So, I have been told I should blog, I have been told that I have a story to share... so I am going to attempt to do that! I am not a great writer by any means but I am passionate about the things I write about.
I am a mother of 4 boys, currently all under the age of 8. To say our house is Chaotic is an understatement at best. Although chaos is normal in our home, I am sometimes very tempted to lie in fetal position in the corner and suck my thumb, hoping that the noise will stop. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys, they are all so very different. I sometimes think of what my life would look like without the boys or the joy and heartache that has come with them, but that world seems so empty... so I will enjoy my quiet times after 8pm when they are all tucked into their beds. I love bedtime, it is sometimes my favorite time of the day. I really can enjoy my boys when I peek in on them, nobody is demanding anything and I can watch them, peaceful and quiet...
To add to the chaos of 4 boys is the fact that I am married to a police officer. Yup, a superhero without a cape. I am a proud police wife but man, sometimes I try to imagine what it would be like to be married to a plumber or an accountant... Maybe I would get bored with that, I don't know. I could honestly do without the shift work and attitude though! Seriously, keeping 4 boys quiet while their father sleeps the entire day away and it is -30 outside... not an easy task. Trying not to "poke the bear" when he is gearing up to go out the door is kinda hard too, "cop mode" is way too much fun!!! This is a hard thing to rant about because the only other people who would ever get it are other police wives but there is a story to be told and I am going to tell it!
So what am I going to write about.....
Being a Police Wife
Being the mother of 4 boys
Being a fat girl with a dream of becoming a personal trainer. (Seriously, there is nothing more satisfying then being more fit than the skinny girl trying to keep up to you at the gym)
My journey and struggle with body image... I am a girl full of confidence, ready to take on the world but disgusted to look in the mirror.
My journey with an ill child. My 2nd son has a seizure disorder and it has turned our lives upside down. I have learned how to be an advocate... who cares if the hospital and school staff hide when they see me coming! They know I am going to fight tooth and nail for my boy!!
Life!! Yup, it is a crazy journey and I am learning that I am not the only one on it!
