A little bird came and told me today that my blog has gotten rather depressing and bordering on “emotional mess”*. Seriously, though, if you have read my comments section from my last post you might actually guess that it was my husband. Tee Hee…

Anyway, I’ve been outed. First of all I should explain myself. I don’t blog to complain and I certainly don’t want to sound like I am depressed or unhappy because I am NOT. I am far from unhappy but that doesn’t mean that I won’t occasionally be whiney or make a complaint or be an emotional mess at times. And, ya know, sometimes if I’m lacking in inspiration I’ll just find something to complain about and I really shouldn’t come here to do that. It’s not fair to my readers or my family.

In the blogosphere, moms and happy don’t seem to mix very well. If a mom constantly gabs about how happy she is and how perfect (I promise I’m not perfect) her life is and how great her kids are, other bloggers get turned off and fast. Maybe thats why sometimes I feel it necessary to share a complaint even if it’s not so ,dare I say, spot on.

Realistically speaking, I am a happy person and I can find the positive in almost anything. I love my life and I love my children. I love who my husband is and who I am. I’m not saying we are perfect. I’m not saying my kids are either but they sure are close. Aren’t yours?

Furthermore, we aren’t living a glamorous life unless you think glamorous is living on a work at home income while the husband completes his PHD. Is it a bad thing if you are happy with who you are?

*And, today was also the day that I revealed to my husband my crush on the Dirty Jobs Host eating chinese in our pajamas hillbilly style…at the restaurant.. Was that a good idea?

Overall, I just dont want my readers to get the wrong impression about me and I hope who I truly am comes across in my writing even if it makes me that “happy mommy blogger” that everyone loves to hate.
