Hi I'm Lee and everything on this blog is basically a short story of my life.
Every morning I wake up to the three most important people of my life. And every morning I think the exact same thing: Just five more minutes!
Each morning I am woken by one of three people, my hubby Mike, with his alarm going off to get ready for work, my oldest Tyler yapping about turning on the TV or wanting a drink, or my youngest Lily, climbing on my head or kicking me as she is trying to squirm off the bed. There is never ever a day where all three of them sleep in, if its not one of them waking me up its another! Although I can't really be mad at Mike because he is just as unhappy about his alarm going off as I am.
I am a stay at home mom for my two beautiful children. Tyler is almost four and Lils is almost two, and they are the biggest handful ever. I spend my entire day chasing them around the house, sshing one of them when the other is napping, feeding them (Lily never stops eating, ever), teaching them, and running our errands that never seem to end.
There is always at least one time in my day where I would just like a vacation, this usually happens when I am on the phone or doing something important and both kids are clawing at my legs crying for usually no reason other than they want me to hold them or play with them. Other people look at my life and say I have it easy or that we must have a lot of money because we can afford for me to stay home. Well kids are not cheap and they definitely are not easy.
Just to sum up what I do... I am a teacher, a librarian, a cook, a friend, a doctor, a maid, a mediator, a driver, a torturer (I have to hold them down for shots), a personal shopper, a professional fort builder, a student, a mind reader, an interpreter, the bad guy, and a magician. And just so we are clear, I do not stay home because we are rich, because we are not. I stay home because daycare is EXPENSIVE and because we feel our children deserve to be in their own healthy environment and so far they are better educated than kids their age and older who are attending preschool and daycare.
Usually on the days when I get really stressed out I send my best friend some crazy obnoxious texts that by the time I have typed them up I am laughing and feel so much better. And that is what led me to start this blog. We realized that there are probably millions of other moms out there who need a way to laugh off their hectic day and they need something to help them do that. Well this is that place, this is your safe place where I talk about my life as a bad mom and you can laugh at what an ass I have made of myself. I hope that you enjoy my site and I would love to hear any feedback you have on anything I post.
Well, I hope you enjoyed yourself and please feel free to come back anytime, if you don't want to come back because of any reason please send me a message as to why and maybe I can do something to make you feel more comfortable. Thanks for reading!
And thank you to Cleo for being there for me through all my difficult mommy days and for helping me with this blog! Your the best <3
