SHOTTV

SHOTTV- May look like just 5 letters to you. But to me it means so much more. SHOTTV encompasses sisterhood, compassion, caring, and some of the saddest and happiest moments for me in the past year. SHOTTV better known as the Sisterhood of the Travelling Vajayjays is a group of just over 40 women on www.babycenter.com from all over the US and beyond that met out of tragedy and have stuck together for over a year. Through our sadness have come happy moments and unfortunately a few sad times as well. We all suffered miscarriages in May, June or July of 2007. We met each other looking for support in trying to conceive again. We have cried together, laughed together and have rooted each other on through getting pregnant, pregnancies full of worry, recurrent losses for some, births, motherhood, and just everyday life. We have had 28 births of beautiful healthy babies. We have 12 pregnant sisters due anywhere between September and February and 4 of our sisters still on the frustrating and often unfair journey of trying to conceive. I was kind of adopted as the board momma in the beginning and have had the great pleasure of keeping track of everyone's progress along the way. This has helped me learn so much about each and every member of SHOTTV and learn to appreciate the scope of 40 women with different personalities getting along without any major issues. This in the world of women is unheard of. It just goes to show when you put your differences behind and truly care for people without judgement or prejudice how rewarding it can be for all parties involved. So I say to my SHOTTV sisters thank you. Each and every one of you has had an impact on my life and helped me get through a time of hopelessness, worry and confusion. When no one else understood you did. I am hoping for many more years of getting to know you all. And to my other readers (if I have any...lol) Thank you for reading.

What makes me a Goddess you ask?

The definition of Goddess is...

1. A female being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people.

Okay so let's break this down. Female...Check. Supernatural powers...check. Believed in...check. Worshiped by a people...Check.

So obviously I am a woman and wife and mother to 3.

My supernatural powers include feeding a baby with one eye open while fighting off sleep, peeing while feeding a baby because my bladder is going to explode(pulling the undies up is the hard part), changing multiple poopy diapers daily that would make a grown man cry, finding time to shower once a day, remembering the words/dances to all of the Wiggles songs, keeping up with all of the new "cool" tween things such as Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers, calling all 3 kids by their correct names(most times), keeping a pretty darn clean house if I do say so myself, reading books while feeding a baby and bouncing a 37 pound child on my foot, and conquering laundry mountains the size of the Himalayas. Of course these are only a few of my motherly supernatural powers. Other supernatural powers may or may not include still trying to be sexy while having that lovely spit-up on smell. Sorry hubby!

I am believed in by my family and friends.

And finally the definition of "a people" is more than one person and I have 3 that worship me for simply being their mother.

This is why I think that not just myself but all mothers should be considered to be a Goddess and held in the highest regard! If you have any supernatural powers please comment. I would love to hear about them.

Welcome I hope I don't bore you to death!

So here I am looking for a way to express myself and feel like I talk to other adults since I am 98% of the time a stay at home mom. Call it a bitch-fest or a bragging page if you must. My grammar is not perfect and my mouth may tend to be that of a sailor sometimes. If this isn't your thing...don't let the door hit ya where that good lord split ya! Anyone still left reading?

My name is Laura and I have been VERY happily married to Josh for 5 years come November. My husband and I have been together for 7.5 years and we have one daughter who is 6.5 named Kaylee, a son Jase who will be 2 in November, one angel baby and our son Greyson who is 3 months old. We also have Pepper a black cat that wanders about as she pleases. I work part time as a waitress 1-2 days a week to have my adult time and Josh works in retail management. Our parenting style is pretty laid back. We like to have fun and play but also expect a certain level of respect and discipline from our kids. We also enjoy those days that seem to be too few and far between that we all get to stay in our pjs and snuggle all day.

That was a loose explanation of "me" and my family and I hope to share more as we go along. Thanks for reading!
