Here we go...

Hi.  And welcome to my blog. 

I recently decided that I needed to get everything out that was living in my brain.  Everything from being a mom to a special needs kiddo and working outside of the home to dealing with depression and anxiety.  You see, all these things and much, MUCH more are on a constant loop inside this mom's brain. 

Let me introduce myself, I'm Amanda and I'm a mom.  I currently have an almost eight year old son with Moebius Syndrome, and I am expecting.  Did I mention that I am 39 years old?  Yeah, so I'm one of those "older moms" or as my doctor likes to remind me, "you are of advanced maternal age."  Like that's supposed to make me feel better. 

Anyhoo, often times my brain gets muddled with things I think I "should" be doing or things I "shouldn't" be doing.  It's the mom-guilt. (Yep, it's a real thing).  And let's be honest, everyone you come in contact with, either in real life or online, has an idea or opinion on how you do things.  And those same people are really great (insert sarcasm) to let you know exactly what it is that they feel you did wrong.  This is where the mom-guilt comes in. 

All in all, this blog is about all the things in my pea brain.  The things I need to talk about and the things I ponder.  I hope you enjoy the ride!
