I admire your humor and tenacity. I also believe in Karma and the fact that you were willing to bring up 5 kids at the drop of the hat shows you have a good character. This was rewarded by getting a husband who, by the sounds of it, you adore.
I wish the 7 of you the best of luck.
Wow, thanks so much!
the blog is awesome. i especially loved the saga of Brickie or what ever his/her name is today.
you have a amazing wit.
dGb!
haha… we have five kids in my family. I’m number 4. Only we have 4 boys and 1 girl, like a mirror of yours.
I love how you embrace the beautiful absurdity of your life. We should all do that.
So glad I finally spent time surfing Freshly Pressed Blogs today. Love your voice, and I can totally relate to being an accidental stepmom. Can’t wait to read more!
If I haven’t told you, I find your blog to be hysterical. I check it daily hoping for updates. I appreciate your humor and outlook on life.
Thanks! That totally made my day!
Hello – I love you.
You are funny, witty and real. Should you ever get around to writing a big fat book – I’ll be a def. reader:)
Well hi there! Nice to meet you and I love you too! Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot!
Aww.. Love the kids! The hubby had to be “prolifically virile” to have 5 kids
Love your blog girl.. you seem to be a beautiful person with a LOT of patience!
God bless
P.S. I think the kids would love you better than a real mom.
I am a big fan!
