Well, this will be my first blog post. I figure everyone else has a blog, so why not? I thought "Heaven Gone a Little Haywire" was appropriate for me, because my world rests in this blender of kids, and family, and work, and friends, with a few diapers, speedbumps, ex-spouses, and random rants thrown in. Overall it truly is Heaven on Earth for me. I've never been happier, but unfortunately I think that makes the "speedbumps" that much harder to take, because I don't want anything to threaten the place I'm finally at in my life, which then leads to the rants, and so on and so forth. Anywho...that explains my title. Things are pretty much always at least a little chaotic here, but I'm learning to embrace it, or at least trying to learn to embrace it, and overall it's pretty darn wonderful, and I definitely feel blessed to be me.
Here's the basic breakdown: Married right after college...two wonderful kids...realized being great friends does not a marriage make...split on good terms...fell in love with my boss...got us both fired because of it (hehehe, darn)...remarried, 2 stepkids in tow...started our own business...baby arrived...business is thriving...new baby on the way bringing our grand total of kids to SIX, 5 of which are BOYS. Whew. God works in mysterious ways and I'm realizing that my blessings might not come in the pretty little packages that I'd like them to, but they still come, and I'm so thankful for that. It might not be everyone's ideal situation, but when I close my eyes at night to fall asleep, everything feels pretty ideal to me.
So...who knows what I might write? I surely don't. And who knows if anyone will read it anyway? Sometimes I have a lot to say though so if nothing else, I find this therapeutic. And I'm sarcastic...and conservative...I'm loving...I'm a Mom...I'm a New Kids on the Block fan now and forever...I'm a Christian...and I get angry...and I may go off on some weird tangent from time to time, but I'm me, and I promise to share whatever interesting (to me) tidbits are occupying my mind at any given time. In addition, I've got about a thousand humorous (let me stress in HINDSIGHT) stories from my childhood, that if no one else, my brother should appreciate, so stay tuned:)
