Dear Diary,
Hi. My name is Hillary incase you forgot. :) Life has been great. Working 5 days a week, hanging out with the husband, being a football widow, and trying to get pregnant. Exhausting, I know! Speaking of trying to get pregnant, lately I have been thinking about what kind of mother I will be. I have observed quite a few in my time. Of course I look up to my own mother and hope I can be everything she is, with my own children. I look up to my mother-in-law (I really don't like the "in-law" phrase!) as well. They are both amazing women. I have quite a few pet peeves about some mothers. I hate the ones who don't want to "expose" their children on the internet. Now, I'm not saying expose as in anything risque (gross!), I mean release names... whatever.
Seriously, if you have a blog, and don't want to tell people what you and your kids REAL names are... MAKE IT FREAKIN' private. Please. I don't want to read it and not know who the hell I'm reading about. Excuse my french. Its funny how they make up names for them, but then post pictures of them all over the blog. Really? How ridiculous is that? Sure, when I have kids I will be protective. I get that. I can only imagine.. I highly doubt people are looking to kidnap your kids via blog. Give me a break. If you don't want people to know who you are, why have a blog? Really... please enlighten me. You might think its a weird pet peeve, but whew! It feels good to get it out!
As for the mothers who feel like they can be their teenage daughters best friend, gag me. The first thing my mother has always taught me was to "be a parent before their friend." Thats how my mom was when I was growing up. Yes, now she is my best friend. Mind you, I am a married adult woman. I take care of myself, and my husband. She was always my "mean" mom and grounded me for 8 months (Remember that!?!) before she was my friend. My point is, I just get frustrated when mothers feel like they need to be involved in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, high school drama, blah blah blah.
I vow to never be "that mother"
Love,

WOW - lot's to vent about my Weeza!!! It does feel good to get it out of your system! One day you will have your chance to have all of those "FUN" moments with your children! Wouldn't change any of it for the world - and look you turned out WONDERFUL!!!! Love you my darling! Mom
I love your signature on the bottom! That's really cute writing. Mom's are insane, they love their kids so much, they just don't know where to set the boundaries sometimes! Good advice about the "parent before friends." You'll be a great mom!
My kids names are not really Caiden and Beckett. Nor are they boys. Their real names are Sue and Jane! It's all a cover for the blog! LOL!
