Meet The Crazies...

When I thinking up blog names I wanted to capture exactly what I was all about. The most important thing in my life is my family. This is also the topic of most of my blog posts. So I thought about one word that encompassed our life. It did not take me but 3 seconds to decide…Crazy.

Crazy-


Mentally deranged, demented, insane, intensely enthusiastic, passionately excited, very enamored or infatuated, intensely anxious or eager, inpatient, unusual, bizarre, wonderful, excellent, perfect, having an unusual and unexpected behavior or pattern…

Oh yes, Crazy it is.

Normally we stay on the good side of Crazy, but sometimes we slide over to the mentally deranged, demented side. I have 3 kids, 2 pre teens and one toddler…don’t judge.

I had another blog where I pretty much wrote about our lives and things that happen. It is never boring around my house. A simple trip to the grocery store is normally exciting. Trust me when I say that I 100% love my family and every second that I am in it. There is no other place in the world that I want to be. Even if my posts sound contrary.

So after all that blah blah I guess you are like holy shit this chick is boring as hell. Oh, did I mention that I have a potty mouth? Why, yes I do! It is not to offend and if the word shit offends you then you probably need to stop reading right now (Thanks for stopping by…). This blog is not for the faint of heart and probably not good for work computers. This is like a diary in my head and damn if my head does not talk like a sailor. I hold no punches and really don’t like people that are pussies and do. Time and place for everything…well here is my place and the time is when ever my fucking little darlings leave me alone for 5 minutes so I can get some of this shit out of my head.

So…now for our cast of characters.

April- I seriously hate writing about myself. I mean how does one really describe oneself accurately. Well I
guess I should start with I am a 33 year old SAHM of 3. I have a tendency to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God. That is if I like you. If I really don’t care I will lie and say what you want to hear. I can not stand fake people nor people who take themselves too seriously. I love to laugh and if you are around me a long time I will hit you will a zinger (or BAZINGA for Big Bang fans). I can dish, but I also gladly take. When I am not joking I am a pretty good listener and will try to give the best advice that I can, from all sides.

My totally guilty pleasure is Reality TV. If it is on the shit box I am watching. Before you get all judgy about how I can take care of my kids and keep up with the Kardashians…I don’t watch daytime tv (I mean really, a soap is a soap and I am not that interested in “who’s the daddy”…well maybe sometimes, but I try not to have trash tv on in front of the kids). I do most of my watching at night and I will probably write an OMFG post the next day. Please forgive me.

I write for fun. I am not interested in PR, however if I use a product and it is good and I love it and think that every frappin person in the world needs one…I will make a post. Same with if it is shitty. Mostly this blog is just for me and if anyone thinks that it is interesting and wants to play along…the more the crazier.

Dean- This is my hubby, also know as Poppy and Daddy. We have been together for 5+ years and married for 4+ years. When we got married the older kids were 5 and 7. So he has been involved with the kids from day one. He may not be their biological father, but he is their Poppy. He is the one that helps with homework and drives them where they need to go. More important he is there when they need someone to talk to or rely on. So he is pretty important.

He is also crazy as hell. He is the Yin to my Yang…you know the “you complete me thing”. Well that is how it is in our relationship. That does not mean that he does not drive me slap up a wall and back down again.

Dean and I welcomed a new baby into our family in 2009. This is Dean’s only biological child (although if you saw him with the older kids you would call me a liar). When she came into our lives we were all connected and complete…yes complete. I aint fixing to pop another one out.

Matt- Matt is our oldest child. He is 11 and going to be starting middle school in the next couple of weeks. Matt is the aggravator. He takes this job very seriously, especially when it comes to his sisters. He loves going to church and playing the drums. When he was a baby he was the sweetest child. He would stay right where you put him and did not ever even try to get into anything. At a very young age he showed his very active imagination. He writes stories about fictional brothers Fred and Jed. He also authors and draws a comic strip about wrestling. His most important thing is his love for the Lord and wanting to preach. He very rarely is without his Bible and often references it for guidance.

Ansley- Ansley is out 1st princess. Although she thinks she is a queen. She is almost 10 and is going into the 4th grade. Straight A’s, gifted and talented student. She is a very independent thinker (as nice way of saying stubborn as hell). She is the type of child that always fights for the underdog in any situation. She is a take me as I am because I am wonderful kinda girl. She is a girly girl, but her typical dress is jeans and a t shirt. Like her mama, she is a good mix of city and country. Loves, loves, loves to read and helps Matt write Fred and Jed adventures (when they are not fighting). Ansley is entering into a new world because her big brother will no longer be at her school and she has never been alone. While she would rather swallow a spoon than admit that she is going to miss him…I know. She also is going though some kinda funky “I’m cool” phase. I hear it will end at around 25.

Ansley is the child that is most like me. She is nosey and often finds herself in predicaments. When she was a baby I would call her Lucy (as in I love Lucy). There is just something about us that we end up in trouble. Sometimes good…sometimes bad. She also thinks that she can do anything. Don’t tell her that she can’t…please don’t tell her that she can’t. She then becomes a dog with a bone about it and will not stop until she proves you wrong.

Laney-Claire- LC is our little baby. She is the light of all of our lives. She is entering into her toddler years full force and some days we are all amazed with things that she is learning. She has the most animated personality and does not get lost in this house of crazy. As a matter of fact, she acts a little crazy herself.


So there you have it. We are a house full of crazy. There is no other way to describe my life…except wonderful.
