Whos my daddy?

This year has been very interesting. For those who know the whole drama to your mama story about me will understand this post.
We are at the store and one of my changitos yells
Mom you can marry him so the whole store can hear
Or a friend comes to visit and they jump all over the dude.
But this last sunday was the real surprise when one of my changitos turned to me and said,
"Mom, I want him to be my dad". I almost started to cry but decided to hold the tears in since it wasn't testimony day and I technically wasn't hearing a sad story. I looked over to my changito and looked up to the fellow who was sitting right by us and whispered He can't be your dad I don't even know him. Since that day I have been thinking what it is like to feel wanted by someone so bad, that almost any stranger would do. Oh to have a dad. The memories that i can recollect are very blurry, and although i to was small just as my changitos are now. Looking back i now see the impacted that my own father had in my life, and how their father has impacted their life. This experience has taught me to love them even more. I would not and cannot change the outcome of what has happened or even replace what has dissappered but to try to understand that their feelings are real and that they are just as valid as everyone else out there.

So if you have a dad be kind love that father.
If your married and have a father for your children love him and look at the best qualities that he has kindly shared to the family.
We never know when or what impact our fathers, husbands or baby daddy's will have in our childrens lives so lets take care of them the best we can. There are to many fathers who are not seeing the need of being a parent or even caring to what happens to their children and are off looking for lost love in places they should have never been in the first place.

much love

The Missing Changito

Have you ever put one of your kids to bed at night, and in the morning when you go and check on your sweet innocent child they are no longer in their bed. So you figure that they are watching cartoons in the living rom right, or at least somewhere in the house. Before you know it the first game of the day has started, and the search is on.
The next thing you know you are looking all over the house calling their name. CHANGITO! CHANGITO! WHERE ARE YOU? I am not playing come out this minute. You start to breathe heavy. What if they went outside? What if the worst has happened? And then just when your about to call for reinforcements. A phone call.

Me: Hello

Phone: Hi, I just

Not letting a word in I say Me: Do you know where my changito is?
Phone: Jajajajajajaja you mean your dad didn't tell you.
Me: Tell me what. I didn't see him this morning.
Phone: Your changito woke up early this morning as your dad was leaving for work, and your changito asked him when he was going to be able to go to work with him. Your Dad asked him if he had school and your Changito said No not today! So they both went to work.
Me: I had no idea I was searching all over looking for him.
Phone: Yeah I was about to tell you when I left this morning, and I couldn't remember why I was just standing there. Sorry!
Me: So my changito is with his grandpa
Phone: Yeah!



What a morning I couldn't believe it. My Changito was never missing. He was with his grandpa the whole time. Starting to breathe normal again I get my other 2 changitos ready for the day.

The End

So here is a bit of advice for all that live with family members. Before you go and run out of energy and oxygen, call all of your family that you live with, and see who went to work today.
