Welcome, friends!

This is my first attempt at blogging. I hear it is all the rave! As a mom, I just thought that I would share some of my thoughts, fears, experiences, joys, tears, laughter, stories, etc. You get the gist....Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope to hear back from you. This is meant to be a constructive, hopefully, funny, page that let's us moms forgive ourselves, give ourselves a break, and hopefully some support! Happy reading!

What's for dinner....

....some days I just don't know what to make for the kids for dinner.....pizza, chicken nuggets, pasta.....???? Boring....same old, same old! I just want a quick, easy dinner that is HEALTHY! That is TASTY! Is that hard to ask? I have discovered that ground turkey can be a winner in more than one way....turkey meatballs, turkey burgers, baked ziti with turkey sauce....I have also learned of a really great salmon cake recipe....I have yet to try that one....rotisserie chicken from Costco is a good one....but by the time dinner time comes around, I don't know about you moms out there, but I cannot think anymore. Hubster and I eat later and we don't want the kids to eat that late because they need to digest, so, here I am making my 5th meal of the day, and dinner is the most difficult...ugh...they have to eat, right? LOL.....well, it is time to go make dinner for the kids, so, over and out....

What happens when....

.....you just want to give up? I want so much to be the best mom that I can for my kids, and I expect my husband to do the same, and I just feel like he is lazy. I feel like so many women that I know are stronger than men. We carry and bare the children, we basically raise them, we set the standard for the values, all I ask is that we live the same standard that we expect of our children, I don't understand why he does  not understand that. I am hurt that he does not hear this from me. I don't want my kids to grow up in a broken home or a home where mom and dad are not "in love" or loving each other. I find it difficult to be close when he does not live up to the standard that he knows I want to uphold. I am at a crossroads right now. I hope that it all works out, because I do not want to hurt my kids. It sure is not easy to be the ones trying not to follow in the footsteps of both or our parents.
