Getting back into the groove.

Introduction.

Tired Mom: I am a mom of 3 kids and they are my everything. I live for them and have a hard time thinking of myself. Here I go again....now I will talk about me. I have a chronic illness that puts me under the covers for a few days a month it seems. I keep my chin up and don't let it win and I never will. It hasn't been definately pinpointed yet but after 6 years of investigations and multiple diagnosis' it seems the docs may be settleing on lupus. Whatever. It doesn't change anything. As long as I'm here to love and raise my kids into amazing human beings I am happy. As long as I put one foot in front of the other through this adventure I will kick lupus' ass.

The Man: Husband of mine for many years. He is the funniest man I know and has the kids laughing non stop when he's not tired. He keeps humour around the house and we'll keep him. Although our six year old says even if we argue once a week we should get a divorce because we fight too much. hmmmm I think she just wants to play us off eachother.

The Teen: 15 and crazy for girls. He is the amazing child that made my dream of becoming a mother come true. I'll keep him too. He can be a true grump and a true friend. I could never imagined how amazing he would have turned out. That doesn't mean he behaves all the time. He can be defiant and rude just like any teen but we are happy if that's all we have to deal with.

The Pre Teen: Or maybe we should call her fashion queen. Amazing child has thrown us for a loop for years now. Has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and we are working through it the best we can. She is doing well and handling the meds as well as to be expected.

The Youngest One: Spirited and adventurous. She is our fun loving free as a bird crazy girl. Loves hard, plays hard and does nothing half way. Everything is all the way for this girl. Unending beauty and radiance.

The Lion: The Dog of our dreams. Listens and pays attention to everything you say or do.

The Bear: Maybe we should call her princess. She thinks she is a human who needs softness and pillows and couches to sleep on. Oh and she won't pee on wet grass. Yeh we're not happy about it.

The Cat: From Hell. This cat is not liked by many in our house. We keep him around so he can continue to abuse us and our children as dutiful pet owners. What the hell is wrong with us? We are broken!

There are fish and that's all I have to say about that.
