Its Okay!

Seriously I dont know how everyone thinks moms should be; Mother Theresea, Mother of the Year, One Hot Mama and everything else all at the same time. Strive as I may I will NEVER be One Hot MaMa again mainly because I have had two children. Oh yea I can rock a pair of jeans if I worked out but my stomach and breast are ruined, because I got "too big" while pregnant and I breastfed for "too long & not enough on each side". My husband still enjoys me in every way, and loves that I have given him two beautiful children. I hate how all these moms are on pinterest, at the gym, and scolding themselves for the nasty thoughts they have or the bad words they may have said. Honestly if your children are happy, your significant other is happy and you are happy with yourself then who the hell cares what any one else thinks. Even as I say this, in my head Im screaming I do!!! I care what others think I want them to see me as an awesome mom, I want my husband to get turned on the second I walk into the room, and I want to set a saint like example for everyone around me. But if Im honest with myself Im a smart ass, some times lazy, too busy to put on makeup, chasing kids around kind of woman. I dont have the time to be a saint, sign up for awards or even put on some toxic stuff that's just going to make me look worse in the end. Try as I may I will never be how society wants me to be, but guess what THATS OKAY! I want you to tell yourself, " its okay to just be me and try to be the best i can be to my own standards." If you are happy with you, honestly, then why strive to be something or someone, something or someone else wants you to be? Im trying so hard to be the best mother I can be and I get down on myself when I see another mother being better than me. I have to remind myself she's have a mother of year award, Moment. They dont last for forever but we must cherish them and bask in their glow as well as stand proud for those moms that are trying hard to have them. There are sooo many "mothers and fathers" acting the part one second and out partying the next, that dont even care about their children. So kudos to you for getting out of bed and fixing breakfast before having your coffee, and then drinking it cold. Kudos to you for wearing your yoga pants and your baggy shirt, and your "mom pony tail." It shows you are willing to sacrifice everything for others above and before yourself, and that is beautiful and incredibly sexy and very saint like! Good job!

Go Go Mommy Gadget

I never realized mornings with just one child awake usually start out a lot better for me than when they are both awake. Even when I start my mornings with a show from scout or cat in the hat and a cup of coffee, its better than having to run around and quickly get breakfast for my chirping babies. I should just wake up earlier, but that would mean going to bed earlier and that just cant happen, my body doesn’t start to shut down till after 12. As I sit here listening to my kids tv show I feel guilty hes starting his day off with donuts and tv, but why should I feel that way. When I was a kid it was perfectly normal and good to wake up with cartoons and a bowl of cereal. Ive decided I hate society, its standards on everything and everyone are WAY too high, and you get nothing back except more criticism and competition. I watched a show of HOUSE the other night of a mom who was stealing her kid’s medicine and everyone was in shock. I knew it right from the start how the hell else is she going to be a business owner, soccer coach, always at functions for her one child, trying to have another child, cleaning, cooking etc, etc. I think people think moms run off of the sun or taking care of children is super easy. My sons show dragon tales had me cracking up! It was a show of the dragons and max and emmy (yes I know all their names) helping to take care of two babies and the seven of them were completely pooped after 30 minutes. I stood there with my mop and baby on my hip like psshh that’s nothing. My point is people demand too much of someone who is already demanding too much of themselves. I always have to remind myself to not put so much emphasis on what other people wont notice and put all my effort into what some little ones will. I mopped the floors of my mother in laws house and NO ONE noticed, needless to say I was upset. But then my son says, “mommy loves me” and my heart melt because I got frustrated with him for stepping on my wet floors, when I should have just let him bring dirt in and have a party. So give yourself a break and tell the dust bunnies to shut the hell up because your singing the apples and bananas song with your kids like you would at your favorite concert. Even as I write this I have to remind myself to chill out, because the dishes are nagging at me and all the stuff we have moved into my m-i-l’s house is screaming at me to be put away. I just want to scream back "leave me alone and go nag my husband "(lol) as I sit down and read Dr. Seuss or do school house (home school) with my three year old. So sorry dishes your time can wait clutter yes you make me shudder but Im not the only one who put you there, Im off to get my son another cookie, gasp! (Belvita)

Welcome to my blog!

Im wracking my brains trying to figure out how to make my blog different from others so you will want to read it, but then I realized I dont need tomake it different, it already it. My blog is different because I am different than other moms and so are my kids. I am a mother of two beautiful children and a wife to a wonderful tech savy husband. I have a three year old son who i will dub Monkey and my now 1 yr old little girl I will nick name mischief. I am not your balls to the wall crunchy mom or a very social all about myself mom either. I am trying to do preschool at home with my three year old who is LOVING it, but that is for another post. Within my blog you will find anything and everything, I enjoy writing and posting all kinds of stuff on facebook, or here. I am a proud mommy and Im not afraid to show it, even if it annoys others. Dont worry Im not competitive I cheer and encourage other parents and kids too. For now my blog will be about living with your in laws while having children, I expect it to be a fun toe stepping hair pulling, bonding experience. But I know its for the best for us even if it can be a little hard to breath at times. Any suggestions on that would be great! I enjoy crocheting, reading, writing, gardening, finding new ways to do anything and everything better, more natural, and faster. Well I think thats it for my first post I need to find a new layout so Im off to do that while I wait for the last minute to do my school work. :) Good night yall. - Amandia
