Well, I guess that depends who you talk to… The basic run-down goes like this…

I am a 30+ year old wife of J and mother of Ty (4 y/o) and Toby (3 y/o). I have been a full time step-mother to A (10 y/o) for 7 years. I am a SAHM and struggling freelancer that currently resides in Florida albeit my heart resides somewhere more mountainous and with seasons.

I have a lot of crap going on inside my head. A lot. On going debates, to do lists, worries, things to analyze, goals, and ideas. I have to get them out somewhere and here we are. Lucky you! Sharing a little crazy with me.

In all the free time I have between running my kids all over the face of the earth (which is like none), I read (at stoplights) and experiment with making “green” beauty and cleaning items (child labor -I make them help). Another quest I am on, besides becoming more sustainable, is living debt-free (yes, it is possible!).  I also enjoy cooking new recipes and usually have a few sewing projects in the bag.

Previous to switching my career to full time mom, I have held jobs as a school integration counselor, a domestic violence counselor, and a headstart mental health counselor. After getting burnt out on counseling, I went back to school and got my certificate in Human Resources and became a Labor Law Specialist.

Someday when I am all grown up and my kids attend school full time, I will go back to work on a regular part time basis. Unless, I somehow am discovered as the next famous writer. Then I will just continue to drink wine and eat bon-bons all day and write for a few hours here and there. (just smile and nod; it’s not worth debating)

This is my 3rd blog. They say three is a charm and so far it appears to be true. I started my first blog as a wee blogger on MSN a few years back, but had a lot of issues with them and switched to blogger (Mum’s Mayhem). I stayed there until my life just seemed to be too personal to share and my time seemed too limited to spend. Then I changed my mind. Which almost never happens. Riiiight!

I love sarcasm and disperse it freely throughout my life and writing. Everything I say should not be taken as face value, a little bit of common sense and intelligence is required. So with this being said, leave me a comment with a little blurb about you…

Today is one of those days where I start my day as a half full balloon. (Notice I didn’t say half empty?) I have very little air in me to begin with and a lot of fatigue. As the day goes on and I encounter the relentless “Whys?” “Can I have, can I, can I” and “I want it nows!”

More air escapes with the horrible noise that typical balloons make. As unpleasant to my ears are the constant barrage of questions, my responses are even worse to my kids. I don’t like the sound but yet I don’t have the energy to not whine back- “Why can’t you just wait a minute- why? why? why!?” (because I am 2/3 and a minute is like 10 years for me and I am use to you making me a pbj, changing the channel, pouring milk and talking on the phone all at one time. Why is today any different?)

Because, my Precious Little Angel, today, mummy is experiencing one of her oh-so-glorious, daddy-doesn’t-dare-come-home-from-work hormonally imbalanced days and if I hear you screech one more order at me then I will be forced to duck tape you to the couch with Twizzlers shoved in your mouth (they do make a mouth happy, don’t they?) while watching continuous viewings of The Wonder Pets. During which time Mummy will be laying on her bed drinking coffee, trying to get some strength back and watching A Baby Story laughing at the idiots who will soon be in for the rude awakening of what having kids is really like…. if they only new….

Note: Even though no children would actually be harmed in the above-mentioned scenario described, please do not try this at home.
