How many times have your kids asked these questions?  How many times has The Husband said where's mom or go ask your mother???? LOL

Love being a mom - Mrs. P

Allies

Sometimes we just need allies.  The world requires us to be politically correct and leaves little room for error.  Sometimes we just need to be able to talk with no filter.  We are all part of this crazy, chaotic, weird, wonderful world of parenting and we need to engage with those that are just as quirky as us.  It boils down to this: we need each other.  We need to feel connected.  We need to know that we are not crazy, that there are others that discipline their kids, and that it's okay that we don't stand in the kitchen with our hair and nails perfectly done holding a fresh baked apple pie in each hand.  

To all of us our children are perfect no matter what their flaws.  I love my children.  Our daughter was diagnosed with anxiety a little less than a year ago.  I have fought a courageous battle since she was just two years old.  There were not a lot of options for her being so young.  I researched and researched and finally was able to find an institution that would see her.  I will go into this in a later blog, but my point is that I could have used a support system of other moms who had experienced some of these same issues.  At that time I had no one.  This is why we need allies. 

Every morning we just have to wake up and continue to be awesome.  We drag ourselves out of a restful sleep, drag our arms beside us until we reach the counter.  At the glorious counter is the coffee pot.  We tired-eyed reach up four our mug and fill it with an amazing brown substance and in a split second we transform into a woman with a cape and a superpowers.  We suddenly in a matter of minutes have breakfasts and lunches made, clothes are folded and put away and we are in the car, coffee mug in hand, driving the little's to school.  

We are a close knit family.  Moms know moms and there is a certain understanding that we can come together at any time for support.  We need allies.  We need each other.

Until next time - Mrs. P

Because I Said So!

How many times have we said this?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yes, we have all said these exact words.  Our moms said this to us.  These famous words will continue on from generation to generation and all the while our children will be rolling their eyes....

until next time-Mrs. P

Meet & Greet

There is me...Mom and Superwife (wink wink).  Then there is The Husband (equally awesome).  Little 1 (who I will lovingly refer to as L1-above) is 4 years old and Little 2 (L2-below) is 7 months old.  Little 3 (L3) will hopefully be mobilizing soon!  Our superpowers have united so we will see what happens.  Last but not least are Milli (the craziest puppy ever) and Batman (the poor 18 pound cat).

The odds are evenly played in our house. 3 girls and 3 boys if you include the pets.  Nonetheless, equal at the present time.  I am hoping that with L3 the girls will end with a win!  

I have been racking my brain trying to think of everything I wanted to start with but of course only come up with fabulous ideas while driving or showering or riding my bike none of which where I have a pen handy and can write down my thoughts.  Suddenly, when I remember that I hold a rectangular electronic device that will remember these thoughts for me I have already been sidetracked and lost the thought that was once awesome. 

It happened again.  I lost my train of thought.  L1 should be home from school any minute.  I have to be ready to hear about howtoday she did not push anyone or kick sand.  She will also tell me that Jacob is her boyfriend and that Christopher said he was going to pee on Landon.  Every day is an adventure with L1.  L2 is going to need me at the exact same time so I should probably go for now.  

I hope you can keep up....Until next time...
