Today I am feeling...

like the hired help.

Just a mom

So I decided to change the name of this blog to Just a Mom. Because that is what I am. Just a mom. I am sure some people will take offense to that but I don't.

I have spent most of my daughter's life trying to figure out what my "purpose" should be while I stay home with my child. I knew I wanted to be home with her and there is no place I would rather be, but I felt pressure to be more. Do more. That being a stay at home mom is lazy in some way.

Well that is crap. Being just a mom, it is hard. It is a lot of work but being with her fulfills me. It is harder than anything I have ever done and love it more than anything I have ever done. I have my days....oh are there days. But the awesome days....the happy days.....the fun days.....happen far more often than not and I am so proud to be Just Adriana's mom. And there is nothing I would rather be.

Addiction

These are my new addiction...I innocently bought them for my child as a nice treat....well she fell in love with them and so did I.   I dream about them....ridiculous!  Who dreams about snack foods.   ME!

There is something about them.  I read that they were comparable to the Drake Cakes that were made famous by a Seinfeld episode a few years back.  I haven't had one to compare but if they are the same, well, it is a good thing I haven't had one.  

Most used phrases

The following are the most used phrases by my child.

daddy sleep

daddy work

daddy phone

Please note none of these include "mommy sleep"....

What happens.....

Here is what happens when mommy spends a little too much time on facebook during breakfast instead of playing attention to baby.

Already unoriginal

So I decided to start a blog for me.  Just something to get the random thoughts off my chest...or rather somewhere to get these thoughts out so I don't overwhelm my husband with them at 5 o'clock each day.   As I am sure some of you can relate, after spending a majority of my day talking to a 1 year old, I get very excited to actually have an adult conversation.  And that typically means he gets assaulted each night with the thoughts that come in and out of my head throughout a typical day.  

Random thoughts...I know.  Not all that original...right!  I tried to find ways to make it be, but well, even the "original" blog names that seemed so catchy had already been taken.   So I can't promise the posts will be original, funny, well written or even make sense.  But I can promise it will be random. 

So here it is.   The ramblings of a stay at home mom of a 20 month old girl (who is hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me...her and her daddy) who never thought she would truly have what it takes to be a stay at home mom and some days, feels she may not survive it.
