I am a mummy of three, make that four loud, opinionated, high energy boys. I wish someone would have told me the "truth" about parenting. When your expecting you read about giggles,laughter and happy days. No one says congrats, here is the beginning of Insomnia,desensitization to fecal matter, and all other body fluids..oh and the screaming.. have fun with that..The ONE real TRUTH about parenting is..IF YOU CAN'T FIND HUMOR IN IT YOUR CLEARLY DOING IT WRONG..

"After I read her blog I made myself a bag of microwave popcorn......and ate the entire thing"
Ahhhhh the age of internet. Nothing like the craze of "mummy blogs" and facebook pages to make you feel like an inferior parent.
A friend and I were discussing a popular "crunchy" parent's blog when suddenly she blurts "after I read the blog, I made myself a bag of microwave popcorn......and ate the entire thing"
It got me to thinking(oh no) how many time I read facebooks statuses like this
" churned butter in the back yard this morning while breastfeeding the baby, encouraged the older kids to organize an interpretive dance, ground my own wheat for bread(that I baked this afternoon) and yet still am able to keep a spotless house..yah me!"
and have to bite back a comment such as..
"yah well I think I might have sprained my finger using the can opener while making alphaghetti for lunch"
or
"man! my arm sure is sore, I couldn't be bothered to get off the chaise lounge and find the sprinkler so I had HOLD the hose to spray the kids down.."
seriously I sometimes wonder are these "perfect parent" type blogs REALLY ment to inspire or to make us "regular joes(or janes) feel some how lacking..I previous conversation with a friend who makes her own pasta
Me " how do you do it, seriously?"
Her "well I mean with google now a days just about anything is possible"
Me silence(I'm thinking "damn! the last thing I think I googled was Magic Mike torn videos(sadly my search came up empty handed))
I have four kids, I sometimes feel like just motivating myself to have a shower should result in a hero cookie..
I may have found a purpose for this blog.. because lets face it who doesn't want to hear the rantings of a half crazed mother(now don't all rush to start following my blog at once) hahaha
