Who I Am?

Here we are, the beginning. The birth is a another brand new blog. Will it last? Will anybody read it? Is it really necessary? The answers; all my other blogs are over a year old and going strong, who really cares if anybody reads it, I deem it necessary to help myself and the masses in raising our children.

Yes, this will be a blog about my adventures, trials, tribulations and stories of being a parent to four wonderful (at times pain in the ass) kids. I spend almost every waking second with them and am a better person, human, father and husband for it. My kids our my life and at the present moment my only job. I am unemployed while my wife brings home the big bucks I play Mr. Mom. Caring, cooking, cleaning, disciplining, rearing and all that other good stuff that comes along with being a parent. I've been at this parenting gig for 11 1/2 years now and feel that I have a pretty good handle on things, but as we all know our kids teach something new about life, love and being a parent everyday.

I'll also go into the relationship between my wife and I as I attempt to become a better husband at the same time. As of right now I'm a much better parent than I am a husband, but I try my best to not disappoint my wife too much. She is the love of my life and with all marriages we have had to work on everything, but we share a common goal to raise great kids and to grow old together.

This blog isn't only here for me, it is also here for you. To share your stories, ask questions that have eluded you as a parent and to hopefully get a good laugh at once in awhile. No better medicine than a good laugh.

A little more on me as a parent. I have four kids, twins from a relationship a long, long time ago. They are here every other weekend and I must parent from a far between those times. Those two girls were my life from the time they were born as I spent the majority of time with them even when their mother and I were still together. That time has kept us close even up to now as we don't spend as much time together as we use to, but what we do have we try our best to make it count. My wife and I have two kids together, our first was a baby girl who is now five and will be headed off to kindergarten this coming fall. Then we have our son, my best buddy, my best friend and the wildest thing this side of the Mississippi. He is 3 now and really tests all of our patience, but we share such a tight bond it warms my heart just thinking about it. The wife and I have been married almost six years now and we have had very high highs and even lower lows, but we have made it through them all. I've been far from the perfect husband, but like I said before I strive to get better at it each day.

So this is the birth, that didn't hurt so much. Then again my uterus wasn't stretched from here to Texas either. I hope you can enjoy, share and even laugh a little at my little slice of parenting heaven.
