This is my circus and these are in fact my monkeys

HOLA!😁 Hello and welcome to your first class seat to the shitshow and events that occur in my life. Let me start by saying I have wanted to write a blog for a long time, and...well... I'm 38 and not getting any younger. I know this because I just attended my 20 year high school reunion. How the hell did that happen?!😧 Anyways, I hope that with all that I share on this blog you take away a positive outlook, find humor in the chaos that I share, and a different outlook on what I truly feel is weighing heavy on my heart because I think my testimony of peaks and valleys could possibly help someone else by knowing that they can relate to what I am saying... errrrr typing... My story! . I can't really say that I hope to "inspire" people because... I survive by Jesus, caffeine, cuss words and I sprinkle sarcasm like that shit is glitter. lol I mean, I whisper to myself (ok, that's a fib. I don't whisper. I'm pretty loud and outspoken🔊) "WTF" a million times a day. lol But on that note, if someone can have a positive outlook while experiencing the same chaos, they will see that you do, in fact survive and more importantly... this IS your circus and THEY ARE in fact YOUR MONKEYS🙈🙉🙊🐵! Let that sink in...😉 Since this is my first entry it will probably be lengthier than my normal entries.

That being said, allow me to introduce myself. I am Amy. I am married to the most amazing man ever. His name is Art and the moment I met him, he was "awestruck" by my personality.😆😘 LMAO Love Ya babe! There's a story there but I will have you here all day! Moving on: I have birthed 5 gorgeous children and they are all so amazingly talented and incredibly special. My son is my absolute heart and soul. He is my only boy, my first love and the sweetest soul that taught me how to be a mama. In fact, I realized as he celebrated his 20th birthday that I have been a mama for more than half of my life! HOLY SHIT!! That is so freaking crazy to me! I mean, I still feel like I am 25...that is until I wake up in the morning and try to get out of bed. haha My oldest daughter is my precious, perfect forever guardian angel. Trinity gained her wings on 5.16.04. My other 3 girls are so very different. My second oldest daughter is 14... ( I KNOW... Teenager 😲) she is my gentle giant with a heart of gold. My middle child is my pre-teen silent, snuggly, sneaky dancing diva. And my youngest... The Baby... Jesus take the damn wheel🙌. That child is so spicy that I tell her that God made her cute so that I don't harm her. lol jk jk. On a real note, My baby is a blessing beyond words. I felt it important to start this blog in September because it is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! My youngest (Vivi, #TeamVivi) is a Stage 1 Nephroblastoma Wilms Tumor Survivor!! (Pediatric Kidney Cancer). She gives me life, daily and is such a ray of sunshine for others!! In fact, I had someone look at Vivi and tell me, " That child is marked by God. You can see it in her eyes" Right about that time I was thinking to myself, "Yup! Explains A LOT! God has a sense of humor!"😁 I have to say, sarcasm aside... we truly feel she is. Her spicy fire sign and my cool, firm water sign is a site to see quite often! My children are my heart and soul, and my husband is my breath of air. I CAN NOT express how much my life evolves around all of them. I really just got teary eyed typing that. Cheesy as hell, I know.🤷‍♀️ My husband is my best friend, the yin to my yang, the bread to my butter (since I can't eat carbs anymore🙄), and the very cool and calm I need for my wild and crazy! I hope you enjoy my blog and if nothing else, get a decent giggle out of this shitshow and my monkeys! BTW, did I ever tell you I wanted to work with monkeys?? We'll save that for Another time....
