gunna want me to call you by your name or some crazy nickname your friends will give you...but you will always be mommas face.

love, mom

im...sorry

blogged about life these days. between deciding what to do for my son and working to get stuff for him and losing my pepa, and all the crazy other junk, crap, shit in my life. i havent been a very good Tyasia...

update on Kaevyan: he is a runner, and i think he may write with his left hand and do everything else, with his right. he is big on kisses nowadays and i think he is obsessed with Jacob :)

update on me:
everything lately has me struggling. getting up in the morning (if it was for kaevyan beating me in the face and his kisses i wouldnt) and going to bed at night...its like a constant torture. i dont have anyone to talk to about how i really feel. because if i open up, then i feel like everyone is judging me. there is no one who understands and everyone who thinks they do. i just...dont feel like me....

i dont feel depressed but i feel...like im not Tyasia...im not happy. im having to try really hard just to keep from crying in all my spare moments. everything hurts, every word, people, the things they say... things that can never be taken back. and i felt like i finally had someone to talk to but they dissappeared. im confused and i get mad at everything, things i usually laugh at, now i cry. its like ppd all over again but for no reason.

i feel...lonley. i feel strong sometimes, and i know im a good mother, but then things happen, people say things, they show you who they really are...and i feel like nobody. i know i know. my son thinks im somebody. my son loves me, he is my one and only i love him more than ANYTHING ELSE on the planet. and sometimes i feel as if, my life is perfect. theres nothing wrong. no problems, no insecurities, no bad blood, no nothing. but then all the memories come back and i feel a peice of me break each time.

im am so sick and so tired of breaking...everyone else gets to be happy...

so where the hell is my happy ending?

how???

how???
so the other night i posted about how my bed almost caught fire with my son and i still in it... was it a sign from god. id think yes, others no...heres how it happened...



well i was getting ready for bed, kaevyan was already asleep and i was getting the blankets ready for bed, im always cold at night so i sleep with the electric blanket and when its on it has a little orange light that comes on ...well i had everything set up and i was just plugging the end cord into the blanket and i saw this little orange spark come from within the cord/plug part and at first i thought it was just the orange on light so i was gunna ignore it and go to bed but instead something told me to go ahead and unplug it, so i unpluged it and tried to re-plug it until i realized its was a spark that had caught a little flame on the end of the bed so i quickly got up and put it out...and to think if i wouldave ignored the little voice in my head...i might not be here right now...

why i do it...

yes, my son will be one next month. yes i am planning on continuing to breastfeed. no it doesnt bother me. what? it bothers you??? well thats too damn bad.

why i breastfeed: no i wasnt breastfed, but when i first got pregnant i knew breastfeeding was for me, didnt have any weird feelings about it, its just what had to happen. from the get-go all i got were negative reactions, and sarcastic tones. but i ignored my audience and went with what i knew would be the right thing...

i didnt know what to expect when kaevyan had his first feeding. but i know i didnt expect it to be so painful. but he caught on quickly and baby boy and i established the most amazing bond that i never wouldave expected to go this far...

back when i didnt have a clue about life and how hard it is being a single young mom, if you told me i was going to breastfeed straight through the entire first year, i wouldave laughed and called you crazy, yet here i am, one month away from the first year and now im fighting to explain to everyone why im NOT STOPPING at 1 year.

i could throw a bunch of studies and statistics and things like that at you...but no matter what the benefits are, over all. i am breastfeeding my son because its what he wants and its what i want and he isnt ready to have no more yums and im not ready to break that bond. and i dont care that i need to let go, and i dont care that he is getting too big, and i dont care that he has teeth and can eat table food and drink from a sippy, and i dont care that you think im a bad mom because you think bfing beyond 1 year is just a sickening form of child abuse.

bfing is a beautiful, selfless, innocent, precious bond that only a mother and her child can share, and its not up to ANYONE to say, you should stop because of this many reasons...its not up to you. its up to my son. and me

so i commend the moms (excpecailly the young moms) who fight through the negative comments and the stares and the hurtful condesending words and actions of others, i commend those of you who know exactly what bfing is and love it, it makes you proud. nevernevernver be ashamed of the fact you breastfeed. never run and hide, never. Breastfeeding is a natural part of life...and i will be so happy when americans finally realize that...

there and there

Are you nursing a baby over 12 months old and feeling that you have to justify why you are still breastfeeding a child who can walk and talk? Do you feel under pressure to wean your child from the breast? Are you questioning your own reasons for continuing to breastfeed? How can you handle criticism of your parenting choices?

Choosing to do things differently from other mothers who initiate weaning earlier demands courage, self-assurance, and a good support system. Early weaning is the norm in countries where breastfeeding is regarded mainly as a source of nutrition. Many people are uncomfortable seeing mothers breastfeeding children because they regard breasts as sexual objects, and frown upon nursing in public. If you are a breastfeeding mother of a toddler get support wherever you can find it.

If you are encountering criticism from relatives or friends, their concerns may likely stem from their own parenting experiences or lack of knowledge about breastfeeding. Try not to feel attacked; these are people who care about you. Listen to what they have to say and acknowledge their concerns. Remember you are under no obligation to make them change their mind. Let them know that you have given the subject much thought but express your feelings about wanting what is best for your child positively rather than by attacking theirs.

Handling Criticism for Continuing to Breastfeed
If someone criticizes you for continuing to breastfeed your toddler consider:
Acknowledging in a noncommittal fashion what the person is saying, for example, “Thank you. I’ll remember that.”
Walking away or changing the subject.
Sharing information by referring to books or articles on extended nursing.
Making a joke about the situation, not about the other person.
Empathising to demonstrate that you understand how the other person is feeling.
Advantages for Mother Continuing to Breastfeed
Breastfeeding is frequently blamed if a mother is stressed or tired, yet there are many benefits to continuing to breastfeed, including:
Relaxing effects. Breastfeeding suppresses the nervous system’s hormonal response to stress helping you to calm down.
A few guaranteed moments to rest each day. You can count on breastfeeding to provide a few opportunities to put your feet up and hug your little one.
Decreased risk of disease. There is convincing evidence that breastfeeding protects against disease including the risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis.
Lactational Amenorrhea. The natural infertility experienced while breastfeeding. Some women going two years or longer without menstruating and its physical and emotional issues.

Advantages for Toddlers Continuing to Breastfeed
Your milk maintains its nutritional value and confers emotional benefits too.
Immune system. It takes between two and six years for a child’s immune system to fully mature. Human milk continues to complement and boost the immune system for as long as it is offered, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics "Policy Statement on Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk" Pediatrics 1997; 100(6): 1035-39.
Oral development. Breastfeeding provides a natural outlet for non-nutritive sucking that promotes proper oral development, which has been found to improve speech, according to Davis, D. et al. "Infant Feeding Practices and occlusal outcomes a longitudinal study"J Can Dent Assoc 1991; 57(7):593-594.

Cognitive development. Breastfeeding helps your child reach his full potential.
Comfort. Don’t underestimate the importance of loving touch. You can’t spoil a child by giving him affection.
Self-Esteem. Responsive mothering is an expression of trust that helps your child feel good about himself.
Children all outgrow the need to breastfeed. It’s normal and healthy for toddlers to breastfeed but all mothers and babies are different and there is no one correct age to wean. Be clear about what you want and what works for your family. Remember this is your child and your decision.

...she took them

apparently a kiss means nothing...

so i knew this girl and we werent much of friends, but one day something terrible happened. lots of things in life are difficult and when things dont go our way, we tend to get unhappy... when feelings inside us arent let out to leave they build up inside and can eat you alive. this girl and i, i thought we had nothing in common, when in sense...we do...this girl and i have or have had a broken heart and the terrible feelings that can tear you apart...

so this girl and i are talking and i know we feel bad, and she tells me you know, im going to feel bad again but right now...im going to concentrate on being happy. and i said yes that makes sense...and what i realized when she said that was through pain its best to try and be happy, and even though you know you will continue to hurt for a while its best to try and be happy...

im totally there but i want to let it out that though its better to try nd be happy, never keep your feelings caught up inside of you too long...ive done that alot and it only comes back to hurt more...but know time will heal all the pain and trusting god to help set you in the path he wants you to go down will help. if i didnt have god throuhg all the stuff i have been through id be completely lost.

so this girl and i are now good friends and i feel like i can talk to her, and though its only been a couple of days...i feel like she could be one of my safe people and that helps to know that. so to this girl...thank you so much. and thank you to all my safe people, peyt, kell, nesha... and more recently audrey, thank you for begining someone im comforatable enough to talk to and be myself around cuz that doesnt happen often...

so this girl and i, sitting on a couch disscussing our feelings and i...to be honest, im so glad i met you. im happy that we went through all this crap bcuz god knew it would happen this way and though it hurt i can honestly say im happy it was that way because i got to know you for who you are and in he end you became my friend :)

so this girl and i, we are crazy, coo-koo, and we get along...and shes my friend...

oh and she took the shot glasses back...

i love my safe people :)

i needed to blog...

this is crazy, im hanging with someone ive never thought id be hanging out with :) and im actually pretty happy with it...what sukks is going through hard memories and reliving the past to go over and over and try to make these things work and ...i think its killing me to hear things like this and i feel like breaking down but i cant...in my world its not allowed..., i hate myself for believing lies and letting stuff get in the way of me actually seeing the real you...i want so bad to be done but i dont know what else i can do...i want you to be apart of his life but you just have this thing in your mind that prohibits you from growing up and caring...im at a point where im so tired of all the bullshit this is bringing on my life and i just...something in me tells me no and something tells me go...question is...which road do i take?

To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace. Luke 1: 79

But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. John 16: 13

A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure. Proverbs 16: 9

ive finally figured it out...

so yes, i do over-shadow my son. he falls over from a standing position, he falls over a couple inches off something, he trips and rolls off of something, he hits his head, any little thing that hurts him i wanna jump in the car and drive to the emergency room and yell at the doctors to do something. and as a parent i get alot of negative feedback from others who think im spoiling him or trying to over power him and never let him experience hurt or pain or anything...

well i finally sat down and really thought about it and i know why im really over protective and its not a bad reason...to be truthful. i have friends who held their babies in their arms and laid them down for a nap and their children never woke up. ive heard of people who wait to take their kids in to the doctor for something as small as what seems like an ear infection and a couple of days later theyve died of menegitis...so many scary stories about women losing their little ones and im scared...

i lay kaevyan down for a nap and check on him almost every 20 minutes and still feel bad cause its not often enough...he plays on a small matress on the floor which is less then a half foot drop and he will roll off, and i literally will sprint for him to pick him up and cuddle, just to be sure he is ok...i get frusterated with people when i mention that i want to take kaevyan to the dr cause he just doesnt look ok or act ok and people tell me its ok tyasia im sure he is fine...im SCARED...

im so scared of losing my little boy. i know to some people this sounds stupid but since everyone wants to know why im all over the poor kid when he bumps his head or trips and falls thats why. and im not sorry...i love my son. and ive almost lost him once...

i refuse to let anything get in the way of him livng a healthy life again....i know, if i lost kaevyan. i would cease to exsist, because with out my kaevyan i am NOTHING...

Can You hear yourselves???

ok, some of you girls need to hear this lol

"ok you guys all really have serious probs lol. i breastfeed only with my almost 1 yr old son, and so no i NEVER go out without him. now some of you guys are really dumb. it is ok for moms to go out. not all the time but maybe once a week or every two weeks sure...no one is a bad mom cause they wanna get out. in the same sense no one is a bad mom or a good mom if they stay in 24/7 with their kid. being a good mom should be determined with how you RAISE your child. if you think you are doing the best as you can its no one elses business what your doing. now we all can make judgments about it but its not our life so stop trying to change others lives. there is no need for that shit. when it comes to getting a job no one can decide whe yur ready to leave your kid and do that except you. now its safe to say ALL of us need to grow up to an extent, (i mean hello we are argueing opinions on this girls status!!!! so lets just get over ourselves k? i mean you dont like the way someone parents their child then go hve your own children and teach them the way you want it done. :D"

the way i see it, its not up to me to tell you what kinda job your doing. parenting is a job in itself. i say do the best you can and then screw what people say, cuz at the end of the day. people...are just people
