The Life I Chose to live

   Well I guess Damian starting school this year turned out to be a good thing because at 7 a.m. we discovered something great.      Yup, yet another child from the Price bloodline. Brandi is pregnant. Now it's just a waiting game to find out if we are having a Jordyn Reign or an Andrew Scott.

     My baby boy... But I guess he isn't much of a baby anymore. As of today he is officially a preschooler. Today I finished up his enrollment paperwork. I can't believe that time has passed so quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was teaching him to walk and talk. But I guess I can't keep him that small forever. Luckily I was blessed enough to be able to watch him grow every bit of the way.    I know he is ready for this next step in life. So I guess that means that I've done my job as his mother, but I am far from ready to see him walk out the door for his first day of school. I guess somewhere in my brain I thought that I could keep him as a baby for the rest of my days. But he proves to me every day that he is ready to grow up. He has become so independent. He rarely needs my help for anything. How did I not see this day coming?     My baby boy... what am I supposed to do when you are away at school? Who is supposed to keep me busy and mak...

     Well for starters, Brandi and I joined the gym. Planet fitness was running a special, so we joined. Black card of course. We have made a plan and we are sticking to it. Two times a day, three days a week. For a total of 6 one hour workouts. We are also eliminating quite a bit of the junk foods that we put in the house. That goes for the kids as well. And we have decided that we will only have one splurge on eating out a week. This will either be on a Friday or Saturday night. But physical fitness is just one of the goals being applied in this household.      It's time we start focusing on mental health as well. Lately the true DeLaney has been showing. And don't get me wrong, it's actually a good thing that her true colors are showing vs. the show she has put on for the last 3 months. Now I know what help she actually needs. So I have started setting up appointment with doctors, psychiatrist, and therapist. I just wish she would have talked about ...

   I've been through a lot in my life time. Most things people would be terrified to live through. But tonight my heart leapt straight out of my chest and straight into panic. My little corner of the world is going through some major storms right now. And when I say storms, I'm talking winds reaching 100 miles an hour, hail the size of soft balls and larger, flash flood warnings, thunderstorms, but worst of all tornadoes. Luckily we are safe and sound only receiving the lesser of all of that.    With already hearing of 2 tornado touch downs and seeing pictures of what some of the larger hail had caused, well... I was on edge to say the least. Then watching the weather and seeing that the storm was gathering more power and inching its way towards my family in Bowie, I was more or less on the edge of my seat. But then I got a terrifying phone call from Joey stating that a tornado had completely wiped out the town. Thankfully his sources weren't true. But of course my ...

   It's so hard to believe that we are already over half way through May. Like really? Where has time went? It does not feel like two weeks has passed since I last blogged. But I guess it has. But on the plus side, I have so much to share.    As you all know I bought a new car. Well I also decided to sell my Ford. I just have no use for it now that Brandi has a car of her own again. And might I add... she loves it. Which she has every right to it is a gorgeous car. It suits her look. I've got to show off a bit.. so take a look for yourself.        I have plans to buy her the seat covers I found which are perfect for her and her style.       Other than that, there have just been a lot of changes going on in the house and with ourselves. I finally broke Brandi and got her to enjoy some of the better things in life. She has found her somewhat  prissy side. I never thought the day would come that she would allow me to start...

   Today , thanks to Joey and Brandi, I got my new car. Brandi even got me matching seat covers and a steering wheel cover for it.   As for questions.. Yes I do still have my Ford Focus, but I'm not much of a Ford person. And I realized that I didn't really need a wagon. So why fix something up to perfection when I didn't really like it all that much?    After getting my car today, I jumped right on getting it on the insurance. And then Brandi and I went on a little cruise. We went down to Bowie to pick up Damian and brought him back home and then made a trip to see Brandi's sister that lives out of town.    The car runs like a dream. Needless to say.. I love my new car. Now just to go buy my scent to put in it.

   OMG!!! I am so over this quarantine crap. I'm going on week 6 of being trapped in this house with 5 kids and no way to escape. Someone please rescue us. I understand that everything is starting to open back up.. But no school? Really? You can't give me some sort of break after me having to play teacher and mom for nearly a semester of school? I'm losing my mind and my voice.      Kids don't want to do their school work. They don't know how to play quietly. And if I want my house clean, I have to pretty much clean 24/7 because just as soon as I get one room clean they have destroyed another. Where does this end? I am drained. I feel like I need a week of sleep and relaxation. Can I self quarantine to my room.. lock all the doors and windows and refuse to leave?      Okay... maybe I am exaggerating some.. but that doesn't mean that I'm not exhausted. I very well am. I've reached that point where all it takes is one wrong look or one ...
