a meme for old & new!

My first meme! This is kinda timely for the new moms visiting from Mommyfest. So here goes:

1. This mommy is 33, with 3 girls, and 3 years new in this town. Been clinically depressed since 13. (Just kidding - more like 21, but it didn’t have a 3 in it)
2. The best medicine is great humor! (check out Heather at Desperately Seeking Sanity, this had me laughing out loud!) Plus I regularly post all the funny stuff that I can find or accidentally misses the spam folder.
3. Full time stay-at-home-mommy. Which adds to the insanity on most days. And provides tons of fodder for cuteness and venting on this blog/journal of mine. (Which by the way, I’ve thieved someone else’s boundaries: I want my kids to be able to read this when they’re grown up and have a picture into what life was like when they were little. So no adult stuff, hate, tooooo embarrassing, etc.)
4. Faithful, I wish. At minimum I pray that my faith touches all that I do. God is the only reason that I’ve survived my disease thus far. But religion? Yikes, it has been a big part of the problem/ judgement that I feel on myself. So I hope to pass along tidbits that I’m learning about the God who created us, cares that we’re down here, and is actually right here beside me while I change that poopy diaper. He’s the one wiping down the bum, while I go wipe my nose with that minty stuff.) THAT’s the God who actually HELPS me, not from afar, but from right here in my messy life.
5. Marriage? Ah, yikes. Been the best part of life, and the absolutely worst! lol At least I think so some days. In actuality my hubby has stuck with me through a lot of my nasty stuff. And when being in close proximity makes me aware of my own deficiencies, he’s the poor scape goat. He handles it pretty well - actually, he deserves a nobel prize!

Some might say that this is too much information, but I believe that there are more women in my shoes than would admit it. I dunno why?

Blessed wednesday to you, Mommies,

Cathy
