This is me, this is who I am

Hello! I am Faith, a 30 year old woman (yes, I did allow myself to turn the dreaded 30!), Mother to 4 children, Caleb, London, Annabelle, & Kingston; 3 boys & 1 girl. I married the love of my life in 2004. He, Dave, is a great source to my insanity. We live in my hometown in Kansas. I decided to start this blog because for starters who in today's society doesn't have a blog and well, with 4 children ages 8-infant, a husband, & 2 dogs in my life there is a lot of entertainment to be had! You remember the old show "Everybody Loves Raymond" and how his parents lived right next door to them, well, my parents are our neighbors! Poor husband, right, the in-laws right next door! It seems to work for us, though. Although, my Mom did just walk in on my husband pooping with the bathroom door open! Funny, right!

I am a pretty modern Mom learning as I go. Caleb, our oldest, is our test everything out on child, but isn't that the case with all eldest. We are great pros at parenting for our youngest and newest son, (seeing as we had 3 test babies before him), Kingston, he is just 3 months old. So far our children have turned out pretty well, yes, that is me patting myself on the back! This parenting gig is rough at times. For example, this morning I received the always fun phone call from the Principle (let me say I really do like my children's principle but it's never good to see the Elementary School is calling it either means A)your child is sick or B)your child is in the oh so scary Principle office) anyways the phone call has now resulted in my husband & I having to sit our 8 year old down and having the sex talk tonight! I have been looking for a big rock to hide under all morning! The SEX TALK! Eight years old! When I was eight I was playing with barbies! Kids now-a-days! It's not so much S!E!X!, but more this is your body parts and this is a girl's body parts, but still my face is already 50 shades of red! Believe me that will be it's on blog post! 

Not only am I busy non-stop except from 1-3 in the afternoon cause I clock out and nap! Naps are a vital necessity to any Mother, or at least this Mother if my family wants to live in a happy harmony, or just live period! Anyways, I have started a "lifestyle change" oh who I am kidding, I just want to have the body back that I had at 19 when I thought I was fat, HA!!!!!! I will be doing blogs about my weight loss and how much I miss my beloved sprinkle coated donuts! And how much I hate exercise! 

I should mention my son, London, will be a huge source of your entertainment as this child really does say the darnest things!  And is my child that test all corners of parenthood! It's a good thing God gave him these big brown eyes that melt a person's heart or else his life spam would be short lived (just kidding). But seriously, he will be the child that gives me grey hairs but yet, again no one will ever know it cause I will die with dyed hair! 

And with the one daughter, let's face it, she's spoiled! PINK everything! I'm trying my hardest to install anything and everything girly into her before I lose her to her brothers and Daddy, which will happen, I  am not that stupid, she'll be a tom-boy, and yes, I will love her to pieces as I still try to force her into dresses instead of gym shorts!

Now we are to the youngest, our big SURPRISE BABY! OOPS! Did that test really just show 2 pink lines! Well, shit! It did! And now we have our Kingston! I couldn't imagine my life without him, but he is the LAST baby that will be coming out of my vagina! I made sure of that when I sent the hubby off to get snipped when The King (yes that's what I call Kingston) was only 5 weeks old! This boy is so different from my other children, but yet again I think it's cause Dave & I treat him differently. We know he is the last and we are treating him as such. Stay a BABY! Dang it! 

So as you see this is me, this is who I am. Stick around and enjoy my life on planet mom!
