"What do you want to be when you grow up", my daughter's friend asked me. Before I could even think about opening my mouth my oldest had replied with, "She's a Mom". I quickly gave her a "Yeah but I do work part time". My daughter looked at me with those big blues, gave them a roll (which since she is only six is more of a head rolling than just eyes), and then laughed at me like I had just said something funny.
It dawned on me that the majority of the time the kids see me making breakfast, pouring milk, running out to fold clothes, finding missing shoes, doing princess hairstyles, changing poo poo pants, and all those other not so glamorous "Mommy type" things. When I leave to go to work I can only imagine they are thinking I'm just somewhere else tying shoes and wiping noses. I'll admit it bothered me a little to be seen just in this Mommy figure role. But then I realized, wait but that's what I'm good at (most days anyway). That's what I wanted to be when I grew up. It's the role of a lifetime and now I finally landed it. Yeah the pay is pretty minimal and I'll never get a promotion, but the beni's are great!
Like everyone I think my kids walk on water and truly say some of the greatest quotes ever. I have a 6 year old theatrical giant, a 4.5 year old future mathlete, and a 6 month old smiley, rolly bundle of a baby. This blog is my way to share funny stories and document a day in the life of a glamorous Mommy.

Yeah it's not always a glamorous gig, but for the most part, it's pretty rewarding. My kids are my life line and truly make me laugh. So I hope to be able to capture with words and pictures the feelings of the day. They won't always be pretty, but like any Mommy knows, some days are like that.
Super cute!
