YOU GUYS! I KNOW IT IS SUPER SUPER SUPER ANNOYING TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS BUT I HAVE SOME HUGE NEWS THAT I AM SO EXCITED TO SHARE –Scary Mommy published my blog post on my kids’ not having such a magical summer. Like RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE!

I am dead – and also so excited. It was the first time I ever submitted something I wrote, and I am relatively new at this blogging thing, but it has always been a dream of mine since I was little to be a writer and having my pieced picked up by Scary Mommy has me feeling all the feels.

I feel as Moms sometimes we put ourselves on the back burner. Okay, honestly, we always put ourselves on the back burner. And while I know some of my friends think I am crazy, approaching 40 without at least trying to do something I dreamed of since I was a little kid has started to make me feel literally sick to my stomach. So notwithstanding the fact that my friends and relatives may think I am having a mid-life crisis (which I probably am) I am just going to put myself out there and do something that makes me happy, for no reason other than it makes me happy. Having Scary Mommy publish my piece helps me feel a little less crazy, but regardless, as moms we should ALL try to make more time to do things that makes us feel more like ourselves, or happier, or just slightly less like we are losing our minds. Oh, and may people look at you like you are nuts? Probably. But who the hell cares?

Please go check the piece out -and if you are a Mom that hasn’t heard of Scary Mommy, well then girl go check out the whole site :).
