I remember years back, when Genesis my daughter was 3. She would throw fits at the super market. This particular time she literally held on to the end of the shopping cart and scream bloody murder. Nothing I did would calm her down. And my groceries were being bagged. People around me watched. Some even made remarks, " She's a spoiled brat!" Or " Her mom needs to spank her!" I was 24 years old. I was being judged, my child was be judged and I just remember feeling completely humiliated! As I got my bags in the cart struggling to calm my daughter and go to my car. A sweet elderly man came up to me and said, "May I push your cart to your car so you can comfort your daughter? I looked at him trying to hold back the tears, I said, " Yes please!" He pushed my cart, I got my daughter from the floor and started walking to my car. Tears were dripping down my face the whole way to my car and I was completely silent. He didn't judge me, he just showed compassion and offered his hand. I found out a year later my daughter had Autism which caused her to have meltdowns when she was overstimulated. The store was a big trigger for her. The lights, noise, and crowds were too much for her. To some people my daughter looked spoiled and I seemed like a bad mom. But they only saw one thing and didn't know everything. One isolated incident set me up to look as I was a bad mother. That was far from the truth! This taught me a very valuable lesson: Not to be so quick judge a person on one isolated incident and if I ever see another woman in need during a very difficult time, don't judge her , but offer my help. Just like that elderly man helped me. I have never forgotten him. He taught me so much in that one act of kindness, so now I want do the same. 😊

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
