My First Blog

Well, today is the first day I have ever written a blog.  I told myself I would never do it, because it was for people with far too much time on their hands or no friends to rant and rave to.   I have a million friends that I rant to each and everyday.  They will be the first to tell you that I drive them nuts with my daily complaints and advice on how they should be living their lives.  I seem to think I am an expert on certain things.  Well everything.  I have always been this way.  When I was first became a mom I felt this overwhelming urge to be perfect.  I still do and I think that is what is eventually going to drive me to an early grave.  I had to make sure I showered by a certain time, house was clean before hubby got home, and there was a balance meal on the table.  I realize this is not realistic for everyone all of the time, but I am finding a large amount of my friends can't seem to even get one of those things done before hubby gets home from work.  What man wants to come home to a dirty house, a wife that looks like she has been dragged down the street by the trash truck and no food on the table.  GROSS.  I had a great role model when I was growing up.  Although my mother did not rise early to fix us a well balanced breakfast and get myself and my 2 older siblings off to school, she did manage to workout, get her house clean, read some fashion magazines, go to the mall and get dinner started before she picked us up at school.  She was almost always put together.  Full hair and makeup and a perfect outfit almost everyday.  Tough act to follow I am sure you are thinking..but not really.   It takes some practice and a lot of organization and many frustrating days----so this is why I want to start this blog.  I want to show other moms and wives out there, that you too can be perfect, well, almost perfect most of the time.
