My real name is Megan, but mostly I'm known as Mom.
I'm a stay at home mom who loves her kids, but also loves her DVR, Starbucks, and her iPhone in almost a co-dependent way. These however are my last vices, no more alcohol, no more cigarettes, no more bread (I'm gluten free). So really I'm not so upset at my co-dependency...
I have decided that I was not built for motherhood. However motherhood has built me, and it's a work in progress.
I'm on the downward slope to 35, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
I love my husband because he is hilarious, and you can't stay mad at someone who makes you laugh. His expertise is the coversational joke.
I have two beautiful daughters. Caitlin and Mackenzie. One day they are going to sue for damages and defamation of character as a result of reading this blog. I'm ok with that. Or they will write their own blog/book, and I'm not sure I'll be ok with that.
I'm always going to be honest. Sometimes I'll be harsh. I'll try my best not to offend. But I can't promise anything.
Stick around and stay a while.
I think you will be glad you did!
With loving affection,
Absolute Mommy
I love this! :)

ReplyDeleteHi nice to meet you. I'm on that downward slope as well. Getting closer to my 40's every second. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I love how you say it's a work in progress. No truer words sister friend. My mom always says, (nope not life is like a box of chocolates) "Parenting is not for cowards" again a work in progress for us all. Your blog is super great and I can't wait to read more.

ReplyDeleteSo I just found your blog from your button over at The Foley Fam - don't you love Kristine? anyways, I can totally relate to not staying mad at the hubs when he makes you laugh...and as nice as it is, isn't it quite annoying sometimes...One time I had to play that country song "I just wanna be mad for a while" because he wouldn't let me be mad....ha! excited to be your newest follower! whoop whoop!
ReplyDelete"I have decided that I was not built for motherhood. However motherhood has built me, and it's a work in progress." This is SO me too! Thanks for putting into words exactly what I feel!
ReplyDeleteI am not a work in progress...I decided a long time ago I was built to spoil my sister's kids!

ReplyDeleteI love this: "I have decided that I was not built for motherhood. However motherhood has built me, and it's a work in progress." I could say that about so many things in life... we are never truly ready for any of it but it helps shape who we are!
