A woman with multiple personalities seems to be the way to go these days. We are rapidly approaching 2010 and women are expected to be independent. Have a career, be a mother, be a good friend , and a sexy lover for there partners. Are you serious, do you know that this could drive you to the verge of insanity . Believe me I know, as a mother of five , a full time student, a married woman, and on top of all that a I work full time.

Now ladies lets analyze the situation at hand. As a mother , I dearly adore all my kids. At times I look at them and think my purpose here on earth must be to have these brilliant kids. I am proud of them, I push them to be all they can be. I volunteer at the school, I involve my kids in extra activities. In my house no sugar is allowed, and only one hour of television a day. So I guess you can say that I am a textbook mom. Needless to say it brings me joy. and plenty of sleepless nights. Now that you know  the mother part of who I am I will now introduce the other personalities.

The wife, I dearly love my husband. He is very understanding and always allows me to indulge in my insanity. But boy does he get on my nerves sometimes. I say to him " Honey I have to work will you please wash the clothes" He says " sure babe, I will wash them and leave them in a pile so that you can fold and put away" Are you serious, is it that hard . Mind you that I love him very dearly , but at times it is like having a child that is also responsible for giving you your kids. His excuse for not helping with the cleaning is that I do not like the way he does it. I am sure there are many women who understand. Then as a wife I am lover as well when he wants sex, I do not. When I want it he is too busy watching television. Now that you know a little about the wife I will introduce the next personality.

The Chef, I do not know about you , but in my home nobody can enter my kitchen but me to cook. I do not like going to people's houses for the holidays. I am the cook and even though it is very tiring I need to be the one displaying my talents in the kitchen. I know that woman are very territorially when it comes to the kitchen . But this is one of the thing that as a woman I value you myself upon. My husband loves how I cook, my kids do too. So even though we are not in the dark ages anymore , I do pride myself as a woman on how I cook and bake. I love to see my family enjoying my food. Time for the next personality that makes up the craziness you are witness too today.

The student, I am a full time Anthropology Major. I love to learn and to discover. I have always loved to learn. Boy do I enjoy having a good educated debate, watching a good documentary or writing a good paper for class. This is a part of me that few see. When you are at home , changing diapers, cleaning, and separating siblings fights, and cooking. There is little room for discussing third world cultures , or how evolution came about. The one thing that learning and majoring in Anthropology has shown me is that this struggle within me , is one that every women has faced in there lifetime. So even though I am tired , I am very proud to be a woman , as I have so much that makes me up as a whole , that there is never a boring moment in my mind.

A friend, I find hard to have many friends. They are liking having kids. Friends need your attention, and understanding. Which I have for them, but I am a mother , at times I can be too honest and let my friends know why they are miserable. On that note , it is so hard when a friend needs you and you barely have enough energy to even breathe much less talk the phone while you are cooking, and cleaning the living room at the same time. I know that I can multitask but are you serious. I can barely get by everyday in my own madness to add on the love problems and depression of a friend. That being said having friends is necessary to stay sane, as they to listen to you , and tell you that you are awesome and give you a good laugh when you talk about your husbands. So being a friend is a very necessary part of being a mother, wife, woman , etc.

The crazy side, yes I can admit I am crazy. At times I find myself so confused with my life that all I can do is cry. Then I go to the store and buy hair dye , dye my hair and then I dye back to my color. I go to the store and buy clothes I never where. My husband says that i find ways to spend money, he is right I do. When I feel like I can not hide anymore in this madness, there is no better feeling than going to a store walking around with a Starbucks in one hand and the shopping cart in another and finding useless stuff to buy. So I do not apologize for that , as I enjoy it. The one thing that I have learned is that it is OK to be a little wacky, emotional, and obsessive compulsive, I deserve it. After all I work my butt of everyday making everyone else happy and on my free time I try to find something that makes me happy. Because happiness will always be momentary. Life is full of happy moments and the rest is just work. So I rather be a nut ball with different sides of me so that when I am overwhelmed I can transform into a different personalty and do something that I enjoy and forget about everything else.
