Motherhood is not easy. I've heard said that people say being a mother is one of the hardest jobs out there. I would have to agree. Being a mother of three, I've learned a few things. One of these being, children will make you crazy! There is nothing in this world that I have found so far that can make a person feel more emotions than any brain should allow within a 2 second time span like your children can. With one action, these little people can make you angry, scared, proud, frustrated, sad, and trying to hold back a laugh all at the same time.....NO WONDER I'M CRAZY!
After having baby #3, I've decided something. I've decided that I need a healthy way to ventilate and share all of these emotions to avoid complete emotional overload. I found that with each child I've lost a little bit of who Mrs. Insanity was, and have become simply mommy insanity. And, though I don't think I could ever return to being just plain old Mrs. Insanity....I think I can
resurrect some of who she was.
So, here is my random blog. A place for me to share some of who Mrs. Insanity is. A place where I'm not gushing on about my children, sharing photos of the insanity-inducers, and talking constantly about their daily accomplishments. My forum for sharing my out-of-left-field thoughts that randomly pop up from out of nowhere. For instance:
I used to be a singer. And by "used to be" I mean that I used to perform quite a bit in public forums as a vocal performer. I loved music and loved to sing. My vocal stylings ranged from opera and broadway musicals to alternative, country, and jazz. I still love music and love to sing, but it has been years since I've really performed....and my vocal abilities have suffered due to it....as has my musical repretiore.....I was playing a self-made game with my children where they had to name that tune.....I realized something very sad. I know the lyrics and tunes to way too many Children's movies and TV shows. I can't even tell you what show's are on Broadway anymore, or who most of the popular singers are on the radio anymore. This only tells me a couple of things. First: I watch way too many movies and way too much TV with my kids! Second, I'd better not go on any game shows that ask questions about current pop culture. I'd be one of the losers that walks away without any money because I couldn't even make it to the $25,000 mark due to missing the easy question about who sings the song that was top of the charts for X amount of weeks. Guess I'd better stick to the game shows where winning money is due to random chance.
Note: Let it be known that I do love being an insane mommy....I wouldn't trade any of my insanity-inducers for all the sanity in the world! I mean who am I kidding....the quiet environment alone would be enough to put me in an asylum! It's just nice to have a place and purpose that's more than being insanity-inducers mommy!
