Why the blog?

So, why the blog? Sanity? Reassurance? Just name a reason. I have had many people suggest I blog so here it is. Real, crazy and it is going to be loud. As I am typing, my 17 month old is screaming while the 3 and 5 year olds are out jumping on the trampoline. Oh, I should stop blogging because my baby is crying or maybe I should be supervising the older ones more closely...you might want to the leave this blog now. Run away...fast. In my defense, daddy is out on the trampoline but typically he travels during the week so don't give me too much credit. I guess for full disclosure (being the first blog in all) I should say that I have a glass a wine next to the keypad. This will be normal.  Sure I could parent...wait, now my 3 year old is crying at me. Oh, he hurt his ear. Obviously, daddy couldn't help with such matters. This is not a jab at daddy. The 3 year old is fickle. Back to "sure I could". Sure I could parent without wine, but why? Laughing matters aside for a moment and these will be rare - I absolutely adore my family and life! So, lets all sign an imaginary contract that we will not judge each other. Let's unite in sarcasm and support each other. We are all in this together to create the greatest generation to date! Working mom, stay at home mom, working dad, stay at home dad, single parent, any other type of parent....we are ALL in this together. I hope this is a place you can come to and find comfort, support and a few laughs. I will also be blogging about in- home fitness, food, wine, travel, relationships, parenting fails and parenting triumphs. The only thing I am certified to actually speak on behalf of is fitness but there will be full doses of "expert" ramblings on many, many other topics. Pour a glass of wine (or hot tea etc), relax and take in this loud life I call mine!
