Why?

      The question of why, why am I a mom? Why did I start a blog? Why is my domain Mommi instead of mommy or mom or any other form of mother?

   First, I am a mom because as sappy or “old fashioned” as it sounds I was born to be a mother. When I was a child I always wanted to be a mommy Technically a nurse first but only work for a few (2-3) years then become a stay a home mom. Yes, even as a young child I knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom. Mostly because of the role model I had in my own mother. She is a fiercely independent woman who can take care of what she needs to when the time calls for it. My father being in the Army, in the special forces to be exact. She was a "single mother" many times, most of the times for months at a time.  I wanted to be just like her.  Well other than having a husband in the military, which I will talk about later. Which meant staying at home with my two children, a boy and then a girl (as fate would have it, I have my boy, lime, and my girl, Baby girl.)

      I started this blog because I have so many things that I want to share and I don’t think Facebook would be the best area.  For one, most people wouldn't want to read a “status “that is over 15 words. Let’s face is for FB a 15 word status might even be pushing it. People like to read “Coffee is my best friend” which was my status today in fact.

      My domain is Mommi   (pronounced Mom-I) because instead of the usually mommy or momma my sweet little Lime-a-kins calls me Mommi and my husband Me. He has such a great since of self that he doesn't need to call us mommy and daddy. Even though we have tried many times to have him call us by “the correct names” We love our son for this, I am not sure of any other parents with our names. 

      Now let’s hope I can actually have the time to keep up with this blog and have wonderfully funny or insightful things to post. With an almost two year old and almost two month old my life gets a little hectic.
