Starting point

Guess there has to be one of those, eh? (for anything) Here goes, I am Amy, mom of 3 all a year apart...yeah...we know how it happened...:) If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me THAT question, well, you know...anyhoo...I enjoy so many things that I am almost constantly in a state of 'everywhereness'...yes, it is my own personal word, feel free to borrow at any time. I don't think I have adult add or adhd..more like, someone or something constantly needing something! Thus, the 'everywhereness' I usually feel throughout the day. I'm sure that alot of you (or most) understand this situation and live it daily. I do like scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing, cooking, gardening and decorating. Oh! and blog reading! :) I do not like cleaning, (but I of course love a clean house), people who pull out in front of you to drive 10 miles UNDER the speed limit, or people who, when a new line opens at the store, run over everyone to be the first in that line when others have been waiting longer. I used to enjoy cooking until everyone developed completely different tastes. ha! My dream is to have a happy, comfy home with somewhat successful children. They are currently 11, 12 and 14 soon to be 12, 13 and 14. Hormones run high in this house! I am constantly thinking of how to make our home a sanctuary to the outside world and feel like I am climbing up a hill in a mudslide. (I think we have neighbors who wear our clothes/use our towels and such when I'm not looking---as far as I'm concerned, LAUNDRY is a dirty word) One day I may actually see the bottom of the laundry hamper, bathroom floor, laundry room floor...you get the idea. I do try not to stress over these things, however, and enjoy the chaotic life that I have. I had two different views of how my life would end up when I was in college, 1.) I am a corporate executive dashing all over the world with tons of money, still looking fab into my 50's....2.) Being a wife and mom, cleaning up, cooking and looking after anyone who came my way.......my advice...BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR....ha ha...I really wouldn't trade a minute of it. (well, except maybe for some of the time I spend doing laundry) If I have any spare time, I love to redecorate on a budget, cook something new and exciting (which doesn't feel so exciting when your youngest says..."MOM, what is THAT??" ) and work in my garden. Some days I feel like I've really 'figured it out' and others I realize I am a loooong way off. I am looking forward to possible meeting some new folks or maybe boring a few of you to tears.....either way, welcome to my blog.... duty calls and I must make dinner before my entire family STARVES to death...
