The Definition Of CRAZY!

While contemplating the "title" of my blog I was faced with a few challenges.  First I had to figure out what I wanted to share with everyone, and second I had to figure out just how to say it!  A common occurrence for me, whatever the reason I often find myself tongue tied or in this case I guess you would call it writers block.  Feeling certain, confident, and clear in my mind, but garbled, jumbled, and confusing on paper.  This of course brings forth the question of weather my thoughts are indeed option A or (the less favorable of the two) option B!

Having never "blogged" before I find the whole process enlightening and liberating!  A small space to make the statement "THIS IS WHO I AM AND WHAT I AM ABOUT!" It is defining, enlightening, and liberating for someone who spends their every waking, and YES even sometimes sleeping, moments caring for others!

When choosing the title "A Crazy Momz Blog"  of course I was faced with the TRUE definition of crazy.  Is it BAD to be crazy?  What exactly does it mean to be crazy?  I have always seen crazy with a fork in the road.  To the right you have the "bad" definition of crazy which involved mental hospitals, insanity, and a snug fitting white jacket. To the left you have the "good" definition of crazy which involves individuality, excitement, and an eccentricity that others admire!

My quest for the truth of course led me to the CLEAR and convincing resource of what crazy is.....yes none other then the dictionary! Where I found this:

 cra·zy  (krz)adj. cra·zi·er, cra·zi·est

1. Affected with madness; insane.

2. Informal Departing from proportion or moderation, especially:

a. Possessed by enthusiasm or excitement: The crowd at the game went crazy.

b. Immoderately fond; infatuated: was crazy about boys.

c. Intensely involved or preoccupied: is crazy about cars and racing.

Ignoring option 1 and skipping over to option 2 I don't perceive being crazy as a bad thing!  I mean what mom shouldn't be "Possessed by enthusiasm or excitement" or "immoderately fond" and "Intensely involved".  I've honestly never thought it an insult being called crazy, but upon further investigation I have a clearer awareness and understanding of what crazy genuinely involves, and now I count it a compliment.

I am possessed by enthusiasm and excitement, immoderately fond, and infatuated, as well as intensely involved with my children and family!  I AM a CRAZY MOM and super proud of it!!

Are there any other crazy Momz out there?  If so the next time someone tells you that you are crazy I encourage you to respond  with a smile and sincere  "Thank You!"
