Mommy First

Being a mom before everything else.

I have two beautiful boys, 8 and 3 years old respectively. I love them more than life at times.  Other times I want to pull out all my hair and auction them off to the lowest bidder.  They are a joy and a challenge as all moms know.  I find most of my thoughts daily are about them.  Appointments I need to make, what is for dinner, is it a bath night—and the list goes on.

I have let Brenda go to the wayside in favor of Mommy.  I took this opportunity to write a blog to get some of Brenda back in my life.

I have wanted to be a writer since the second grade.  This is a good forum to give it a whirl.

I have found the little things I do for myself sometimes mean the most, as those are the only things I have time to do.  I make the time to have my nails done once a month and I write almost every day so that when my boys need Mommy I still know a little of Brenda exists in there too.
