Poo Poo...


ITS CHALLENGE TIME AGAIN
DAY 2- THE MEANING BEHIND YOUR BLOGGER NAME.


Well first off the kinda self explanatory part.


The Adventures of Momma...
As anyone who is a mom, has a mom, witnessed motherhood, 
(if you do not fall under one of those categories, who the heck are you?)
you know that being a momma is quite an adventure.  
I love being a mom.  When I was a teenager I had six different surgeries on my cervix and was told I would likely not be able to have children, I would get pregnant but wouldn't be able to carry to term.  I convinced myself that I didn't want any.  That I had spent my young life babysitting my brothers and was totally okay with not having kiddos.  I lied to myself a lot back then.


At the age of 19, when I met my husband, that changed. 
I was ready to be honest and admit to myself I wanted to be a wife, I wanted to be a mom. 


It has been the single greatest adventure of my life ♥


my babies. my handsome 8 year old, J. my sweet 3month old baby girl, B.  and marley too.


Now skip to the ...Loo.
When I was a baby I was nicknamed PooPoo.  Done giggling?  Okay good.
Somehow and very thankfully that turned into Pookie Poo.
From time to time by Mom calls me Pookie Poo but for the most part the only person who ever consistently called me Pookie Poo was my Granddaddy.  
I loved calling him and when he answered the phone he would so happily and lovingly say
"HEY POOKIE POO!"  
It warmed my heart like no other.  Still does.  I type this with a smile cause I can hear that sweet voice in my head.  I do not know who the first one to call me Looloo was to be completely honest.  It happened and it stuck sometime around 1995, I think.  
Merge the Momma and the Looloo and you have yourself


MommaLoo.


Thanks for reading and letting me share my Adventure with you.
and I thought this was going to be a short lil post.

CHALLENGE NUMERO UNO

Hitting a wall but I am trying to get past it and keep on blogging.  So...


ITS CHALLENGE TIME
DAY 1- A RECENT PICTURE OF YOURSELF AND 15 INTERESTING FACTS.




(i took this pic superbowl sunday, 3 days is recent enough)

I do not think I am that interesting.

I am cheap when it comes to spending money on myself. 
I REFUSE to buy myself stuff I admit I NEED.  Which led to...


I used to have a problem with shoplifting and went to therapy for it.

I actually have to put effort into being girly, shouldn't that just come natural??

I can be very ungrateful.  I am working on it.

I went to 11 different schools from K-12 before dropping out my senior year, and didn't  get my GED until I was 26.

I have tried almost every drug out there.


I love the sound of my voice when I am singing to my babies.

I lost my virginity at 13, which freaks me out cause I have a 14 year old stepdaughter.

I thought I was going to be a dance choreographer when I grew up.  Now, I only dance in my kitchen.

I eloped but kept it secret til I found out I was preggers with my son.  I had to tell everyone "I'm pregnant but its cool cause I have been married for months!"  :)


I use a fork and knife to cut my hot pockets then eat them with my fingers.  


I am TERRIFIED of snakes.  
I've had a reoccurring nightmare of being in my Pawpaws boat and being surrounded by a sea of snakes.


I have never been further North than the Mason-Dixon line.  Ever.  


I apparently do not know the meaning of 'challenge' cause I totally thought this would be easier.
