Clarification

I want to write a little bit to clarify my blog, the purpose, and just me in general. I am in LOVE with my kids. Absolutely adore each & every one of them & could not imagine life without them. However, I am a human being that has been thrust, or more acurately, jumped into a completely different life 6 months ago. Life as we knew it blew up in so many ways. We multiplied 1.75 times! I went from being basically a stay at home mom who was involved in everything my kids were doing to working 2 nights a week. In my former life, I ALWAYS (and I mean always) knew where things were. The difference between us and many other large families is that we didn't have the opportunity to shape our children from the womb on. The best way to describe our life as adoptive parents is that someone dropped off a 1000 piece puzzle without a box, a picture to go by, or any guidance. We are working to put together the pieces but once you get into the puzzle you realize that it actually a bunch of puzzles thrown together, and some of the pieces (the really important ones) are missing, and others are bent and broken. Is this puzzle any less beautiful? Absolutely not. Yes, I know, that is being a parent. We signed up for this. Blah, blah, blah. The way I deal with things is to just talk about them in real life terms-when things stink, I say so. Not everyone who reads my blog is going to appreciate my sarcasm or my candor. I am who I am. A sinner saved by Grace who is working towards being more like Jesus but failing miserably. Please, please read my blog with an ounce of grace. I love my kids, I love my husband, I love my family. I am just honest. Too honest most times. Oh, Did I mention I'm sarcastic?
