My family is nuts.
That's the short version. I have made a habit of sharing our wild and crazy moments on Facebook and I was encouraged to compile those recorded moments and write a book. Well, I have non-committal tendencies, so as a precedent to a book I chose to begin a blog. As I am sure you can relate, in the moment, none of those typically inopportune, chaotic incidents are funny; but in retrospect, I have to say that I find myself going back more than once to read my Facebook posts about my family. More often than not, I realize how hilarious my life really is some days.
I won't try to convince you that I am a great housewife. (I'm not.) I won't imply that my life is perfect. (It's not.) I won't showcase only the best and perfect moments of our lives to make you think I've got my junk together. (I don't.) What I see is what you'll get - a bunch of imperfect people scrambling around trying to figure life out and not get electrocuted, clotheslined, hot-wheeled (what happens when you step on a stray car), lego-ed (I think this one is self-explanatory), or left at school until 5:40 p.m. by accident....
I'm kind of excited about this!
About My Kids
All four of my children are different. They like different things, they feel differently about things, they react differently, they all have different levels of energy and ways of releasing that energy. Several things are true about all of them though.
- Each one of them is genuinely, irreversibly, and completely loved.
- Each one of them is a precious, individual gift from our Creator.
- Each one of them knows how important they are to this family as a whole.
I hope you will enjoy these little peeks into our mostly comic, but sometimes serious lives. What can I give you? Hopefully a concoction of a little perspective, a little encouragement, and some laughs for the perfect finish.
