What gives.....

O.K.... first the facts.....

The reason I wanted to start a blog was to give Mom's a place to share information. Now this is were things get tricky. I'm the mom of 4 boys ages 22,19,17 and 12. Several things have come up in our lives lately that sent me to friends, family and finally, the internet. The friends and family were a help, but the internet let me down. It seems like once your children are potty trained and off to school your done with the hard part. WRONG! That's the easy stuff! If I could go back to those days, I'd be a happy woman!

One thing I want to make clear is that I have good kids. I think all kids are good kids, sometimes they just do dumb things. Mine decided to wait until they were older to do their dumb things. One week last December saw our oldest get arrested for driving while impaired, the next one decided that the very expensive college he was at was not for him and the 17 yr. old declared he wanted nothing to do with High School grad. celebrations, pictures or ceremonies. All while the 12 yr.old decided this was a good time to bug his parents about the types of video games we won't let him play.

After lots of searching I found that there was a whole lot of nothing on the internet dealing with problems parents have while their kids were finding their feet in the real world. I'm hoping this will be that place, a place to share and not judge. Help and laugh together, because one thing is certain raising kids is Gods way of getting back at us for all the things we did wrong at that age!!
