Introduction

Well I am a stay at home mommy of four. Thats right, four kids! Three boys and one girl. I don't know who to feel sorry for the most. The boys are ages 9, 3 and 2 months. The 9 year old will be called "Red", the 3 year old will be called "Dude" and the 2 months old will be called "Prince". The lone girl of the bunch is 5 and we shall call her "Diva". The man of the house will be called "Dragon" and I am "Angel".
Now you have met my family. You will read lots on us and get to know us probably in ways that you never imagined. There is never a dull moment in our lives. Well perhaps when we are sleeping. Life is one big journey full of surprises and neat things around every corner. There are times when it seems that the roller coaster we are on has plummetted to the ground with no sight of track to be found. Those are the moments that I hope to be able to find the memory in it and look back at fondly.
I stuggle as a parent and a person for that matter to let go of some anger stemmed from my childhood. I can honestly say that I don't cry over my childhood any longer, but I still hold some anger though I have tried to let it go. As a parent who never had parents growing up I am doing a self taught lesson that a lot of times I truly believe that I have failed the test. I guess I am doing something right though because the kids still love me and still smile and give me hugs.
With four children, two in school, we have a very busy household. If there is nothing scheduled then Dragon will find something to do. He is one who does not like to just "veg-out" and if it is a weekend he firmly believes that the kids should be outside unless it is raining. We aren't married, but we plan to fix that real soon. We have been together for 2 years after his wife (and mother to the two oldest boys) ran out on her family for a guy almost 10 years younger than herself. (She will be called "Evil" and once you get to know some things about her you will completely agree). I tolerate her only for the peaceful sake of the boys when honestly, deep down I truly believe that they would live much better lives if she were not in it. (Yes the boys live full time with us).
Diva's biological father is currently in prison but will be released in less than 7 months. That has added a whole new degree of stress on us in addition to the antics of Evil. (He will be called "Ice")
Prince is the joining of the two sides. He is also the last as I broke the baby maker when he was 7 weeks old. Four is more than enough!
We all live together in our little white house on our corner lot and are our own kind of family. The last 2 years have taught us a lot about ourselves and each other. This is my family! This is my life! And although there are some people and things I could do without, I wouldn't trade it for all of the world!
