I'm Mommy, Mama, or Mom -- depending on my daughter's attitude and current desires. I use my super-mommy powers to keep children's attitudes in check, gourmet meals prepared, a house clean, Daddy's uniforms clean (but not ironed--that's his job), make-up perfect, and to stay well the whole time. And if you bought that I do all that ... call me, I have a perfectly behaved cat to sell you. :D
In reality, I am a Navy wife with two kids that are way too close in age. I work hard at keeping my house clean (but fail most of the time). I keep my family fed (not promising that I'm the one that prepared it, but at least I try). I apply my MaryKay everyday, as I should because I sell it, but rarely do I truly put forth the effort I/it deserves to make it look good.
I love my life, no matter how imperfect it may be, and work hard to find laughter in my children's shenanigans.
Awww! Still such a cutie even when throwing a fit though!
