My Story

I am an Army wife, a full time student, and most importantly a stay-at-home mom (SAHM for those of you who don't know internet talk). My reasons behind this whole madness are to keep all you new moms out there informed on what I wish someone had told me before I had to go through it blind. There is so much to pregnancy, birth, and raising kids that is just not talked about. And damn it, if I would have known! 

I do not regret any moment I have had with my now 2 year old or my 1 month old, but if I were to tell you it has been a breeze I would be a huge liar! I go days where I question my own sanity and have to check the calendar to find the last day I bathed (not like checking would matter...I have no clue what day it is!) I say "goodness" when in reality I am screaming in my head. My curse words have been replaced with clenched teeth and "gosh" and I dream in Disney songs. I have all the theme sings to Disney Chanel and Nick Jr. shows memorized and know all the characters by name. I eat PB&J and corn dogs more often than I would like to admit. I usually feel utter unattractive, but damn it, I LOVE my kids more than I would ever be able to put into words. 

Being a mom has been the most frustrating, infuriating, stressful, tiring, educational, rewarding miracle I could have ever imagined. That being said, I intend to share with you every little disgusting, beautiful, and weird thing I know about being a mom. I will share with you what women conveniently leave out when they talk about what happens before and after baby. I will be brutally honest and probably offer up way too much information, but its all what I wish I would have known. Maybe it would have been easier, maybe I would have been more prepared, maybe nothing would have been different. Who knows. But if one thing I say helps one mom regain a fraction of a second of sanity, then I saw its worth it! So I guess, its on to the nasty...
