Intro to Tidbits From the Queen of Chaos

I attended a fundraiser for my kids’ school and after talking the ears off of some friends that I don't get to see very often and with their encouragement, I decided to start a blog. I am obviously in need of getting some of this stuff out (and apparently in need of adult interaction) so rather than monopolize their nights out; a blog might be a better solution. I am not only a wife and mother but I am also an aspiring writer. While looking for jobs online, some asked for a link to my blog and since I didn’t have one, that was another reason I started one.

My life is chaotic. I mean...absolute and total chaos. There are nights when I crawl in bed after midnight because I really needed some "non-kid time" and in order to get it, I have to stay up with reruns on Bravo TV because my kids don't go to bed until 10:00 (we'll get to why that is later). As I drift off to many rich housewives living extravagant lives, I try and think about what I have accomplished that day. I used to want to go to bed with the house clean, the kids tucked in their beds after I read them stories and helped with homework after they enjoyed a nice home cooked meal during which they laughed out loud a few times to reassure me that they were in fact happy. These days, I would be happy with just the laughing out loud part.

Why is my life so chaotic? I have 4 children whose ages range from 13 to 1 years old. Nico is 13, Tommy and Isabella are 9 (twins alone would make it chaotic) and Gia is one. Nico and Tommy are three sport athletes. They both play football and this year Nico played basketball for his school and for the high school feeder team. He plays travel baseball as well. Tommy also plays basketball and will probably be on two baseball teams this summer. Isabella is a cheerleader and is involved in cheernastics. Gia is still just a baby who requires much of my undivided attention. My husband, who I am sure most of this blog will be about, coaches everything but cheerleading, has a full-time job and several hobbies that I am not very supportive of. I am still madly in love with him, still find him the hottest guy I know in real life and he makes me laugh like no other but he has the ability to find my last nerve and be on it, makes me want to tear out my hair and think several "Ally McBeal"  moments (you know the ones where she is talking to someone that is bugging her and poof, they vanish or explode).  Much of this blog will probably be about him because he gives me so much material to work with.

Now that I am blogging for the public, hope you enjoy the rollercoaster ride that is my life.
