As I sit here contemplating exactly how to start this first blog, I am listening to and watching my amazing child squat in the floor by his Daddy's favorite chair ... taking a poop. Why can I reveal such intimate (and gross) details here? Because we are all Mothers! Pooping is a prominent part of our daily lives. Holla if ya hear me!!!!! ;) Well, I'll give him a minute before I clean that up, LOL.
First things first. If you don't know me, my name is Ashton West. I turned 24 on July 26th ... I am one credit hour away from being a Senior at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin with intentions of graduating as a Certified Elementary School Teacher on or before December 2011. I am currently unemployed while I finish my degree and stay home with my perfect and wonderful son Jaxson, who turned one-year-old on July 15th. I have had the joy, pleasure, and privledge of staying home with him (short of attending classes for a few hours a week) since he was born. [PAUSE ... that stinker is starting to stink up the whole living room ... ]
Aaaaaand, five minutes later, we're clean again. So, as I was saying ... I stay-at-home with Jaxson instead of working thanks in NO small part to my wonderful Husband Robert. We have been married for two years this past June. We have definitely had more than our fair share of ups-and-downs during the past nine years of our on-again-off-again relationship, but I can honestly say that I love him more now than I did as a love-struck 15-year-old high school sophomore ... something many people are never lucky enough to experience.
Well, it looks like this first blog is going to be much shorter than I had originally planned -- Jaxson is going through that phase where he wants Mommy's undivided attention 23 1/2 hours out of a 24 hour day ... it's very flattering and kind of amusing when he's pushing me around the kitchen just so I'll pick him up, or when he starts whining the moment I walk away from him or head in the opposite direction ... oh, the life of Mother.
More later!
..xoxo..
