My New Blog

I've always wanted to be a housewife. Ever since I was little I knew in my heart that I was meant to be a stay at home mom. So it's no surprise that when it came time for college I had no strong ambition to study anything. The only thing I ever knew was childcare and babysitting so naturally I went into Early Childhood Education. After two and a half years of college I am still 17 credit hours away from having an associates degree!! All I wanted to do was get married. Heck, I would have gotten married at age 18 if my boyfriend at the time would have been willing (and if he hadn't been 16).

So, here I am. A housewife. A homemaker. A domestic engineer. But I see ladies around me who seem to do it all so much better than I do. You know the type of mom I'm talking about. The one that shows up to Mops with her little ducks following quietly right behind her. Her hair is pretty, she's wearing makeup, she smells good. And you just know that at her house, there are not toys all over the floor or crusty dishes all over the counter. She speaks to her children in a calm and quiet manner. Even when they are acting up. This is the mom I would like to emulate.

I wanna be that mom!!

I realize that it's probably not reality for most moms that I've ever met. I know we all have shortcomings. Nobody is perfect. But that doesn't mean we can't strive to be better at what we do. So, for that reason, I've created this blog. To show my true colors. To share my misadventures with the world. I wouldn't want anyone falsley believing that I have it all together. (HaHa!) Because believe me there are toys on the floor, there are dishes everywhere, I raise my voice a little too loudly at my kids most days and I get grumpy at the hubby more than I'd like to admit. But I love my family dearly and will continue to try to be THAT housewife, for them.
