Disappointment?

I'm sure you've figured out by now that I'm an amateur right?  I'm not a professional blogger, nor to I have a fancy blog(maybe one day)  So, if you are looking for wisdom, guidance, professional help, you've come to the wrong place!  What you may find is occasional grammatical errors, and down to earth life at my circus! 

So, to not disappoint you any farther, today I have 2 subjects to discuss in short form.  Neither one have any relevance what so ever, but, such is life!

First and foremost my husband and I have an appointment with a lawyer today, to sign our will, custody assignment of our children, legal mumbo jumbo...
My dad is a funeral director/embalmer.  I've grown up around death my entire life, worked in the funeral business myself, and even won a scholarship for mortuary school. If anyone should know the importance of planning ahead in these situations, it's me.  But, why do I find it a little unsettling?  That at 35 years of age, I have to think there's a chance someone else may raise my 5 children.  Is it something I want to think about? NO!  But is it the responsible thing to do?  Yes.  Because I know then that the responsible people that WE chose will be caring for our children the way they know we would want them to be.

Now, on to the Circus!!!! No, really, we are going to the circus today!  Not just any circus, the Shriner's Circus!  Last year was the first year we took all 5 kids, and will admit I was a little concerned, since I have a few who can not stay still to save their lives.  But, it was amazing, actual very emotional for me to watch one of our girls(who suffers from various issues mentally, and physically) be transformed almost into a zombie, as she stood almost the entire 2 hours, transfixed on the show before her.  To watch their eyes light up, brought tears to my eyes.  No, it's not an earth shattering event, but for one moment in time, they were all just children, no labels, no chains, just pure childhood joy!

See, I warned you, you're never going to know what you're going to get from me!  One day I'm weeping, the next, you'll be rolling on the floor with laughter...that's "My personal Circus" and I'm not kidding!

Happy Saturday, enjoy today as if it was your last!

Consider your self WARNED!

So, I've decided to take the plunge, and start a blog.  I hope you enjoy the ride, because this crazy life of mine, is my personal circus!  Lol  I should have started this when we first adopted the girls, or when we first moved to "the farm" because I know you would have enjoyed the laughs.  As I go along, I will try to share some of those stories with you.  But for now, I hope you enjoy our daily lives, my day to day struggles, and a good laugh.  There are times when I have to laugh, otherwise I would cry!  So, sit down, buckle up, and enjoy this new chapter in our life!  In the coming weeks, we will start home schooling for the first time, start our second garden ever, try to rebuild our flock of chickens, and embark on another summer @ our hobby farm "City Girlz Farm & Ranch."  I may not share everything everyday, but rest assured, there will never be a dull moment, I've already started a list for post.(I'm OCD like that, just ask anyone)

My hope for this blog is to touch someones life.  I feel like at the age of 35, I am just now beginning to figure out who I really am, and get "it" together.  I will always try to speak honestly and candidly about my feelings, if I help no one along the way, it's been therapy for me more than anything!  Thank you Tammy for encouraging me to take this leap!

Until tomorrow...see you @ the circus!
