Hello! :)

I've recently discovered blogging. I started reading blogs on myspace.com. I came across some really funny people and people who just went on about their own lives. I found it cool and addicting. I found myself thinking about what I could blog about. Do I want people reading my blogs? Would they be popular? Would they be stupid? Then, I thought....who really cares what other people think?? I want to blog for me. So I can ramble on and on about whatever I choose to. Isn't that just the coolest thing ever?

Okay, a little about me...

I'm a SAHM to 4 kids. My oldest 3 are 14, 7 and 8. My youngest is almost 11 months old. I love my kids. They are my life. I love watching them grow and learn. So far, they're really awesome kids and make good decisions. I'm not a spanker. I find other ways to make my kids miserable enough when they don't listen or clean their room or do what they're supposed to do. I'm not one to lose my temper. I'm very easy going. Probably too easy going.

I've been married for 9 years now. I lucked up on that one. It was just one of those things that happened and we were both blessed enough that we weren't psycho or anything. My husband and I got married 4 short weeks after we met. I knew right away that he was the one. I came from a very small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. It really sucked. At that time my parents had moved a state away and I was pretty much turned loose. I went wild. I partied hard. I had many boyfriends. Then, here steps in this hottie who asked me out and the rest is history. We saved each other.

I was a teen mom. I had my son when I was 16. The sperm donor is an absolute pussy. He sees my son, when my son actually makes the attempt to go out of state for that visit. Other than that, there is no contact whatsoever. It's actually fine with me. I'm so happy that my husband and my son have a good, close relationship. My husband and I have since had 3 little girls.

I'm almost 31 now and have finally grown up for the most part. I'm still a huge child at heart. I don't forget the small things in life. I don't stress the big things in life. I actually find myself stressing over things that I shouldn't (b-days, Christmas, holidays, family gatherings). I've recently learned a lot about these gift-giving days. I've learned to not stress as much!! We'll see how well I've learned this as the Christmas season comes closer.

I'm a chronic procrastinator. I procrastinate everything! I'm not lazy and am constantly doing things, but boy I let things slide too. My house isn't a mess. It is quite cluttered be/c it's small and doesn't have a lot of storage space (we bought a fixer-upper a couple years ago and have slowly been working on it). I just put off important things. Like bills. Calling family. Sending cards. I'm famous for putting things off until it cannot possibly be put off any longer. I'm one of those idiots out there on Christmas Eve finishing up my shopping. I've been in those stores when they were closing and trying to get people to leave. I'm a mess.

I really dislike my dog, but keep him be/c no one else would give him a good home. And I don't want to take him to the pound. And the JRT Rescue won't take him be/c they say it sounds like he has tempermental problems.....uh...ya think!!? What do I do with him??? I just don't know.

Hmmm...... I decided to blog in a different place other than myspace for a few reasons. The biggest reason is my friends and family. Sometimes a mom just has to say things and let things out that her son doesn't need to be reading. Or a daughter needs to vent about things in the past that her mom shouldn't read. Or the family of my son's who I haven't seen in 9 years doesn't need to be reading that I think their beloved sperm donor is a pussy. Or the friend that doesn't need to see how much a disagree with her parenting. See where I'm coming from? I started blogging to let out things that I can't really tell anyone else. And I've found myself several times having to hold back due to the readers. I don't like that.

So let's see where this leads me....
