Trina Is Crazy x 3

TRINA IS CRAZY!!
This shall forever be my epitaph for this particular human experience. Whether it has been for a few hours, a few months or a few decades, it has been the accurate and most common way to describe the good, bad and ugly way in which I deal with this thing called life so far. Especially, once you add to it that I am a Single Mom of 3 beautiful children, they're 11, 8 and 7 months, I must be crazy! 
This is the part where most people bring the conversation to a screeching halt or they try to carry on but their face is twisting with questions until finally they come out with the 2 most common questions: 
1. Are You Crazy? Yes, I am. That's why I always lead with it because that's half the fun of being me.
In this day and age, having more than 2 children and being single is sometimes seen as a fit of insanity, a cry for help...a one way ticket to hell because you will never get your life back. 
2. How Do You Do It!? Always in 3's. Apparently, the universe has thought it well and quite funny at times to shape my life into 3 but I am just now finding out about it. 
*cue angels singing* 
And so The Trinity Life was born and I will answer how I do it and why I now randomly sing "Threee...Thats The Magic Number..."

Of course, I have decided on Wednesday's, the 3rd day of the work week, which also happens to be the day I was born, to answer the question I hear at least 5x a day. How Do You Do It?! There will be fun, depth and craziness but I will also bring some help, order and light to parents, especially single moms, who have decided to have more than one heartbeat living outside their bodies (and driving us crazy). It is not impossible to be an awesome single parent, but I will share how what I call my Trinity Life always makes it look crazy, easy.
Welcome! Stay Ready!
-Trina

Good Grass & Green Eyed Monsters

I have encountered quite a few green eyed monsters lately that don't undertand I have the same free will they do. The only difference is what we decide to do with it. Still, so many think the grass is greener on the other side but in reality, its just greener where I watered it. Life is the lawn but the water is sacrifice, hard work and taking full responsibility for that life. My "lawn" is getting better but there's still quite a few patches that need some tlc. The parts that are lush and green are great but there shouldn't be much envy or jealousy if people use their free will wisely. I've been told I'm so lucky I don't have bad children. Its almost like the idea is bad behavior is a standard feature of children. I prefer to say I'm blessed, no doubt. The reason they aren't Bebe's kids is because I sacrifice and make a serious conscious effort to pour all my love, knowledge and attention into them. Like most parents, I've also d...

Its Lit!!

I am always teaching, always building my children's world, every day whether I know it or not and even when I forget. They understand that home is wherever we are together, its how we do things together, its what we do for each other. Our life is modest but we have so much love and lots of fun. If you see me, you see them. But I have been so caught up in building their material and emotional world, I almost forgot to keep giving them light. Children are bright in their own right but if its not nurtured theres a chance their light might get dim. If that happens, sometimes children are unable distinguish between artificial or other people's light and their own. Thats when they might start following the wrong crowd, mimicking behavoirs or trying to be like a celebrity. Its bound to happen, its part of growing up but too much of that can make them lose their way. Until a certain time, even the brightest children need a source of light not just to guide them but to keep them lit. ...
