It has finally happened.
I've entered the world of blogging.
My life has gotten very complicated lately. I'm a mom to five children under the age of ten. I'm a full time graduate student in a difficult nurse practitioner program - this is complete with classes, homework, and clinical hours. I work three jobs outside the home. I homeschool my children (well, at least the three school-aged children!).
And through it all I (try to) manage the house: cooking, cleaning, laundry, bill paying, etc.
Oh, did I mention that my youngest is only a month old and not sleeping through the night?? Or that I'm suffering (for the first time ever, believe it or not) from postpartum depression? That's right....I'm just a joy to be around right now....my husband can't wait to get home at night to see my smiling face!
So I'm using this blog to vent my troubles. To talk about the trials of raising a large family, the confusing desire to have more children even as we struggle to support the five we have. To talk about being a graduate student while being a parent. To talk about homeschooling. To address how working outside the home is so very difficult when your heart wants you to be home all the time. And to talk about how being a wife and mother is probably one of the most difficult jobs anyone can do!
And this should be easy since I have so much free time on my hands, right??
