Tis the season, for the nasty, grimy toddler germs to be spread like wildfire. My poor little man has been battling a nasty cold for over 2 weeks. So naturally, I take him to the pediatricians office. God love my pediatrician, but YIKES!! I think during this season, we should all be in bubble wrap before we step through the door. I swear I cleaned off about 90 boogers, 20 coughs, and probably a fruit snack or too.
Anyways, turns out Connor has a bacterial infection and got antibiotics. Fingers crossed we both get some sleep tonight!!
oh yea, I forgot to tell you...I GET A MOMS NIGHT OFF tomorrow! Hell ya!

Onset bipolar Ones
First off, let me say I'm sorry for disappearing for so long. My son chucked my laptop like it was a generic brand toy! I got a new laptop and I'm ready to go baby!!
Okay, so over the last few weeks, I have noticed that Connors attitude has become a little more than I can handle. Wait a tick, the kid isn't even two yet! Doesn't the bad attitude start around that age? Terrible Twos right? WRONG!! I have decided to finally diagnose these terrible attitude to "Onset bipolar Ones"
"Onset bipolar Ones" What's that you ask? Well, it describes the gremlin personality my little man shows when I say the word No, or take away something he shouldn't be playing with. Then he can all of sudden, come up to me and give me a hug and a kiss and start playing by himself peacefully all over again. Bipolar I say!! Bi-freakin-polar!
There, for all you mothers out there who need a diagnoses to explain why your one yr old is acting this way! I found that the best coping strategies is to tell yourself your child will cure aids or breast cancer one day. It makes that tantrum a little easier to deal with.
Sincerely,
just plain ole maxed out mama

Beautiful Babies
My latest addiction binge , aka Target, resulted in this conversation:
Lady waiting in the checkout line: Hello baby!
Looks at me: What ethnicity are you?
Me: Mexican
Lady: OHHH!! your people make such beautiful babies, look at this little guy!
Seriously, my people? Interesting. Lady, I promise I did not just hop over the boarder yesterday. Also, while I'm at it, is what you said even politically correct anymore? I think not. But thanks for the compliment, he is devilishly handsome.
Ever since I've had my sweet cheeks Connor, I get such sweet, awkward, impolite statements ever. People will never cease to amaze me. What nutty things have people said to you or your babies?
Sincerely,
maxed out Mexican, mama
above is a picture of Connor and all his mommy's mexicaness haha

Mom Purse
Look in your purse right now. Not your designer purse, the one you actually carry around every where with you. What's in there? I bet it looks a lot different from pre-baby purse. Here's a breakdown of mine
Pre-Baby
1) Cell phone
2) Wallet
3) Tampons
4) Lip Glosss
Post-baby
1) Cell phone with mucky screen from sticky baby fingers
2) Wallet
3) Tampons ripped out of the wrapper because Connor found them interesting on the car ride to Grandmas
4) Lip Gloss with cap missing
5) 5 half eaten animal crackers
6) a toy car
7) boogie wipes, for me not toddler ( i fell in love with those bad boys )
what's in your purse?
Sincerely,
purse is maxed out, mama
My purse may be a disaster, but I love that every where I go, I have a little piece of Connor.

I heard Elmo has a room for rent..
I heard Elmo has a room for rent, and he wants his rent to be paid in live goldfish and crayons.
After watching a minimum of 3 toddler friendly shows a day, I've come to the conclusion I wish I could be turned into a furry, red pubescent 'it'. Sure, you may have to back talk a shade who refuses to open on your demand, or live around two homosexual men who refuse to admit they are in a relationship, but shit, that Elmo has it made! That millionaire ginger gets to eat, play and enjoy life at no cost' or if anything the currency is gum balls. That lucky bastard.
While I'm at it. I want to live in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse world too. Why? Because Minnie can all the homemade banana nut bread she wants, and that dress still fits her! I think that rule could apply to me, Lord knows I need it to! Mickey pays for gas in gum balls in a recent episode. That's nice, I'm glad Mickey and the gang aren't getting hit by the recession. I might be wrong, the price could have gone up to 3 gum balls a gallon versus one gum ball. Don't even get me started on Toodles. I want my own damn floating mickey shaped head to give me four options to every life challenge, for example:
My husband wants sex, I don't..
OHHHHH TOODLES...
1) A headache
2) Your Aunt Flow
3) The baby started crying
4) The mystery mouse-ka-tool
Oh Toodles, I think I will go with a headache! Whew, thank heavens for that toodles.
Last but not least, Special Agent Oso. Creepy stuffed-not-very-smart-bear. Enough said.
What tv shows just really bug you? Im intrested to find out!
Sincerly,
Maxed out of unrealistic toddler shows, but secretly still like them, mama : )

Up all night
"Yeah, because raising a human is no work at all..."
Alright chicas, if you haven't watched it yet, tune into "Up all Night" on NBC. Every 2 minutes, I was relating to something those two crazy once myself parents were going through. Lets recap, shall we? yes, yes we shall!
1) My ass is to fat
Besides the point that Christina Applegate still looks hot even after 'giving birth' I loved the fact she struggled to get her ass in that pre-baby pencil skirt. Shit, she doesn't have anything on me. I was still struggling to get into my belly band at 6 months post partum. Ya, I just admitted that.
2) Old School
When you're a new parent, you test the waters to see if you can still be as kickass with nightlife like you once were before. That first time Chad and I got to go out, I was in bed by 9pm. I couldn't hang. I tried. I failed. No way in hell was I going to even try what the parents in this show did. I had to literally 'LOL' when the dad was drinking in the club and yelled "My baby will be up in 2 hours' as he danced in the dance club with a drink in his hand. That's what I like to call DOOM.
Overall I was pretty pleased with this show. It shows how drastically your life will change once you have a baby. I would have liked it to be a little bit funnier, but I'll tune in again. Once you had your baby, what drastic change did you make in your lifestyle? Im curious to hear.

Caught ya!
Have any of you ever had disagreements with your spouses about feeding your children certain foods? No? Oh that's a damn shame. It's a wonderful way to spend my valuable time...NOT!
I get my husband wants to 'bond' with Connor, so he thinks it's always fun to snack with him. Well, not when it's my husbands food preferences. My husband could survive off pizza, chips, Mcdonalds, and just junk food. Which is not so great for his health ( he better have some damn good life insurance!) Anyways...we were at my in-laws the other day and I noticed my husband, Connor and my niece all sitting around the candy jar. I made sure to ask if he gave Connor any of the M&Ms in the jar, because the last thing I need is a toddler who gets an upset tummy and chocolate all over his clothes. Here's how our conversation went....
Me: Hey, what are you doing? You didn't give him any did you?
Husband: Ummmm.....noooooo? (long and paused out like he got caught red handed)
4 year old niece: hahahah, unckey chad....
Yep, I knew he did it. No big deal, but at least tell me! It was a running joke all weekend that he didn't and wouldn't give our 16 month old M&ms. Wellllllllllll guess what I found this morning? That's right, a poopy diaper with a little brown circle with a white M&M labeled on it...Caught ya! What did I do? Took a picture of the nasty piece of poo and texted it to my husband. Tisk Tisk! C'mon silly men, lies are for rugs!
