Here's the thing...

Here's the thing,
I love Facebook. I'm on it ALL THE TIME.
I also love Instagram. Possibly more than Facebook.
And don't even get me stared on Pinterest. It's my husbands nemesis.
Let's be honest, I'm a big fan of social media. Except Twitter. I just don't quite get it. 

But I hate it at the same time. 
Something about having the ability to make you feel like you are the crappiest at everything.
ITS NOT ALWAYS REAL LIFE.

That's why I've decided to come here.

I struggle. 

I struggle every single day. 

Being a mom is hard. 

Being a stay at home mom is hard. 

Being a mormon mom is hard. 

Being a mom that has time consuming hobbies is hard. 

Marriage is hard. 

Sometimes, 7 years down the road, you're still trying to figure each other out.

There are days that as soon as my husband walks in the door, I'm out. 

I know my limits. 

Somedays they are more than others. 

Somedays I would give ANYTHING to have a job outside of my home so I could feel accomplished about SOMETHING in my life and not feel like I'm a complete failure. 

Also because some days, I just don't want to be Mom.

But then there are days that I realize just how blessed I am to be home with my monsters. 

Guys, I guess what I'm trying to say is MOTHERHOOD SUCKS SOMETIMES. 

It's freaking hard stuff. 

But, this is my life.

And it's BEAUTIFUL.

It's far from glamorous. 

Somedays it's downright NASTY. 

But it's my life and it's NORMAL. 

That's the main thing. It's REAL and it's NORMAL. 

Life is messy. 

Life is beautiful. 

Life is depressing. 

Life is hard. 

I guess that's what I want this to be. 

A place for people to go to know that they aren't the only ones who just want to pee in peace. 

Like without a little person knocking on the door wanting to know if you made Mommy poops or Daddy poops. 

That they aren't the only ones who have no idea the last time they swept the floor and can't tell what meal the shriveled up thing your baby is eating came from. 

That they aren't the only ones who honestly can't remember the last time they showered and then just keep telling themselves that it's ok because not washing your hair is healthy right?

That they aren't the only ones who desperately want to reconnect with their spouse, but just don't know how to. 

This is that place.
