I am just me! diary of a Mama...

Who I am? ...Just me. Housewife, mother of two, daughter of a couple, who after 37 years or so of marriage, are still together, sister, auntie etc. Nothing special but certainly not lame by any means. I am obsessive, overly sensitive, and constantly doubtful of what I bring to the table. No, not dinner! My contributions in life. I don't think this makes me unique in anyway, but maybe relatable, if such a word exists.




CODE OF ARMS

The Smith Family always sticks together!

Just thinking of when I was first prego with my oldest. I had all these plans of the KIND of mom I was gonna be. Natural, organic, cloth diapers etc. funny how you have all these High expectations of yourself, but when the sleep deprivation kicks in, they are thrown out the window! In my zombie like state, I'd roll over stick out my boob and fall back asleep. Cloth diapers, Screw that! I barely had the energy to take a shower let alone wash and sanitize diapers. Oh! and making my own baby food. Tried it with carrots, hmm let's just say, didn't work either. So the only thing I was able to stick to was the idea of breast feeding. It was actually the easiest and most efficient way at 2am in the morning. So when the 2nd one came around, I was well stocked with store diapers and Gerber baby food.
