Welcome!

My name is Erin and I’m a mess…nice to meet you…

I’m a wannabe wonder woman who wants to be the best at everything she does but often feels like a failure as I find my way in life.

A little about me…first of all I love Jesus and my faith is important to me so if things get religious around here that’s okay…

I was married for 21 years and sometime during the last one I woke up and realized that my marriage was not working the way I wanted it to.  I yelled “I want a divorce” during a fight and my husband said ok.   So here I am…figuring out life with an unexpected and honestly not wanted divorce.  However we were more toxic than good together so I’m learning that saying yes to me and my needs and keeping my marriage together are 2 different things.  I’m still figuring it all out…and learning to figure out where my issues and broken pieces are in my life so that I can heal and grow.

I’m a mom of 4…2 bigs, 2 littles.  The bigs are 21 and 19 and full of their own issues and problems.  The littles are 10 and 5 and one has Type 1 diabetes and 1 has autism.  So there it is…a full plate at home and lots of challenges both physical and behavioral..Throw in teenage angst and some days I am just hanging on till bedtime.

I teach preschool and take care of babies…its fun and challenging all at the same time.

This blog is going to cover everything and anything as I work my way through the world around me.  It may not always be pretty but I try to do it all with gusto!
