Introductions and Salutations

Welcome to my new blog.
I am new to the blogging world and I'm still not 100% sure what direction this blog is going to go.  I guess you will soon find out!  Mostly I will post about my own personal experiences.  I am warning you, though.  I will discuss topics like mental disorders and other scary topics that most people like to avoid.
My family is dysfunctional, to say the least.  I am married and I'm a mother to 4 children.  Each child has their own special and unique challenges.  As do my husband and myself.
Not everyone who reads this blog will appreciate my parenting style.  That's ok.
My writing style isn't refined and not everyone will appreciate my lack of respect for proper grammar and punctuation.  Or my love of curse words.
That's okay, too.  (Dammit!)
I'm a big girl and I am fully aware that when I put my business out there for the world to see...I will get criticism and judgement.  But maybe I will get support and understanding, as well.
Maybe.

So, here is the typical "introduction" and "all about me" segment.....
I am a woman.  I am old enough to know better but too young to care...oh, wait....I think I am actually past the "too young to care" part.  *sigh*  We will say that I am in my 30's, and leave it at that.
I am married.  Me and my husband have been together since 1999.  Our marriage has been a wild and crazy ride.  Often times I wonder why the Hell we stay together...I guess it's probably because I love the bastard so darn much!  You will probably see me flip-flop a lot on my feelings for my husband.  One day I'll probably post what a lazy good for nothing piece of dog poo he is and the other I'll be saying how lucky I am to have such a caring and supportive man in my life!  That's just how I roll.  Deal with it!!  No, seriously, we get pissed off at each other a lot and I like to vent about our issues.  Just know that underneath our bickering and craziness...we do love each other very much.
My husband is also in his 30's.  He is a SAHD (stay-at-home-dad, for those abbreviation-challenged folks), and a self-proclaimed "nerd".
I have 4 children.  Due to some genetic mutations (or something like that) they each have challenges and struggles that we deal with on a daily basis.  Between them all they have a full alphabet of different diagnoses...ADHD, ADD, ODD, SED, MD, LMNOP!  (yes, I made up the last one).  We take each day minute by minute and do the best we can.  But sometimes we screw up.  Big time.  Parenting isn't an exact science (I read that somewhere)....and I was never good at Science anyhow!  Sometimes all I can do is laugh at the crazy things that go on in my house (and sometimes all I can do is lock myself in the bathroom and cry and cry and cry!)
I have a job and I may discuss bits of it with you ("you" as in whoever decides to stop by and read this).  I work with adults with developmental and related disabilities.  It's a tough job.  Sometimes I think I am just a magnet for "crazies"!  I deal with it all at home and then go to work and deal with it all there.  And by "it" I mean extremely stressful and bizarre situations that most people would never encounter, or even dream up, in their every day lives!
So, I guess that's about it.  You'll get to know more about me and my family through my future posts.  I don't want to give it all away with the first post.  There is a lot of history and back-ground to know about us but I'll fill you in as needed.
It's almost 3am now so I think I'll go ahead and post this historical very first ever blog post of mine (how's that for a run-on sentence?!)  Good night ya'll.
