Here I am

I read such wonderful blogs everyday, I've decided to try it myself. So here I am: Mary, wife of Dave, mama to five children; ages 17,14,12,7,and 2 & a"haff". Four are girls, my son falls in the middle. We have been married for 18 years and 7 months. Add to this mixture a dalmation-Chief, a cat-Pumpkin and the newest, a cat named Sir Charles who "belongs" to my 17 yr old. I say "belong" in quote because while she works her full time job and ventures off with boyfriend, I am the one to watch, pet, hold, play and make sure kitty Pumpkin doesn't eat Sir Charles.

We live in a very old home that we are restoring with historical paint colors and someday, when children are grown, ie: not destructive, would like furniture from the time period. 1832 to be exact!

So come on over. I'll try to entertain, enlighten, provoke, or bore you with ALL THE CRAZY in my life. :)
