Hello! Welcome to my side of the blogosphere (is that what they call it?) Anyways my name is MissyJ, and I felt it necessary to create this blog so as not to implode. Let me explain... I am a 24 year old mother of two (2 months shy of of two years apart. Oops.), an online student, stay at home mom, an only child, and a weirdo. I've always loved working, I got a job as soon as it was legal for me to do so and before that I volunteered for different organizations. It is kinda hard to be a SAHM. I enjoy being there for all the milestones my kids reach, but I like being productive and being around other adults; sometimes. Before I continue, I will warn you my blog will include many parentheses. That's how I roll. Honestly the blog starts as a dialogue in my head and the parentheses are like little side notes I make while typing (told you, weirdo.) Where was I? Oh, well this blog is my diary to encourage my own mental health and to give you readers something to laugh/ think about.
I'm also documenting the journey of motherhood. When I was little, I was extremely ambitious. I wanted to be a chef, a hair dresser, a famous singer, on Broadway, a dancer, a musician, an obstetrician (totally not kidding), and on and on. In the midst of all these dreams, I've always wanted to be a mommy. I also wanted 8 kids, but I've thought long and hard about why that wouldn't work! When you think about it, in the past families were that size and larger, but these days many are content with one. People survived the Great Depression with 10 kids, and we complain about our struggles. I'm not saying that we shouldn't complain, Lord knows I have a lot to complain about, but I'd like to know what has changed. Do we have higher standards? Do we have higher expectations of what we need to be comfortable? Leave me a comment, let me know what you think... (btw you should follow me!)
Thanks for reading ;-)
