A little over 6 years into this whole parenting thing, It's still so strange to me to think of myself as a "Mother" --- I don't have "Mom" hair or wear "Mom" jeans. I don't always do the right thing, like "Mothers" do. I fumble, I speak before I think ALOT, and I certainly don't find joy or self worth in cooking and cleaning - you know, like all those "Good Mothers" do. In short, I certainly don't fit the "Mommy Mold" --- you know the mold that I am talking about --- and you all know people that fit it, or well... at least I am sure that you know people that do a really good job of making you think that they fit it. If "fitting the mold" should be my goal... I'm probably falling a bit short. But, I'm not the only one. I know lots of Mommies that aren't "typical" Mommies - and I am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of them that God has put into my life, especially the ones that I am lucky enough to know in person, but also the ones that I keep up with in the blogosphere!

And maybe it is just me, but I think it's about time someone started working on a new mold..
