Welcome to my blog. Before you enter into my world, which can be considered a frightening place to be, I should let you know that I wasn’t born with a mind like this. It took 30 something years to develop it into its current state of brilliance… A mind that can single-handedly think of so many things at once that it can even puzzle its owner. A mind that makes me want to run away from it sometimes. A mind that makes it hard to breathe at times or makes me hate myself.
Ok… That’s enough. Way too heavy for an introductory blog. Before you considering leaving this emo webpage, know this: most of the time, I am only saying what we are all thinking.
Stay awhile and get to know me a bit.
Let’s see… I am thirty something years old. I could lie and say I am 29 for the 3rd year in a row, but that’s not how I roll… I prefer to say 30 something. I am 5 feet tall. My small demeanor is not to be taken lightly, however; my husband lovingly calls me his Mafioso and the kids are scared of me. Crippling fear aside, my husband is my rock and I adore my 2 boys and they me (I hope). I am a very driven person and (** corny alert **) everyday I aim to be a better version of myself – for me, my husband, the boys, and the people that I love. I am both blessed and cursed with an extensive extended family that I cannot live without.
By now, if you are still reading, I am sure that you have come to realize that I like to make jokes and am incredibly funny. I am quite sarcastic, in fact to the point of cynical. I am a very “straight up” kinda gal… I don’t like lies or pretentious people, but I also don’t go out of my way to hurt people or let them know that I don’t like them (there’s a specific term used to describe women of this nature that I could have inserted here, but I don’t like the “b” word).
I am a career oriented mother of two active boys. I am a full time healthcare professional by day and a full time mom by night (or evening time). In the simplest sense, I am a glorified drug dealer. I tell my older son that mama helps people… Makes it easier for him to understand why I can’t stay home with him. I am also creatively inclined. However, because my life is often utter chaos, some of these creative endeavours are shelved, out of necessity.
In this blog, I hope to share with you some hilarious moments in my lives, captivating stories and the struggles that, let’s face it, we all have. By no means, is this an advice column or a life altering blog. It’s just me. Most likely, we will connect on various levels and you may learn what NOT to do. I will most likely monologue or rant… In fact I can promise that I will be doing so.
I will also describe the perils of parenting and how to maintain a work-life balance, or as I like to think of it, a sane-insane balance.
I will also share creative projects with you, because as I mentioned, I do not have an outlet. I love throwing birthday parties for my sons and making them unique from year to year. I come up with many ideas and then at the expense of others (poor husband, mother and mother in law), those ideas come to fruition. One day, I hope to have a house decorated like those on Pinterest. Currently, I dream of a house that doesn’t look like it imploded. When I make any changes to our home that are noteworthy, I will definitely share them.
The plan is to update my blog at least every couple of weeks. I could do it more often, but I think you may prefer juicier and interesting updates as opposed to fluffy fodder. Also, I plan. God laughs.
So here’s hoping that we will meet again in a few days!
