Ultimate Blog Party 2013

You know that mom who has been blogging since before she was married, and you've followed all of her life's accomplishments including the purchase of her dream house, and the miracle births of her beautiful, perfect children?  I am not that mom.  I mean, I have two fabulous boys who fill my life with... well, sports equipment, suspect smells, boogers, and more dirt than you've ever imagined... plus the most wonderful, amazing mama's boy hugs ever.  I am a mother of boys, a "MOB" if you will.  And these stories are the crazy antics that actually occur in my household and are collectively known as MOB mentalities.

I used to be that shy, insecure, quiet person who enjoyed observing life from a shadowy corner - sounds like a creepy stalker when it's spelled out like that.  I'm not, I swear.  Well, I only stalk people who write amazing blogs and have funny posts on Twitter (you know, socially acceptable stalking, so don't be so quick to judge).  When I had my kids the sarcastic side of me was forced to open up and take over.  You can't possibly take yourself seriously when you have breastmilk leaking through your bra pad or your baby's poop smeared on your arm because you didn't realize he'd had a blow-out that has coated everything from his one remaining sock all the way up to his dirty neck rolls.  In order to cope I took to Facebook to vent my frustrations at all the testosterone-fueled craziness that surrounded me.  I had friends encourage me to start a blog, and now, well, here we are. Hopefully they're not regretting that advice right about now.

I am new to blogging, and that's why I am so thankful to stumble across sites like 5 Minutes for Mom who have just compiled a full list of kindred spirits for me to connect with.  I hope you read on and enjoy a laugh at my expense!
