First off, I'm a mom and wife. Pretty common around these parts and other places I hear. I have five children. Three who came from my womb and two others who have grown a place in my heart. Here's where people throw themselves to their knees and ask me how I do it...they are all boys. Yes, I know it's common to have all the same gender children. Only thing is others can't believe between my husband and I, we have yet to have a girl.
Our blended family is a whirlwind of testosterone induced fart noises (real and/or mouth made), video game addictions, boogers, baby laughs, sarcasm, music, quotes my husband says coming from every which way and most importantly love. See they may not get it yet but one day they will all be the best of friends, uncles to each others children and something to each other that I never had. I'm an only child who really wanted someone to hate, love and grow up with. I have always wanted a large family...always. Even though these boys are...well boys, they still are sentimental in their own ways like me. I want them to always look out for each other and be each other's wing man. My husband and I know the important roll we have. We are here to help raise good men. Our lives are them and even though some live for other things, we live for the five of them.
Meeting my husband was nothing short of God planned, I absolutely know that. He is me in male form...a little different in our hobbies, but one in the same. He was a single father, spending every bit of time he had to enrich and fulfill his boys lives. I was a single mom doing the absolute same. I am broken without him. He is an amazing father with so much talent and charisma. He may deny every time I tell him he is one of a kind, but he knows it's true. I'm sorry but men are only made like him maybe a few hundred years. If our children can be exactly like him...well I know we have done our jobs.
These clever boys I talk about are 10, 10, 6, 4 and 1. We have the big boys and baby X. Laying in bed at night with my husband and him is one of my favorite things in this world. I never have had the opportunity to have a baby with such a involved father. I think it was so natural to want a baby with my husband. It really would not be the same without the sweet half toothless grin we get to share together. I'm fortunate to have found the man just for me at a young age. We could have met as old widows with mediocre lives and not much happy stories to tell. The one thing I've always hoped for in life was a companion to spend the rest of my days finding joy in the littlest things. I have that now.
What I hope to accomplish when writing this blog is a sense of peace. Writing has always been my passion. I have all these ideas in my head and I hope this will give me the feeling of the release I crave. I have written a few short children stories which have now been misplaced and forever forgotten in my mind. Text will be forever ...it can be erased, yes, but I feel that maybe I should try and have something generations can always see. Even if my writing goes nowhere...It is something that I will always long to do.
This blog will hold many things, including recipes, collections of mine, ideas, complaints and everything else that I just can't think of at this moment. Enjoy!
