Friday, May 21st

Well... here we go. I guess I should first introduce you to my family. My husband is Matt, 30 years old, and works for the railroad... My oldest is Avery, 6 years old, 2nd oldest is Emily, 5 years old, then Kaitlyn, who is almost 3 and finally Madelyn who is 18 months old.

Today was a lazy day... M has been sleeping with me since I kicked hubby out of my room. I have been having major self esteem issues and he has been having no problem talking about my neighbors new boobs, I can't be initimite with him without wishing my boobs were like hers. So, out of my room he went to sleep with K. M has sleep issues and didn't fall asleep until after 2... and I use that time to catch up with my BFF on the phone... yep, we chat til about 1 or 2 am every day. So, I got A&E dressed and ready for school and sent them on their merry way... as soon as they were gone I crawled back into bed with M. Hubby stayed in and made breakfast for K - but I was still rudely awoken at 10am because K kept telling him that she was allergic to milk, eggs, and butter? Ah, kids! So, I got up and had a piece of cake for breakfast... K asked me why I was eating cake for breakfast and I could think of was "because I'm the mom" - I have decided to make that the slogan of my life... so now, here I am, trying to be a happy housewife and clean, but I have no interest - I want to be in my room on my computer. Facebook is my life, and I am so jealous of people with 1 or 2 children who can find sitters and the blink of an eye... and then post about how wonderful their weekly day at the spa is going... I can honestly say I feel rage when I read that... My hubby says I need to quit facebook, but I love knowing what everyone is doing, especially the big busted neighbor. She has weekly massages and facials, hair appointments every 2 weeks and the biggest most hideous boobs ever, and I mean porn star hideous... plus she isn't teeny tiny so she looks like a root beer barell. Oh no, she has even taken over my blog! Sorry about that - and while I have been going on M has opened nail polish remover and spilt it all over my ancient red carpet ... could this be a reason for new floors? Stay tuned for my next blog!

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have been told that I have no life, and do nothing productive during the day so here is my new hobby. I am a 28 year old mom of four girls. Never did I think I would be a mother to four children. I wanted a career - I wanted out of this small town. I originally wanted to become a veterinarian, I was ready to head out to Texas A&M University and all. However, my senior year of high school changed my life. I met my husband and decided to stay nearby. I settled for a nearby school and chose my majors way to often. I ended up with a Bachelors of Social Work which was basically a degree that entitled me to work my life away for little pay. I received my degree when my 1st daughter was 5 months old, I was also pregnant with my 2ND daughter. Soon after my 2ND was born I received a degree in Education and became certified to teach. That is what I did until I was surprised with pregnancy #4. My life is crazy and emotional. My family is not conventional, we fight and cuss... but at the end of the day, we do love each other. Our lives have ended up very different than we could have ever imagined. I am an only child and this is all so different... I have no experience with kids beating the crap out of each other - but hey, it's a journey and I would love to share the journey with you! Please join me as I start capturing this journey via blog - there are 4 school days left, so I promise you this won't be dull! Again, thanks for joining me!
