I haven't blogged in a little over two years. It's surreal to be sitting here writing this blog instead of writing the usual email to the school or sharing the laptop with Haidyn for school. A lot has changed in two years. Looking at my last blog post with pictures of my family without masks is crazy!
Now, to give you an update on life lately.
Our family has grown by one ! ( No, I'm not pregnant and please stop asking when another one is coming. We don't have plans of having any more children. ) My little bundle of joy is Andre Gregory Wells- our pitbull mix pup. This little guy keeps us all on our toes . I didn't know we needed another dog until we saved Dre from the Rez. We scooped him up from my in laws backyard and the rest is history. Dre is a BIG dog. At six months old he's bigger than Frankie . His paws, his body and his appetite all bigger than Frankie. He will eat everything if you let him. He is the naughtiest little shit you will ever meet, but man he is the sweetest dog . Him and I do just about everything together . We have our own little morning and nightly routine while everyone else can't be bothered to join us.
Frankie if you were wondering is still the biggest Mama's boy you've ever seen but is trying to share me with everyone else for the most part. Dre and Frankie are attached at the hip for most of the day . Frankie finally has a buddy to play with during our lockdown at home. When we took Dre in , I didn't think that the boys would get along as well as they do but I'm glad that they do. They spend most of their days sleeping , rough housing and cornering Sassafras together. What are brothers for right ?
Sassafras is still alive. She will be 10 this year and has asked for privacy on any social media platform. I'm only kidding. Sass is a hermit and can't believe that I continue to bring home siblings. My once baby kitty no longer gives two shits about me because I don't stop the boys from harassing her daily. The feelings are mutual for the most part because the only person she truly cares about is Waymon.
The star of the family of course is Haidyn. Out of all my goofball kids, Haidyn is the biggest goofball. Our girl is now almost 7 years old and in the first grade. I can't believe that she is only going to be 7. She is wise beyond her years and the attitude is REAL. She spends most of her days learning all the new dances on youtube just to show the family . There isn't a day she isn't waking up everyone at home with her singing or drumming.
As for me, I'm now a WFH Mama , Haidyn's 1st grade teacher and an amateur baker of sourdough everything . Out of all things I could have added to my resume I LOL at the fact that I'm Haidyn's teacher. I am the worst teacher she has ever had . Haidyn on the other hand loves the fact that I juggle work and teach her everyday. My patience is thin most days and I don't know how I'm keeping all the days straight. Oddly enough, this is the motherhood I didn't know I wanted and needed . I'm grateful for my house full of clowns, including Waymon. The quarantine has brought our family closer together and is forcing me to get more and more creative .
