The why of it all.

I don't know what on earth I'm doing, or exactly why I've decided to do it.  I started reading mommy blogs not too long ago.  I loved seeing women like me, struggling with the same things that I'm struggling with.  I live in the middle of nowhere.  I do not know my "neighbors" and my family is about 1,000 miles away.  Reading other blogs has helped me connect with moms in a weird way.

So to start it off, I'm a mom.  I have 6 kids.  Yes that does mean I'm Catholic and I love my faith.  I live on a pig farm in Minnesota.  I'm originally from Buffalo, New York and whenever I go back "home" to visit my family I always hear the shocked responses from friends and family that knew me back when.  I can honestly say that I never saw my life going this direction.  With each twist and turn and unexpected surprise I say to myself I never saw this coming but I wouldn't have it any other way.

So here we go.
