So here goes my try at blogging. I'm sure this will be a rambling, hard to follow, often boring attempt. ( much like me) But maybe once in awhile I'll entertain you with the mundane. I am a Mommy of three young humans and two canines. I love books. I live in my Mayberry... and things arent always as they seem. I am always a day late, a dollar short, and a complete disorganized mess. Its fun. And it sure is fun to watch.
So I may have mentioned that I am back at it. My home now houses three more ankle biters under the age of four each weekday, plus one more a few days a week. Plus their older brother comes for a half hour after school. I know it sounds crazy, but my boys go to school at 8. Sophie goes at 12:30, and these kids are such well behaved, sweet little buggers! Their big brother was with me from infancy till nearly four years old, so they are all family to us!
Funny thing is, unlike my own kids most days, they really seem to like me! They think Im a great cook. My kids swear I am, but consistently stick up their noses at my offerings.... They love to dance, and will even try to learn the hustle, the bop, the twist and the running man. They think I'm funnier than Chris Rock I tell ya! Grease is the word in this house, play it and baby booties will shake. And in case you were wondering, I'm like the best singer-EVER! Ask the Wee Ones!
Our days consist of mealtimes and diaperings, of course. ( I don't even mind. I thought once mine were finally out of diapers I'd never want to go back!) Stories, games, walks and lots of music. And all kinds of music, classical at naptime, with the occasional Sade. Beatles everyday because they help kids grow. At least thats my theory. Some Laurie Berkner, some Springsteen, whatever Im feeling....Yes Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brother too. Thats what THEY like. I'm fair. And lots of fresh air and playiing with Blue and Harleigh. Do you know any other dogs that let kids ride them or sleep on them? Thats Blue! Or a pampered Shih Tzu who has no qualms being pushed around in a stroller? Harleigh. The Trampoline is a big hit. As are walks to Arkport Cycles. The boys love the Vroom Vrooms. And the girls really like the Vespa we saw there, and the Snowmobiles. Thats what we call them, we don't care what Palin calls them.
I'm a little more tired at the end of the day. But I'm a whole lot more fulfilled. I get hugs and kissed on the way out the door. And they LOVE me. That makes it worthwhile. I'm helping a family I love, and it's helping my family. Am I getting rich? No. I don't need to get rich, my life is rich, my cup runneth over.
I love my big, daytime family. And they are beckoning right now!
And the best thing is:- if they behave badly you can always give them back. Love the sound of the dogs, they remind me of the oddites of my bunnies. One thinks she's a labrador (thanks to an ex boyfriend) and the other thinks shes a human and crys for attentiuon or 'Merps' (the only decription of the sound) if shes annoyed. And still they're the sanest thing in my life!!! x
On your last comment I suppose its possible, though the only people in Wales who know are myself, my Doctor and the Midwife so it seems unlikely. Maybe your right though, still I just think she's nuts. Sidebar his sisters let slip that she's bought me make-up for Christmas, I don't wear it, haven't ever worn it and as it aggravates my eczema. She also sends Christmas cards to my family, whom she's never met. Mad seems to be my conclusion. But then I'm biased.
