Starting my blog :)

Well here I am! I decided to start blogging. I've been thinking lately that I have WAY too much material not to share with everyone. In just less than 2 years I have went from promiscuous/ hormone driven girl to a married women with 4 children! I promise my husband isn't slipping me ruffies daily.

I suppose I should start by introducing my family.

Of course there is me, Christy
and then Chris my husband :)
and then the four kids, Gabe, Joey, Ethan, and Mary
and last but not least Batman, Queen Sheeba, and Manny (our cats).

Perhaps on another day I will do some background story telling about how exactly I came to be a stepmother and wife. Not today though. It's a longgggg story.

But I did want to give you a glimpse into my life. My everyday chaotic life.

Yesterday I wake up and the kids have actually let me sleep until 9. Whoa. That never happens. I've been catching a cold for a few days now so I'm feeling a bit under the weather ( just so you know I'm a big baby when I'm sick so I text Chris at work as soon as I wake up and whine about how awful I feel lol ). I make the kids breakfast and go to start a load of clothes. Normal morning. Halfway through the basket of dirty clothes is a bath towel suspiciously wrapped up..... I open it up.... and it's POOP!!!!!! I just stare at the poop in my bath towel and wonder..... what the hell!?

I failed to mention earlier that Gabe and Joey are first of all 9 and 8 years old and autistic. Ethan and Mary are 6 (twins) and do not have autism.

Ok! so back to my story. I think it could have been any of them, but I'm thinking more it's Joey. He likes to get into bizarre things or just do things differently for the sensory effect. I'm not an expert in autism by any means, and until you live it... you have no idea.

I keep getting side tracked. So.. I call for Joey to come to the laundry room and as soon as he see's me with the Poopy Towel he makes a small noise and a guilty face which to me says "I did it!" so I ask him "Joey did you wipe your butt with the towel?" and he says "no". I asked him again and he said "yes" then went to the bathroom and wiped his butt again :/

Keep in mind I said earlier I had a cold. so I couldnt smell anything. On closer inspection it was not poop but actually wet catfood he had mixed with water I'm assuming and then tried to hide it in the towel. lol.

Later that same day. I took the boys with me to Wal-mart (Mary was staying with her cousin). We go in for maybe 30-40 minutes. Get back to the car and I can't find my keys! Great! The boys starting getting in the car anyways, which I thought odd bc I always lock my doors... So I thought maybe they fell out of my purse while I was getting out of the car. I open the driver side door.... and the keys are still in the ignition! and my car is still running!!!! How brainless!

We have good days and bad days, and this wasnt a bad day. Just crazy. And EVERYDAY is crazy.

Well thats it for now. Comment. Ask questions. See you next time!
*ps. I'm sure you noticed my grammar and perhaps spelling was horrible but I really dont care lol
