Welcome to the crazy life of Momboss
Hey ya’ll! Thanks for taking the time to visit my story! I am a mother to two little boys who are 9 and 11 so we’re hitting those attitude ages! I have a bf I’m madly in love with. We are currently looking for a new place to call home. It’s been exhausting searching for a new home. We’ve been together for a year and 3 months almost. We have been through he** with each other. If you come back and read my daily stories about my crazy life and how I should have died twice but the Lord saved me. I’m here to tell my story. Let’s say we’ve been to three funerals within a year. That seems like bad luck. Then we’ve both had serious surgeries this year. Those are crazy stories I will soon tell! Sneak bit.... firey car crash and a broken penis. Yeah! Crazy life like I said!

Kids-why you won’t sleep much for a few years
It was the dark of night and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse… Then you hear a whisper, ‘mamma. Mamma.’ you close your eyes tight and hope it will pass. It doesn’t. You glance at the alarm clock to see if it’s worth climbing back into bed afterwards. It’s 4:30 am.

Thanksgiving? No Thanks
Family, friends and acquaintances convene every year on the fourth Thursday in November dressed in their Sunday best. They gather around a dining table–or the living room television–to commit the cardinal sin of gluttony while watching football or a televised parade. They prepare and indulge in an elaborate feast, all while sipping on wine and beer, bantering about this year's football season, bickering about politics and intruding in personal matters like your cousin's dalliances and your brother's weight gain. Thanksgiving, almost single-handedly, kicks off a nearly two-month period of utter commercialism, consumerism and blatant debauchery normalized by the vast participation of all of us and mere tradition.

When the World Changed
You know that moment when you're terrified and excited all at the same time? Being fifteen is hard enough and although I had daydreamed of this moment many times before, the moment those two little lines popped up on that little plastic stick it was like a punch in the gut. I had known something was wrong when I felt so nauseous for weeks and could never get enough sleep, but now I knew why. Now I had to tell someone, but how? I couldn't disappoint my family like that. Maybe they won't notice. I decide to go about my life as usual and maybe I'll figure something out eventually.

13 Years Apart
Before I begin the story of my brother and his unexpected tragic departure from our world to the next, I'll start with how he came into this world. I with 13 years old when my baby brother was born of course like all children who are the only child in there parents lives the announcement that soon a baby will be arriving along with the news" your going to be a older brother", is told to you frequently and seeing that the family is so imbued into all the excitement that comes with expecting, is not conceivable to the young mind at least not fully, so of course jealousy and certain new feelings come about that you have to learn how to deal with, start to sink in and then of course the time comes for the baby's arrival which when Jared Hart did come I was very scared very protective very different than I thought I would be . My mother, Nancy Badar, was so happy and so to was my stepdad, Phillip Hart. (As this was his first born son and first ever boy in the family or at least on the "hart" side of the family) Having a new born baby in the house was definitely something to get used too. But of course over time I did!

Three Weeks In
I’m nearly three weeks into fatherhood and I have been covered in puke, pee, and poop almost daily. Not necessarily all three in a day, but I have had the hat-trick twice now. The three P’s all have their own stinky or sticky attributes that make them special, and equally difficult to remove from my human skin and clothing. If anybody else threw up on me as much as Elsee does, I’d be like, “Hey, bro. Don’t throw up on me that much.”

You Are The Heart
You danced in the moonlight, feeling the music run through you. The lake party outside was filled with lights strewn in the trees nearby. It was a chilly night, but one wouldn't know it with all the movements and chatter. You smiled seeing your best friends enjoy themselves. There was Scott Parker and Violet Daige talking and eating under the big tree. Joy Taylor had a drink in her hand and mingled with Brett Kingsley. You could tell she was more interested in her drink. And the way she kept tossing her head at you to come over, but you couldn't be bothered. Brett was a good guy just timid and shy. Long tables covered in white cloth, set with a feast, and light runners. Torches burned at the party entrance. Shadows and lights flickered and retreated as late arrivals showed themselves in.

Morning of Hell.
Have you ever had one of those mornings, were you just want to say hell no? Well today was one of those for me. First off let me inform you that I suffer from insomnia. However managed to go to bed about one am this morning. Then my dreaded alarm goes off about five fifty this morning signaling that I have to get my daughter up for school. So I do the normal thing and roll over to dismiss the alarm and bam hit my head on the corner of my night stand. Talk about seeing stars. Now after a few minutes of nursing that ouch, it dawns on me that my throat is dry and scratchy.

Pirate Days
Kids are very curious by nature. With some kids, it is very obvious, as it can be hard to get them to slow down long enough to see the real world. They can’t help but to engage and explore the world around them. For others its harder to see the curiosity, as even the calmest of personalities can feel mysterious on occasion. It’s harder to see with them because it can be easy to forget they are there, as they are often so still and easily get overlooked. They spend so much of their time in the books, and yet, even if they are not going very far physically, their imaginations take them on the most amazing adventures instead. The adventures can sometimes be so magnificent and amazing. They can get so lost in amazement and curiosity that their dreams sometimes just bust through the seams and they find themselves dragging the nearest playmates along with them, into their fantasy worlds. It often seems that the perfect combination, would be to have at least one of each in a play group, as to encompass the best of both versions of curiosity and engagement into each adventure. A classic example of the book-ish type of adventurer, was a young girl named Sarah.

Being a first time mum with mental health
Being a First Time Mum and Mental health STOP. This is a safe place for you to stop for a minute and read. The words mental health are scary to admit and no one really likes to say they struggle with this but so many people do and I think it's a subject we all need to talk about more in a positive not a negative way.
