Hello out there, whoever is out there.

Sometimes being a stay at home mom with 2 kids (well, with any kids, it doesn't really matter the number) can be overwhelming and you tend to lose your connection to the world. Current events aren't so important anymore, and you hear your friends talking through a haze about some new amazing movie that just came out that everyone is seeing, and you've never heard of it.

Don't be alarmed, this is not a drill.

This is our life.

The life of a mom.

Before we enter momdom, we have an individual self worth. We have hobbies, we keep up with our friends, we DO THINGS. I'm not saying that if you have kids, you do nothing. I am just saying that in the mystical land of SAHMdom, time doesn't pass for us like it does for the rest of the world. What are we doing all day? The thankless job.

My bosses are a 3 year old princess and a 6 month old bottomless pit that is screaming unless my boob is in his mouth. I am actually breastfeeding as I type this... I have the skills of a contortionist. Not. I just have learned to cope, as all of us do, and continue on and still function even though I have a nursing boy attached to me 22/7. Our hobbies include the baking of mud pies, mud soup, digging in the mud, and when we get tired of the mud, we go to the zoo.

Me? Who am I? Well... I am a mom. I'm their mom. But wait... didn't I used to be Me? Wasn't there an individual there? Yes, I suppose so. I guess if I were defined as an "I" and not as a "we", I would be a mom-student-hairdresser-crafty-person. I am a part time college student taking online classes. I used to be a hairdresser, I still am sometimes. I intend to one day work in a salon again, but with both kids its just not really much of a possibility right now. I don't have time for many hobbies, but I do coupon (yep, the intense kind) and I hang with my kids all day. Sometimes I squeeze in some world of warcraft or some TV that isn't a cartoon.

So this is me, speaking to the black abyss, just saying I'm still here. Life has changed so much in the last 3 years that I can't even sum it up but maybe I'll try.
