I am not sure if I should welcome you or warn you.....? =D

What is this about!?
This blog is exactly going to be what the title says, "Diary of a Mom Gamer."
I am a mom before I am a gamer, but I do identify with both labels if I were to be asked.
I will be blogging about my day just as I would in a diary, which is something I have NEVER successfully done! I have bought MANY MANY awesome and beautiful journals that lay on my shelves and collect dust. I always have great expectations but my follow through sucks! It totally sucks! I will be using "emojis" and "lol's" in my blogging because this is going to be a conversation. I will not be striving for approval or to fit in per usual so lower your expectations please :P I will not being aiming my topics to please an audience, as far as I am concerned I am my audience:) This is many things to me. It is part of a goal of mine to blog on a regular basis no matter how much or how little, but to actually stick to my goal. It is also to act as a net for my crazy mommy brain. I have so many thoughts that fly around my day and I think, AH! I would love to write about that, but I never make the time. It is also a way to offer others like me a place to share and grow. We are not perfect. I will not attempt to be. You will not always agree with me or identify with me, but we are all human and no matter the amount of differences that seem to separate us we can always connect on some level with another human being, even if that similarity is that we need oxygen to survive ;)
This is my project. This is my diary of a Mom Gamer and I welcome you to join me on my daily opinions, adventures, and nonsense.

Boring Ole Me.
Welcome to my mommy brain! A place I spend most of my time pondering all of things I could do if I had more time, and by time I mean time, energy, patience and 13 clones.... I am a dime a dozen. There are many like me! Male and female versions of myself are wandering out there among all of you and you have no idea! We are wearing our childrens breakfast on our shirt... no really ... we are! We hide our stains behind patterned shirts and we hide our exhaustion behind caffeine. We have adapted, we have molded ourselves into beings who live to make our families safe and happy and who still enjoy squeezing in hobby time whenever there is a few moments left untouched by "adulting". We feel our luckiest when we get to wear matching socks. We use baby wipes to clean "all of the things". We speak our own secret language and bitch about what cartoon characters we would like to set on fire if we could. We piss off our single friends daily because we can't fit them into our world like we used too, and that includes in game and out of game in a lot of situations. We deal with an abundance of opinions from family and strangers on how we should raise our kids during the day and ninja AFK while we tuck our kids into bed at night.

First off, let me dazzle you with my boring "about me" section:
I am a mom of two toddlers.
My daughter , we shall call her baby Moon, she is turning 3 next month.
My son, we shall call him baby Sun, he is turning 2 in September.
I am a stay at home mom, or as my mother likes to say, I am a "DOMESTIC ENGINEER".
I do like that title better.
I have known my husband for 16 years, dated him for 10 years, and we have been married for 4.
I left my job of 8 years going on a little over a year ago to stay home with both of our kids. My husband and I felt it was the best decision for all of us because we felt like utter crap missing our family time due to our crazy work schedules. We were pretty much just paying for strangers to watch our children. We decided to take the leap and could swing it financially by making huge cut backs and my husband has to soak up as much overtime as he can , but in the end we are happier for it and feel blessed we are even able to do it at all.
I say we are blessed because I pray. I pray because I love God. I love My God. My God is bad ass and loves everyone. I have been lifted out of some shitty dark times by the hand of My God.
I am a night owl Dirty Casual gamer who enjoys World of Warcraft and Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone.
I love my coffee and tea by day and my economy size boxed Moscato at night!
I like people. I love nice people. I am entertained by funny assholes. I am allergic to egotistical people.
I use my bra to hold random articles throughout the day like baby monitors, anything I come across that may be a choking hazard to my small kids (until I make my way to a garbage) and sometimes the last granola bar I had to hide quickly because my daughter heard the wrapper! You know you have done it, and if you haven't you will now !


First Entry: July 25, 2015 

Well I just put the kids down for their nap. I try to get them to nap at the same time everyday after Mr. Sky goes to work, so I can either clean up the house , take a nap if I feel like a mombie zombie, or so that I can sneak in some gaming. Today I chose gaming. I logged into to my Main on Hyjal Alliance ( I am looking to re-home her as Hyjal alliance is DEAD compared to the Horde Side.) The servers were crashed for Hyjal so chalk that up to my luck lol. I then decided to level my level 91 Night Elf Hunter that I play in Rebels of Azeroth on Draenor. I quested a bit but then I totally getting off track ( like I do) when I aggro-ed a wolf and found myself running in a figure 8 from the wolf purely out of curiosity of how long he would keep following me. This is exactly why I suck at leveling but excel at goofing off :) I did manage to get a screenshot of what I thought was a gorgeous area covered with flowers but then noticed a wolf scratching and pawing at a dead wolf behind me.... lol Wierd Photo Bomb ftw!

Well, wouldn't you know it? I set down to start my new blog and both of my babes wake up EARLY. Any other day, you know when I am cleaning, they will sleep for at-least 2 hours lol.
Time to put on a second pot of coffee!
Esme out!

  1. Loving your blog! Came across it on twitter and so glad I did! You're spot on about life as a mummy gamer, squeezing in some WoW between cleaning, feeding, clearing up, playtime.... Not very often in other words but such fun when it happens! Will be keeping up with your adventures (when I can!)
