My Mom-ents & Mission I'm a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) of 2 young kids, happily married for a long loooong time, and a hopelessly sarcastic optimist in my early30 somethings. We are blessed...but oh so stressed. Everything around here is tight from the money to my stretched out pants. Most of my days are spent dreaming of goals I believe I will one day reach...just as soon as I get the kids unstuck to each other, the dog outside before barfing all over the kitchen floor, the laundry.......yeah. I'll get to my own stuff someday.
My single biggest battle has been trying to find a balance (if there is one), in the daily schedule known as life. How do I possibly do all the things I need to do, want to do, and should do? Every. Day. Over the years I've gone to a place physically that terrifies me every time I see my reflection in a mirror (good thing I don't get many opportunities to do so). I'm built so that I would never pull off less than a size 8 even at skin and bones. Yes I am big boned! I'm tall so I can carry it, but I've been junking up that trunk too full. My daily uniform is a t shirt, something with elastic in the waistband, and my hair twisted up in a clip. Add in fair skin and thick dark dark hair (unfortunately everywhere), oh and some multiplying gray hairs and skin tags, and voila! How does my husband keep his hands off me, right? But my eyes... my eyes are gorge lemme tell ya! I love all things organizing and planning (even though it mostly stresses me out), music, movies, and of coarse my beautiful family. Recently, I have come to appreciate crock pot meals, stretching, and putting on my headphones and diving into the music I've missed far too long. I've also developed an interest in pole fitness, fluidity,writing, epilating (more of a necessity), and forcing my goals onto the daily planner along with everyone else's needs. I've dealt with moderate OCD, anxiety and depression for most of my life, I would't wish it on anyone. But with the help of my family , some medicine, and a sense of humor...I manage. I mention this only because people are so ashamed to admit it or ask for help. I encourage anyone with these issues to get your crazy butt in gear and do something about it! This is a place we can all swap rants, jokes, and ideas that take a like minded person to understand....overwhelmed mommies that are hanging in there! No Judgements!!! We need inspiration, a place to vent, and a reminder that someone else's life sucks more than our own.
