Mom Rocks!!

Woohoo, it's not often that I hear one of my children utter that phrase, however, tonight at dinner time I rocked it!   I was being lazy really and didn't feel like cooking (look it's like 100* here, OK so only 90*, really what's ten degrees?), so I took some of our mini whole wheat bagels and made little cheese bagel pizzas.  I then took blueberries and gave the bagel's eyes, a nose with a strawberry and a mouth with more blueberries.  They thought that was the coolest...sometimes they can be so easy to please.      I so wish the whole day was as pleasant as dinner and now it's almost bed time...aaahhh then there will be silence (hopefully).

So, you must be wondering what would ever possess a mother of four to decide to blog (you know since I have soo much free time on my hands, NOT!)  Well, I am reading this book about training for a marathon (yes, you read that correctly, and that is a whole separate blog, LOL).  This women talks about her training and she is hysterical, she says that you should journal (or blog) your training...well why just journal my training, (which I'm quite sure will be comical), why not journal may day to day chaos called life.  You  know we always have those moments in life that we would love to share with others either because they are funny, a learning experience or for whatever other reason.  So here's my chance...kind of an open diary if you will.  Hey, and you know it's a great way to avoid those pesky household chores that are screaming at me, you know like the mountain of laundry that needs to be done!  

Well, on that note I am going to leave you for the day, don't worry I'll be back tomorrow (there's always laundry that needs avoiding around here), but right now I must go get my @$$ kicked by Jillian Michaels on the Wii! 

Have an outstanding evening....and God Bless! 

So the adventure begins...

Well actually it began many moons ago, but we are going to start with it today.  So here's a little background information to get you up to speed...

I married this amazing guy in May of 1997, who happens to be an officer in the United States Navy.  Really I always said I was never going to get married...he was able to knock my socks off and give me enough butterflies in my stomach to change my mind, and shoot convince me to move around the country with him (ok so we've been fortunate enough to not have to move to much thus far).  Again, hmph who would have thought I would have left the comforts of little ole' Clifton Park!!!  Well, so anyway, we got hitched in May of 97 and in June of 1998 we had our first child, a little girl, Nina (keep count that makes one).  We then had our second, a son in November of 2001, Michael (two).  In 2004 we had another little pink bundle of joy, Bella (yes, that makes three and yes we do know what causes this phenomenon) and at the end of 2005 another little blessing was born and we named her Angel (yep, our first mistake...as I'm sure you will read as time goes on), LOL!  So there you go...that's how I got to be a mommy of four and of course that's only if you do not count the husband, the two dogs, and the cat who thinks he is a dog...

So fast forward to today....June 9th, 2010 and a couple of weeks into summer break, 62 days till the wee ones go back to school (yes, I am counting) .  Don't get me wrong I love my children to death, but 24/7 with all four of them can be chaotic three ring circus at times...which can send mommy into something that is a cross between a frustrated and panicked crazy person.  I really think it's my OCD to want to be in control and have things be orderly and civil, two words that do not always mesh well with four children!  Now that we are all up-date...I need to get the kids lunch....before the drive me bonkers!
