All About Me

Hello and welcome to Mominator.com!!

I am a 32 year old married stay at home mother of 2 children, 1 dog and 1 cat, who loves to cook, but more importantly who LOVES to eat.  How I don’t weigh 500 lbs I’ll never know considering I’m Puerto Rican and I grew up eating rice quite frequently during the week with a side of something that inevitably was fried.  What a shame I never bought stock in Canola.

I am extremely clumsy and extremely forgetful.  No… seriously, I’d forget me if I weren’t attached to me already.  Perhaps when I have a big following I can do a review of Ginkgo Biloba-that’s if I remember to actually use it.  As for my clumsiness, well let’s just say I provide great entertainment for my husband who gets to laugh A LOT.

Speaking of my husband, we have been together for 12 years and married 8 of them.  After all this time we still like each other!  Actually it seems as time goes by we love each other more than years previous.  I often find myself wondering if that’s humanly possible and then I realize it is because we are living proof.  Besides, he automatically scored some major husband brownie points by contributing to the creation of our 2 beautiful children (of course I am biased here).

We have a daughter who just turned 5 on October 15th and we have a 7 year old son.  They are 18 months apart but get confused as twins all the time because my daughter is as tall as him and she only weighs just a few pounds less.  They are crazy, but in a good way.  They remind me to stop, slow down and enjoy my time with them and with life in general because, I’m almost certain there will be a point when my son might be embarrassed to give me a kiss at the bus stop anymore.  They are the personification of the youthfulness inside of me and I rely heavily on them to keep bringing that out of me.  So I’ll cherish every moment I can, even when they’re being bad asses.  Well, not so much then.

I love my family and friends and love spending time with them all.  I love to entertain and have parties.  I love poetry and music.  I love to draw and paint even though I’m not great at it.  I love crafts, especially scrap booking.  I absolutely love the outdoors, especially the beach.  I love to travel.  I love staring at my children after they have fallen asleep and then I love getting that first “Good morning mommy!” followed by a hug and kiss that erases all the evil they did the day before.  Finally, can I just say, thank God for TIVO because I also love T.V…well certain specific shows anyway.

Wow, this is really tough, because there is so much more to me, but right now as I’m looking back at all that I wrote I feel like I’m reading a personals ad or something.  So I’ll just take this time to thank you for visiting and hope I haven’t run you off with my ramblings already.  I’m hoping to write about so many different things on this blog pertaining to, not only being a mom, but about life in general and whatever is coming my way at the time, for example, how I just reunited with my biological mom after 29 years of not seeing her or how my 5 year old daughter constantly reminds me how I forget everything, because apparently I forget that I’m forgetful and need to be reminded of it so that I don’t forget it.  WHEW!  I hope you’ll stay to laugh and maybe cry with me.  Oh, and fair warning…I LOVE to laugh, especially at myself so if you are grumpy and don’t enjoy sarcasm, keep moving.
