Accountability

I have always been somewhat creative and dabbled in the arts throughout high school and college. I love being creative, but since I have become a mom, I seemed to have lost my creative drive. I guess it does make sense being the mother of a 14 month old and one due in 3 months, I have little time or energy to be creative. This is still not enough of an excuse for me to be ok with, especially since eric bought me a brand new fabulous sewing machine for Christmas. I have not used it once - so it is time to brake it in:)
So, I have decided to also use this blog as a sort of accountability. I can look back and see all the creative things I wanted to accomplish and I have all of you to remember this:)

So the list begins........
1. Come up with a theme for the boys rooms and decorate.
2. Make curtain for the kitchen window
3. Make blanket for our bed
4. Create a painting for the dining room.

Ok I will stop and not get to in over my head. I am not even going to put a deadline on any of this - that way there will be no disappointments:)

A funny note on my family......
Last night Noah and Eric were hanging out and Noah was playing with our home phone. All of a sudden I hear Eric say " the police are coming Noah called 911". No sooner was there a police officer at my door... ( keep in mind Noah was screaming the whole time the officer was here)
Officer " is everything ok"

Me " yes, Officer, I'm sorry my 14 month old son called accidentally"

Officer " ok well, if I can just see an id so I can record this"

Me " Sure"

Me "just curious, what are you recording"

Officer " a false 911 call"

Me " oh"

officer " for every 5 false 911 calls , you will be fined"

Me " oh"

officer " here is your id Ms. Thank you and have a nice evening"

I guess they have to make money somehow

The beginning

Well after much contemplation I decided to go ahead and create my very own blog. For me it will be an outlet, a place for me to collect my thoughts on mother hood, being a stay at home mom, marriage, and just day to day life.
So here we go......
How did I come up with the title for this blog; Positive chaos?
Well, for those of you who know me well, you know that my life has been filled with many out of the ordinary experiences. Some would call it drama, maybe even unnecessary drama, some would simply call it craziness, I decided to be positive and call it positive Chaos.
For every out of the ordinary experience I have had and have, I have learned something from it and so those ever so chaotic moments in my life have become positive chaos in my life, making me the person I am today.

Warning.... This blog will in no way be grammar correct:)
