I Am A Princess, But I Don't Wear A Crown!

As most of you already know my life is in a constant state of change. At the moment I am completely happy and loving my life. I can't begin to say enough about my boyfriend Greg and how much fun and happiness he brings to my life. My girls are flourishing in their new home and have become the best of friends the past few months. They play together all day, they fight, yes, but for the most part they have realized that their best friend sleeps in the same room and is always around and ready for fun! My job is a challange but I love working at Kohl's and my role as ad set supervisor is a work in progress! I sometimes find it odd that I have 8 people who look to me for direction and think I have all the answers! I am growing into my new role and enjoying it, I have fun and laugh at every mistake I make!

BUT all of this joy and happiness is not something that everyone is enjoying. I have aquired a bit of an anti Karen fan club right here on FB! Although I can only view a limited amount of it the hate, the anti Karen trashing has grown in the past few days and although at first I was hurt, I am now actually enjoying it. I now know how a celebrity feels when they are vilified in the press. I can actually relate to Jessica Simpson and many other women who have had their looks and personal lives spewed all over the pages of magazines. So here is my first press statement, a note to my fans (ha) and a response to those who hate me. I am not sure if the anti Karen fan club will ever view this, but I hope somehow it is leaked! I hope what I write does not embaress anyone so continure reading only if you are a brave soul!

One of the many things that has been written about me is that I look OLD! I am in fact 39 proud years old. I have had 2 children grow in my belly and I have a saggy wrinkliy jiggly roll of skin to show for it. I like to think of my tummy as God's reminder that he entrusted me with 2 of his creations. My body was able to grow 2 beautiful healthy girls. My body was able to deliver these 2 creations naturally without any drugs despite their large size! I am proud of that!

My boobs do sag! Yup, but they fed those 2 children for the first year of their lives. I breast fed both my girls, Jordan for 16 months and Janelle for 1 year. In fact my body is so amazing I breast fed Jordan and was pregnant with Janelle at the same time! So although parts of my body sag and I need alot of help to hoist certain parts up, I make the best of what I have and think I do a pretty good job! I know more about bras, spandex then I would like too, but I defy gravity at every turn and try to give the sun a salute every day! We all need a little help and we should never be embarressed about it!

I may have some wrinkles on my face. Around my eyes and mouth, but I hope that when people look at me they see the twinkle in my blue eyes and realize that those wrinkles were made because I smile alot. Those wrinkles show everytime I look into my boyfriends eyes and watch my children as they sleep. It took years for them to form and I am proud of each one! Having just lost 15 pounds and knowing that I can fit into a size 2 or 4 again and that I can still shop in the juniors department makes me proud! I love looking nice, I love clothes! I love dressing up, wearing makeup and looking nice. I know more about makeup and fashion then most people, but I look nice for me and me alone! Call me old, but thanks for noticing!

There are many other things and words that have been used against me, I won't list them here but you can imagine. I find it odd that women who do not even know me are leading the charge and attacking me! WHY? I would never attack you, especially when you also happen to be a mom. When you attack me, you attack my children. The same children that you smile at and try to befriend.

I tell my girls they are little princess's that as girls we are the jewels in God's Crown! My girls say I am a queen! They think I am beautiful, and so does my boyfriend for that matter! Do I act like a queen, NO, my only hope is that when God looks at me he smiles! Oh the wrinkles he must have! Can you imagine! I know that when God looks at me he see's a sweet child! A jewel in his crown, and right now I am twinkling and shining and I can feel God smiling down on me!

Please excuse the length and any spelling errors! I am a princess who has 2 little ones and my time is limited!
