Here We Go

(So, a blog.  Here goes nothing....) 

I find myself in need of a place to share my philosophical musings, my intellectual dilemmas, my cures for the world's woes.   OR  I need somewhere to flip my shit when life is pissing me off and kids are driving me nuts and I look like a crazy lady venting to my cat.  Especially because I don't have a cat.  I have a dog, but I can see the judgment in her eyes when I try to confide in her. 

I have seven children (not a typo) and two step children.  I am on marriage number 2, and while I should've known what I was getting into this time, sometimes I'm still shocked.  We have a crazy busy life, lots of sports, school activities, and wine drinking.  That last one is mostly me.  But drinking wine isn't all I do; I also drink coffee and go on FaceBook and Twitter and read lots of blogs. Oops, that was a typo; I meant I also cook and clean and pay bills and drive the kids everywhere.  Actually, I do all of those things, hence my need for a venting space, a place to blurt it all out and free my mind of the stuff that swirls around in there and clogs up my thoughts.  You know, a cerebral blocked drain. This blog can be like Drano.

I am an extreme a bit of a perfectionist, and a wicked sort of control freak, so it's going to be hard for me not to continuously re-read my posts to the point where I think everything sucks and just delete it all.  But I've learned from reading other blogs and pages that I am actually not the only one who is insane stressed out and sometimes reading other people's verbal diarrhea can be helpful. We're all in this together right?  Hello??

Ah, well.  Anyway.  I'm a little sarcastic, a little random, kind of emotional, and a bit all over the place.  I may post stories, rants, praises, jokes, questions, who knows.... But let's just jump in!
