I am a fairly normal Southern gal, I think. I like to dress up but I am also equally comfortable in a pair of beat up jeans and a t-shirt. I like to cook and create new dishes, I can shoot a gun and fix my car but I still get weird looks when I go in the automotive store in my heels with my nails done to pick up a new fuel pump. I named my blog Texas Gem because I, like almost every other Southern gal I know, love anything that sparkles, glitters or shines.
I am a SAHM to 3 wonderful little girls, a 4 year old who will from here on out be referred to as Monkey, a 2 1/2 year old who is Monster and a 4 month old named Munchkin. While I love my children dearly, I sometimes feel bored out of my mind with the monotony of it all and the lack of adult interaction. It doesn't help that all of my nearest and dearest friends do not have children yet and I have never really been into the whole mommy playgroups. I don't want to make friends solely based on the fact that we both have children, I would rather have some adult interests connecting us. Basically, none of my friends are at the same point in their life and the other moms I have met aren't at the same point either since they are all working moms. I love my family and feel very grateful that I have the opportunity to stay home and raise my children but sometimes I want more. Is that wrong? I think about getting a job just to have something to do but then I look at what I have gotten to experience with my 2 older girls and realize that I don't want to miss those moments with my youngest and I don't want her to miss those moments with me either. They don't stay little for long and I know that in the blink of an eye, they will all be in school and on their way to growing up and I don't ever want to regret not being here for them. So tell me, if anyone out there reads this, am I the only one?
