Welcome to Colors are Crap. I’m so glad you found me!
I ‘m Wendy, aka Supermom (not even close), Perfect Coach’s Wife (nope), Chef Extraordinaire (LOL!), Teacher (actually true) and Queenie (to my nieces, nephews, and a 5-year-old brother).
I live in South Texas with the man of my dreams whom occasionally makes me want to throat punch him. Together, we have three amazing kids, until they’re not, and dogs that sometimes pee on the floor. There are stains on my carpets not necessarily caused by the dogs that I cannot get out and have no idea where from where they originated.
What’s in a Name?
The curious name of this blog, Colors Are Crap, comes from my middle child. (Isn’t it always the middle child!) When Cheston was almost four years old, he and I were hanging out on the couch of the condo we were spending the week at waiting for it to cool down so we could head to the pool. Using the time as a teachable moment, I decided to practice colors with him. I picked out a green area on the book that sat on the coffee table and pointed to it asking him what color it was. Barely sparing the color a glance, he replied, “I don’t know. Colors are crap!” I knew then that our life would be an interesting journey with that one! On a positive note, he did learn his colors. WIN!
What Can I Do for You?
You’re probably thinking, “What the heck can she help me with if her husband isn’t perfect, her kids are sometimes spoiled, entitled brats, her dogs will never be ready for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and her house is not spotless?”
Well, being OK with all the crap that seems to be a constant source of I-suck-as-a-human syndrome is how I want to help. (By the way, I just made that up; it’s not a real medical condition.) We look around and think everybody else is doing it better. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s just a bunch of BS. Let’s own the fact that we will never be perfect. What we can do is try to turn what we perceive as negative into something positive, and I hope this quirky little blog can help.
We will have some honest conversations about our struggles and how we get through them. The goal is to accomplish this with smiles and laughter, but if there are a few tears, that’s OK, too. You know what goes well with tears? WINE! Actually, that’s not a great example. I have found that wine pairs excellently with all emotions. Anyway, we can figure out a way to deal with the tears.
Thanks for stopping by.
