Guess Who’s Back! Time to Blog About Life, Challenges, & Squirrels!

Hey everyone!

I started this website over a year ago and naturally, I ended up overwhelmed.  (I bet that was a big surprise to those who know me, haha)  I love to take on new projects, get excited to learn all those new skills, think I can juggle everything, and naturally, here comes life, tons of random challenges, and then, I stumble upon my next squirrel…

I’ve always loved sharing stories about my experiences over the years, the good, bad, funny, embarrassing, etc. My grandma has been telling me since I was fairly young, “You should write a book someday!”  Every time she mentions it, I love the sound of it and I instantly start opening a million tabs in my brain trying to figure out where I could start, what I’ll need, etc…  …Maybe I should start with a blog first!

My attention span can range anywhere from virtually non-existent to laser-focused while working on Excel formulas (or trying to prove my husband wrong).  I can’t tell you how many times I sat down to write or type a story about some of my experiences and I’ve ended up sidetracked.  

I’m not completely sure which direction I want to go with this blog yet, I have dozens of interests, but I figured I just needed to get back on the horse again and finally post something.  I’m trying to set more realistic goals, so I will post again at some point, I’m just not sure when that will be yet.  I’m trying to be realistic here (that could still be considered a tall order for me).

It seems like every time I try to set personal goals with self-imposed deadlines I end up with a sick kid, then something that needs fixing on the vehicles or around the house, oh look, another sick kid, then finally…  …Bam, sick spouse or sick me because we’ve focused on everyone else except ourselves.  

With 4 kids, a husband, both of us working full-time, pets, livestock, a house, hobbies, etc. It’s never a dull moment in our household!  With all that being said, feel free to follow along with my blog as it unfolds.  I don’t interact with many adults, so be prepared for plenty of venting, some entertaining stories/thoughts, and random crap that we’re into at the time. 

Final warning, it’s likely to be dripping in sarcasm and potentially dark/inappropriate humor but that’s just me and it’s how I cope with crap. I’m also hoping this will provide me with a healthy way to vent and get feedback from other like-minded, exhausted, realist parents so we all feel a little less alone while attempting to guide our tiny terrors, I mean tiny humans…  

Wish us luck!  I know we’ll need it, hope to see you around!
