Welcome to My World

Hi there, my name is Sara and I am a 32 y/o stay at home, suburban mother of 3.  I have been married for 9 years to my high school sweetheart Scott.  I have been both a full time working mother and a full time stay at home mother.  We have a nice home, nice vehicles, 2 dogs, a cat, and a turtle (because I'm a sucker you will soon find out).  My son plays basketball, baseball, soccer, and football and sometimes they are going at the same time.  He also is a cub scout.  My daughters are 20 months apart at 3 and almost 2!  I never thought that motherhood would end up leaving me feeling so satisfied yet at the same time so torn.  I have always been a very outgoing, social butterfly type of person and I have always loved kids.  I LOVE MY kids.  But, being a stay at home mom can definitely take a toll on you as a person and also your relationship with your husband and friends.  There is no you time, not unless on occasion you are lucky enough to get out of the house even if it is to run and get a movie because just driving in the car alone with the music blaring can be 20 minutes of therapy.  Its very easy to lose your sense of self and to not just define yourself as mom, momma, and mommy.   It is most especially hard when you live in Central IL and get stuck in your home because we just had a blizzard or its -22 degrees outside!  That can truly mess with a person!  HA!
On the other hand, I have 3 little angels (i use that term loosley some days ;-) )  They make me laugh, at times they have made me cry but they are snuggly, loveable and most of all extremely entertaining which you will also find out if you keep reading this!  Just to give you a hint as I sit here typing my 3 year old is yelling at me from the bathroom to please come wipe her butt because she just had a REAWY GWOSS POOP and she stinks!  At the same time my 20 month old is sticking her fingers up the poor dogs nose!  This is just the tip of the iceberg people.  OH yes, believe me we have had kids feeding the dogs poop with a spoon out of the diaper they just ripped off, my son "tattooing" my daughter from head to toe with markers, and so so much more!  So get ready and welcome to my world!
Because, such is the life of the stay at home mother who answers no matter what to Mom, Momma, and Mommy~
