Meet Me!

I've heard it so many times, it's just become me. Do you know what I mean? You show up to a party of any kind. The family bar-b-q right up to the swanky wedding. You look great (at least your husband said so, even though he barely glanced your way, he's just so used to answering every question with a yes dear), you smell good and you managed to get that strained pea stain out of last years dress that is just a bit too snug in all the obvious places. Your hair is actually down and brushed and you even have make up on. Then you meet someone new and you know it's coming, the big question...

"So, what do you you?"

and before you have the chance to answer one of your oh so witty CEO of the household comments, someone steps in and answers for you, and it's always one of those people that you just want to strangle 99% of the time.

"Oh Michelle? She's JUST A STAY AT HOME MOM."

and the answer that follows:

"oh um wow, you must love being home all the time."

Then they walk away and are gone to someone more interesting. You know, the ones with REAL jobs and now you are left with the feeling you have become all to familiar with, the whole, no one really understands what I do, I just want to go home watch DORA and snuggle with my kids and go to bed in my queen size bed that somehow feels like a twin come 2 am when 2 kids crawl in and your husband is snoring up a storm and there is just no room for your 8 month pregnant body to fit, so you end up on the couch, cold and alone. Yeah, that's always better than sitting here in this too tight dress, these heels that are KILLING me and all I want to do is pull my hair up in a ponytail and wipe this stuff off my mouth.


So there you have it! I'm a stay at home mom to 2 kids and I really do have one more on the way! Yes, I have my hands full, OF COURSE I never miss an episode of Dr. Phil, Oprah, MArtha Stewart and of coruse Judge Judy. (Insert MAJOR EYE ROLL HERE!!) If only people really understood that stay at home mom usually means NEVER at home mom! I think I have more clothes in my minivan than I do in my closet! Ahh yes, the minivan, the ever present mom mobile! It's big, mean and green!

My kids are 1 and 2 and I am due next month (I am soo ready for it to be now!)
My newest start right now is my business! I make jewelry and cell phone charms and all those kinds of goodies! Check me out: http://www.michellescharmworld.etsy.com/. So on top of watching two toddlers (both insanely hyper) and a husband that manages to come home for lunch for an HOUR EVERY DAY, I am running a business!

But well, you know....

I'm Michelle and I'm JUST a stay at home mom.
