Entry#6: Motherhood at its finest

-
Hey guys welcome back, I just want to shine some light on Motherhood for a moment. JJ (Justin Jr)is my now 1 and a half year old son. As he gets older, I'm starting to see he is acting more and more like me. If someone had told me that I would have a miniature me walking around, i'd totally laugh and say "yea right". Before I had him, I was selfish and stubborn granted I'm still stubborn but the selfishness had to go out the window. Being that I am the baby of the family, I never really had a chance to care for someone younger let alone a baby. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was like any other young mother, scared as hell. I think the only thing that really terrified me was the delivery part. For the entire ten months of being pregnant, I did some real soul searching and put my selfishness aside and started really focusing on being a mother. Of course, I googled and asked close friends and family what to do in certain situations because to me being a mom you had to be perfect and know what to do at all times. It wasn't until after JJ that I realized it was okay to not know every answer or know what to do when things got complicated.He was born on April 9, 2016, the day that changed my life forever. JJ waited the whole forty weeks to come out and he was eight pounds and three ounces, he was twenty-one and a quarter inches long. My family was back in Chicago, so I basically had to wing it until I went back home and my mom taught me how to take care of him without putting to much on myself. I watched every milestone and accomplishment and I cried every time. Just to think I had to do everything for him and now he's just a busy body and doesn't want my help.The feeling of someone loving you unconditionally is everything. I' m more than blessed to have a son as smart and funny as mine.  Everyday is not the same, some days are more challenging than others but would I trade them.. Heck no, I love being a Mom!

    Taconna--You have some good ideas and topics in your new entries. You have some good development, but you have room to keep analyzing and connecting to your audience. Keep working to use the concepts of rhetoric--what is your purpose and who is your audience?

Entry#4: Saving some time for yourself.

Hey guys, between working, taking care of your kid(s), and school, do you ever have a day where it's devoted just for you? Personally I devoted every other Friday which is what I call " Mommy Day". Being that everyday I am a mom and motherhood calls 24/8, It can be challenging but doing this helps give me the pick me up that I need. Mommy day can be me being in the house in my pj's and catching up on my shows or  treating myself to a manicure and pedicure. The reason why its every other Friday because normally when its not mommy day, I spend it with my son and we go out and enjoy each others company. Everyone should have a day or even a minute where they can collect their thoughts or take a break from the struggles of life. I find that giving myself some "Me" time, I'm more energized, positive, and I feel like I can conquer anything the next week throws at me. When I didn't save time for myself, I would stress, be depressed and feel like I wasn...

  Hey guys, this week I will be talking about my transition from week one to now the last week of English 102.   Looking back on week one to now week 14, I've noticed a big transition within myself.  For it to be my second time around blogging, I must admit this experience can never get old. I find myself wanting to blog on blogger more than be on social media. On blogger, I feel more free and open to talk about my personal life experiences and my opinions on certain topics. Recently I've been more free and open about certain situations I never once was open to talk about. During week one of this class, I was nervous to even speak in front of a large group of people, now majority of my talking is done in front of twelve to twenty-five people max. Writing long essays has never really been my thing until I been in this class. My professor showed me how to use the rhetorical triangle properly in my essays. The rhetorical triangle is a triangle broken up into three appea...
