My three C’s are truly my vices. Caffeine and Cigarettes get me through my children. When all else fails my Children will always get me through the day. I just turn and look at three beautiful, smiling faces and all is right in my world.

Yes, that describes Brodie. Nothing short of !!! explains everything she goes through. She’s beautiful, intelligent, inspiring. She’s very strong minded and independent. But one wrong turn in her life and it’s !!!. Oh yes and she will always be Daddy’s Girl.

Dayton is my little man. He’s a very calm cool collected kid. Well until something upsets the balance in his life. He likes routine. And I really can’t say I blame him there. He takes good care of me while Daddy is away and is into everything boy imaginable. Having a son sure does put men into a new perspective for me. Though sometimes I sit there baffled and wonder what in the heck he is doing. He spends a lot of his days fighting off pirates, monsters, bad guys or racing someone.

In one day he could be all those people. That part of the “male psyche” I’m still trying to understand.

Then there is Tristan. She is our little princess. She doesn’t like to be dirty, and is never properly dressed. She tells everyone who is inappropriate with their clothing “Like a lady”. She loves her shoes and has beautiful curls in her hair. She has a temper that is out of this world and adores her older brother and sister.

Me, well I’m a mom. I’m young, semi energetic and have wonderfully crazy days. I try to stay as girly as possible when I can. I cook, I clean, I wash, I drive. I do it all. My husband spoils me and I love it. My kids adore me and think I am the answer to the universe. Now don’t get me wrong, there is days I’ve tried to find the nearest escape route, only to drag myself back in for me and remind myself of the bigger picture. I found vices and I found hobbies. My escape from the mess only for a little bit.

But that’s us. In a nutshell. We have our moments of imperfection but we keep on with the keep on. We are blessed and we enjoy everything that our hearts can possibly handle.
