Real reality tv...errr, blog

The blog title says it all. I'm a mom and lower class. Does this make me an worse a mom? Absolutely not. Does this make things a little more difficult? Absolutely. I have two beautiful children, Aryiana-3 & Aiden-2. They light up my life every minute of everyday even when they're driving me completely crazy! This blog is for me to vent about anything and everything and to provide a place for other moms in the same position to come and relate. A little background about me... I'm 27, born and raised in Jersey in a mid to upper class home. I have 2 wonderfully successful younger brothers with whom I have great relationships. They have stuck by my side through some pretty rough times and I love them more for it each day. My parents divorced when I was 4, I don't really remember too much about it. All I do remember is some fighting and being confused as to where my mom went. My dad ended up with custody so we had visitation with my mom. My dad gave us a wonderful childhood, we never went without, took summer vacations to Cape May, NJ every year, had great holidays and all that good stuff. We were raised to understand that you had to work for what you wanted and that nothing in life was free. It wasn't crammed into our heads in a negative way, my dad taught us how to be responsible and hardworking and for the most part it paid off. We had strong family ties with our entire extended family and still do. My parents were always super supportive, loving and disciplined us when we needed it. I really can't complain about anything in my childhood or with the way my dad raised us. Looking back, he did an awesome job. Somewhere along the line though, I got stupid. Really, really stupid. I don't really know exactly why but that's what got me where I am today. So now that you have a mini background I'll give you my current life situation. I live in a tiny little town in eastern PA. Its a little backwoods but it works. My house is a one bedroom on a nice double lot. My car is a 2000 Ford Explorer, which is unfortunately a gas guzzling V8. Don't get me wrong, regardless of the flaws I am extremely thankful to have a house and a car! I work for my dad for $10 per hour, I have to earn my place there just like I would anywhere else. Right now my bills greatly surpass my income and I'm not doing a very good job budgeting at all..... I actually have to unexpectedly jet so I'll leave off there and finish up later tonight! Welcome and thanks for reading!
