What is a girly girl mom?

You may be asking what a girly girl mom is...It's me. I'm a girl, girly at times, yet am not afraid to hook the worm, get dirty or rough house with the boys (I do live with 4). I like to dress up, wear skirts, dresses, makeup, heels...yet also love my track type pants, pj bottoms and overalls (even though told too old to wear them and that they're out of style). I'm one of those mom's who has come to the sad realization that I can't do it all...be perfect...the perfect mom, perfect home maker, perfect full time employee, perfect girlfriend, perfect daughter and perfect friend. I do have my flaws and learned (recently I may add) that even though I can't do perfect, I can do and be my best and that's ok. And to anyone who says otherwise can go....themselves....Yes, trying to be "clean" here and clean up my mouth, or would that be typing?

Girly girl started out as a nickname to irritate me since I don't consider myself one of those prissy, afraid to get dirty, afriad of breaking a nail, type of girls. Compared to my old neighbor, who gave me the name, I guess I am though...even though she refuses to fish and hook worms...while I don't mind (I do feel bad for the worms though). Compared to her though I am. She's the no makeup, no skirt, this is who I am person, while I'm the opposite. We're sisters by choice, not by birth (even though there are times I wonder if we really had a choice). I have decided to embrace my name and be girly. I am after all the only girly one in my family....there is Mike, my son Steven, his son's Joe & Wesley, and his daughter, soon to be 14, Cierra who has not discovered a like of boys and won't wear a dress or skirt at all (it's torture for her).

So...I am mom. The one who makes sure eveyone is feeling good, taken care of, clothes clean (yes I like doing laundry), fed and loved.
