Absolutely Exhausting!!

You think that you're tired from the sleepless nights of the newborn years....and you are! You think that some relief will be in store  for you when the kids can use the bathroom or keep themselves entertained for like five minutes. You are to a point, but the bottom line is that these kids can be EXHAUSTING!!

I don't know a mom out there who isn't often one step away from a meltdown. These tiny little humans take up a lot of time and brain power. I find myself turning into a babbling idiot by like 9:00 every night.....and that's without any wine. KIDS. WEAR. YOU. OUT.

It can be the "mama, mama, mama, mama" jammering that can put you over the edge. It might be running them around all day like you're a freaking chaffeur. It might just be that you haven't had a good night of sleep since the day before you took that fateful pregnancy test.

They're amazing, we love them, and hell we do everything for them to make their life better--but that doesn't take away from the fact that being a mom is exhausting work. As I finally sit here to try and put my ever growing to do list together for tomorrow, I can barely make my way through an episode of food porn without wanting to nod off on the laptop.

No matter how old, how independent, or how amazing your kids are, they are going to drain you of all your energy and that is why most of us are just one step away from a metldown at any given moment.

It happens to the best of us--now go try to get some sleep before you are awakened by two little eyes staring up at you in bed!

I'm a Mom....But I'm Normal!!

Holy s*&t--motherhood is a journey that nobody prepared me for. It's full of so many wonderful things, but it's also full of a lot of crap too. I am a mom, but I'm just like you. I am somebody who just "gets it" because I am still the same me just with a lot more on my plate these days. I love my kids more than life itself--but I also love wine. A Lot!

I discovered the mommy meltdown not long after I had my daughter. It's the humor and craziness of all these things that nobody ever told me that I share with you. Sometimes motherhood is crazy and chaotic, and it often leads us straight to a happy hour venting session with the girls.

There's enough "how to" sites out there, and that's not what this is. This is meant to be your venting post and your place to get a laugh or two out of real life and sometimes unbelievable situations.

I have laughed, even when being covered in just about every bodily fluid I ever envisioned.

I have laughed when I got only two hours of sleep--though that might have been more out of exhaustion and delirium.

I have spent hours over countless glasses of wine with the WTF moments that have created this mommy journey.

I have made some pretty amazing mommy friends along the way who have quickly developed into my support network. Particularly helpful when you feel like you are on the brink of needing serious therapy after a long day with the crazy kids!

 I am here to try and share a little humor, a little experience, and to show you that there is somebody that can relate to you. 

I will never tell you what to do or judge you, and really I will probably share in the same experiences like when you want to punch the judgy mom at the park square in the jaw.

I get it--I'm a mom just like you, I AM normal, and I'm going to take you through my awesome and often crazy journey of motherhood! So let's laugh it up and do it together!!
