Hold the stank eye please!

I know the reaction..."Redheaded Goddess?! Who does she think she is?!"  I would like to start by saying that I didnt give myself that nickname and I, in no way, relate myself to a goddess. I am happy to be called His Redheaded Goddess though. By "His" I mean the love of my life. My Sexy Sgt. He once said it was how he sees me and its what I am to him so I am proud to boast of it. So reserve the stank eye for someone more deserving because I am just a housewife and mom of almost 5. Yep, thats right 5!  I have three children from a previous prison sentence...oops, I mean marriage. I have a stepson that was from my Sexy Sgt's previous marriage and we are expecting a child of our own in the beginning of June. When I say my life is never boring you can always count on me being sincere!  Not only do we have a housefull of children with energy levels far above the combined level of me and my honey, but we also have additional family temporarily staying with us. There is always something going on whether you want it to or not. Right now, I could probably write a book about how my life has been just in the past year and end up having to split it up into volumes.  But that is what is supposed to make life worth living right? The many ups and downs and twists and turns that are thrown at you. Not all of them fun. Sometimes you are left feeling worse for wear. Other times you are begging for more.You get plenty of all that being a stay at home mom in my house! The person who thinks that being a stay at home mom is easy has never truly  been one. If you have nannys or if you are one of those that depends on family to help you make it through from conception to graduation then, as lucky as you are, you have NO IDEA what its really like. Being a mom is a wonderful thing but being a stay at home mom...not always for everyone. I envy the June Cleavers out there that can be completely content with running a household and staying at home to be the support for the Mr. Cleavers. I have done if for many a years so I know what it takes and what sacrifices you make to do it but a June Cleaver I am not. I love being with my kids but to have that one thing for myself, whether it is a degree, a special hobby, or even a part time job working the drive thru at McDonalds would be a priviledge.  I guess thats why I started this blog. To start something of my own that I do by myself. This is the start of finding what path I want to jump on I suppose. So, here goes nothing!
