What's In A Name

 Hi, welcome to Its A Mom Life I'm Kandis, however I normally go by: mom,mommy,mommom and mamma hahaha.... I will joke when people ask me what is name is, and reply with a questioning look with "-umm... mom,mamma, oh yes my name is Kandis! Have you ever felt this way?
I thought we could talk about mom quilt and all the roles our names play! It is an amazing feeling to be called mom, however I tend to almost forget that I am not just mom, don't get me wrong I am not anything but happy to be called mom, but I need to remember I'm more!
I am thinking about the last time, that I went out, with the hubby, or for a girls night out! Is this something that sounds familiar!
How many times in a day I get asked where something is, my 2nd kid he now says to me " but, you're mom you know where it is!" How about the number of times or days I didn't get my shower I'm because well life happened!
There is so much in my name, and I need to show all sides of it but also realize not feel bad when I just can't fit %100 of all sides of my name in at once! I understand things and people change as there name gets more sides or roles but to try to remember the original one can be tough! Am I right?
That "mom guilt" is always there when I sit down to do something!
Moms use to unite, it seems that as the years went on, people leaned more towards a mom can do it all! We can, but just not all at once! People use to always help, big and small groups, lending hands and being a strong community! Now, we are don't we just do it all. The supports went small and the moms role went bigger. Mom's can be everything, but usually asked all at once!
"What's in a name?" A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"- William Shakespeare ❤
So, don't feel bad when you put the other names down and just be your name, go have that bath, watch the tv show, leave the dishes and play that board game with the kid's! There is can be lots in your name but don't forget to take care of the original one.
Mom's are strong, but are stronger when together.
I hope this will make you think twice about trying to please everyone all at once, remember to take of you also.
