Insults and Inspiration..... what the heck is this blog about?

The other week I cracked open a fortune cookie and this is what it said:

You constantly struggle for self improvement and it shows

What the heck???? Since when are fortune cookies insulting?? How did it know that I was most definitely not gifted with the type A personality? How did it know that I am not the "super mom" that pinterest show us how to be? How did it know that.....  


*I use coupons, but there are a ton of expired ones that I will get around to tossing out, eventually!
* I didn't make my own baby food ( oh the horror!!)

* The only way I will become a runner is if I hire a tiger to chase me

* My daily routine is so flexible, it's basically get up and sometime before 8pm get myself and the kids fed and dressed


Well, you know what, you smug little fortune cookie , you were stale and the jokes on you! I am perfectly happy being imperfect.  Life is way more interesting when it's not in perfect order! The chaos creates some pretty awesome stories and I am happy to share them.  I will shout them from the mountain top of laundry that mysteriously forms (seriously, my kids spend most of their time half naked. Where does it all come from?)  Okay, so maybe I won't "shout" them but I will put them in this blog.

(it's a mom thing!)  There will not be lots of great tips or brilliant ideas.  There definitely will be grammar and spelling mistakes ( Give me a break, I haven't slept well in 4 years).  And I am so not good with conclusions. I am so focused on making a story funny, that I don't know how to wrap it and........
