i AM doing this!!!

I know there are going to be some non-believers, but I am ready to start blogging again!!  Only this time it's going to be a little different.  I have struggled with the "normal" blog where people put only the good stuff, I mean the REALLY REALLY  good stuff, the "too good to be true" stuff, the stuff that leaves us all feeling like crap.-Please tell me I am not the only one who feels like that when reading some others blog!  It's no wonder we feel like failures as mothers and wives, when we are constantly bombarded with everyone's "Highlight Reel".  Real life is not what you see on Facebook, blogs and especially not Pinterest!!  I have had many different conversations with different friends and family and it's amazing how many women feel like they just can't keep up.  I want to make my blog as real as I can get it, yes it will still be used as a type of journaling for my family, but I don't think I need to sugar coat everything or make it seem all roses and sunshine in order for my kids to feel like they had a good childhood.  In fact sometimes it would be nice to see that my mom struggled with some of the same things that I struggle with.  So, my blog is going to be the good, the bad and the ugly.  If you are looking for a perfect world to take a peek at - you are at the wrong blog!  I also hope to be able to find humor in as many situations as possible, so it may even be a little entertaining too.  I do tend to be a sarcastic person, if that offends you, then you should probably stop reading, too.  I only have one blog requirement -- NO JUDGING!!  If I am going to bare my soul, my deepest darkest secrets, then I would appreciate it if you didn't judge me. Just come, read, and comment - then have a great day!  Here we go...
