Day 1 of catching up with my life!

So, I am just starting this blog today. I have so many thoughts that pass through my mind each day. I just think it will be great to share them. I read so many blogs each day, I am not sure why I haven't started blogging before now.

First of all, I will tell you a little about my life....READY?!

I am 28, married, mother of two and ttc #3. I divorced seven years ago and just remarried Feb of this year. I have a wonderful husband that irritates me daily!

I have a son that will be 8 next month. He brings me so much joy and at the same time, so much stress. I will blog about him later! LOL

My daughter will be 7 next month. Both of my children are May babies. She is amazing, smart, and beautiful. Very easy child to parent.

I am an at home child care provider of between 4 and 6 children daily under the age of 3. I love my job, love being able to be here when my kids get home from school but it can be very stressful at times.

My home is my castle! I take pride in it and love being in it most all the time.

So why am I blogging? Well, like the title of my blog, I feel like life passes by so quickly and so many things happen throughout just one day that I am not taking the time to reflect on these things and write them down to remember them. If I write them for everyone to see, maybe someone will get a laugh or maybe they will feel like they are not the only mom in the world that is running around like a chicken with her head cut off...

Today, I have four kids in my home, my son has a dr. appt at 2 and a chiropractor appt at 4 and a baseball game at 6. My daughter has a softball game at 6 also but it is in a different town. Somehow I am going to take care of four children that do not belong to me, pick my son up from school, pick up my husband's Rx, take my son to the dr. then take him to the chiropractor then make a snack for 15 girls from ages 5-8 and then take my daughter to her softball game. Ex-husband is going to help in taking my son to his game!

Now I sit here and decide if I am ready for my day....
Am I going to be too busy to kiss my husband when he gets home from work? What about my kids, are they going to get their afternoon snack? What about dinner? When and how and who? Do my kids feel the pressure that I feel on days like today? Is that healthy? Is there a way that I can make it fun instead of stressful? Oh, did i mention that I coach my daughter's softball team so on top of going to her game, I am in the dugout telling 15 girls where and when to be where they need to be. All the while, they have helmets on and I have to try to tell them apart and not mix up their names. (We all know that 6 yr olds get offended if they are mistaken for someone else!)

Well...Here's what I think:
I will kiss my husband....at least before bed! LOL probably on our drive to the game.
My kids will get their afternoon snack because I made it this morning and will have it sitting out for them after school. (don't forget to take my son's with me when I pick him up early from school for the dr. appt)
Dinner...Got that in the crock pot already
The pressure, yes my kids feel it but it's life, it's life being a mom! I have to take deep breaths and have as much fun as possible.
The coaching part, so much fun! Better then sitting in the bleachers and wishing my daughter would watch the ball coming at her! LOL
The girls, well I will try my hardest to get their names right and if I don't I will make sure to compliment them a little extra!
Then we will be home around 8 to eat and fall asleep by 9!

This is my first blog...hope you enjoyed...I will be writing more and more....Have a great day!
