This is the life!

Welcome to my blog! Ahhh... my first post! So, I created this blog to share my thoughts and see whether others experiences are similar to my own. I am a working mom of 4! My #1 job is Mommy, but I do work outside the home to provide for my family. Making ends meat is hard in today's economy, so outside I must go! I miss them so much! But, my mom watches my kids, bless her heart! We would not have 4 if it weren't for her. I get frustrated with her sometimes, and then I remind myself that she is responsible for my life and the life of my children. As crazy as that is, she brought me life and has now made it possible for me to bring life to my children! She is also joy in our lives. Wow! Never thought I would say that. Her birthday is coming, maybe I should tell her! See how therapeutic this blog is becoming and it just started! I love it!

So how is life with 4 kids and working outside the home. Crazy! Oh, I also volunteer for the PTO, coach youth soccer, set up play dates, cook, and clean (once in a while). Pretty much I go, go, go 24 hours a day. I am going in my sleep. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and think about what I need to do the next day or what I have forgotten to put in a backpack for the next morning. Did I remember to buy everything at the grocery store Sunday? Who has show and tell this week? Did the kids do all their H.W.? Did I sign the reading calendar? Did I pick up the dry cleaning? No! I have to go do that. Did I RSVP to that birthday party?

So that is it in a nut shell, a little background to get you started. I can't wait to jump right in. My goal is to post once a week on topics that come to mind. We will see! It is a goal. And I have a lot of goals!
