Hello And welcome to my mind.

Welcome my friends. Please bare with me as blogging is a completely new world to me. I will introduce myself to start.
I am a 22 year old stay at home mom to three. I have three lovely boys. My oldest is 3. My middle is 1. My youngest is 6 months. I am recently married to their father. Yes, I am 22 with three kids and they all have the same father. I will give you a moment to let that soak in as I find many people find that incredibly hard to believe.

Okay are you good?  Good!

Now to continue. I have had many ups and downs in life. Most of which will be shared as I become more comfortable with you. I will give you a basic interview for the sake of helping you know me. I was born 22 lovely years ago. I have never been in a well off family. My parents I feel did what they could to make life easy for us regardless of their distaste for each other. Around nine I took over much of the care for my younger siblings. My mother passed when I was 12. Heart failure. She was very high strung not unlike myself. My sister under me (I had two at this point) and I moved in with my grandmother.

Eventually we moved back in with my father and his new girlfriend. Things were as wonderful as they could be for having recently lost a mother. My fathers girlfriend was amazing. She played with us. She read bedtime stories, watched movies, and made sure we were all happy. Things were wonderful.

I started high school. Progressively things went south with my relationship with my father and his girlfriend. I was not an easy teen. I was used to being the one doing the raising not the one being raised. That whole story is one for another post.

At 17 I left "home" although it was more a prison at that point. I graduated. I moved in with my boyfriend. A year later we were pregnant. My life COMPLETELY changed. What was once drugs and alcohol became diapers and rattles. Part of me wanted to SCREAM and part of me could not be more happy.

Money became tight after my boyfriend lost his job. We ended up home with my grandmother (this was always home. my fathers house never quite felt like "home"). I had the sense of home I had always longed for. Granted I was a mother now and should be on my own but the little girl in me LOVED having the mother and father figure in my life. There my second and third were conceived (that will be a story for another time as well.). I decided it was time to cut the "umbilical cord" and stand on our own two feet.

My Fiance (when I was pregnant with my second we got engaged new years day 2009) and I moved out. That was about 4 months ago.

Now he and I are happily married (Sept 10 2010) and raising our 3 children. Things are HARD. Money is TIGHT. Some days we dont even feel like we are holding our heads above water. but we are blessed with a happy marriage and three healthy children.

This became lengthy. If youre still with me that is me. An Oak tree in an Acorn shell, but as I said we will become more acquainted over time.

Welcome to my life. enjoy the ride. :)
