I've been wanting to start a blog for some time but I'm the queen of procrastination until a fire gets lit under my ass and then i go on a rampage! The funny thing is, this my way of sorting thru a midlife crisis of sorts. A question of who I am, who I want to become and the journey to get there.
I'm the mom of 3 little monsters, Elmo (girl age 7), A.G (girl age 4), Snuffy (boy age 2) and soon to be Baby Bear (due Aug 10, 08). Wifey to Father Chaos who can be overwhelmed but hides it with wit and goofiness. We're also starting the collection of pets with a budgie named Mellow and a Bichon puppy, Noelle. That's the inspiration for my blog title, controlling the chaos while maintaining my sanity or trying to anyway.
As it finally becomes spring after one of the most crappy winters on record, I feel tons of motivations to get things done, to start new things and to change things about myself that I haven't been happy but somehow put off til tomorrow. Sadly, priorities get skewed when facing mountains of laundry, overflowing toy boxes, a filthy house and while having to get to work on time. So I have 4 months left before I go on my last year long vacation. 4 months left to organize and plan so I can help balance what I want to do with what I need to do.
I want to play with the kids, I want to go on little trips with them, I want to partially homeschool them, I want to be the semi crunchy old fashion sort of mama that came from Leave it to Beaver times, I want to be more easy going and yell less often. But I still need to get things done, I need my house in order and cleanliness, home cooked meals and craft time. This will be the journey of seeking balance and establishing calm in the storm of little children. To be able to see where the road takes our little family and to watch the little monsters grow and learn.
