These past few hours have been full of tantrums and I should thank my little drama queens and myself for that. It is impossible to deal with major drama queen at the moment when all this "drama" is taking place. She hears no reasons. She thinks it has to be her way! I must confess that when we have these moments I feel like locking myself in a closet. Too much goes on at once and I get overwhelmed and a little frustrated. Welcome to motherhood, Stefani!
I had a few of these moments earlier today. Velani has been known to not eat enough or none at all, but for the past month or so it has been the total opposite. This is actually good, only to some extent. Due to her diabetes, she is suppose to eat a certain amount of carbs for her meals. Lately, she has been wanting to eat in between meals and snacks. She had just finished her breakfast and 30 min. later she was asking for an icecream pop (sugarless of course!) and I had to say no. I told her she needed to wait for her snack time. She refused to give in so quickly and started begging, yelling and crying. During all of that begging, yelling and crying, Mia was also getting fussy, due to a late night adventure, and I started my own tantrum, as well.
I began to feel overwhelmed! I didn't get enough sleep. Remember Mia's late night adventure? this is how it went: Mia woke up when Velani went down, but this time she stayed up! She thought it was time to play and get her vocal cords going again. She began to coo and do that cute yelling she does, only this time I seriously didn't think it was that cute anymore. I ended going to bed until 2 am! and just when I thought I was falling a sleep I heard Mia again, Jahvel was also up and Velani followed. I couldn't believe it. Was it really time to wake up? How was that possible? had 5 hours already gone by? sure did. So just to sum it up, I am not in a very patient mood today, but don't worry because that won't stop my little drama queen and her little accomplice!

Hang in there Stef, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to be patient and understanding with my two little angels. I'll keep praying for you and all the moms in the world that wake up at 2AM to feed, change diaper, cuddle or otherwise comfort a little one. You are my hero.
I think Mia & Josie's theme song should be, 1999 by Prince...
Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1999...alright, say it one more time... tonight I'm going to party like it's 1999!!!
I've never had a drama queen but my friend Amber has one and I know how difficult it can be sometimes. She loves to say, "I asked God for patience but I guess I should have been more specific!"
Praying that all this will soon pass!
