  1. You are very welcome.  Do hang around.  We're pretty good for a laugh. :)

    I'm Jen. I'm a wife.

    I do ok at that. 

    I have 6 kids.

    Yes, they are all mine.

    I don't do so well at it.

    I'm a stay-at-home-mum.

    Yes. Well.

    My house is not clean often, and not in the "oh look, there are three glasses, a plate and a fork in the sink, 6 crumbs on the counter and a small pile of mail" kind of way.

    SIX CHILDREN.

    My house looks like a bomb hit it.

    I struggle. You will not find a perfect parent/wife/Christian here.  Which is good, right?  It means you won't click out feeling like a failure.

    In fact, I'll probably make you feel better about yourself.

    I live to serve ;)

    I've been arty-farty my whole life, and I love the theatre also. I didn't learn to drive until I was 24, and if someone gave me a million dollars the first thing I would do would be to book a breast reduction. If I couldn't sing, I wouldn't know what to do with myself, I wish I didn't rely on the spell checker so much and I'd love to re-learn the piano. I'd love to learn interior design, record a c.d, go to Europe, learn how to shut my mouth before saying embarrassing things, and keep my house clean. I'm a lazy perfectionist, I have more than a normal touch of O.C.D, and Adam still thinks it hilarious that I brush the fringes on rugs so they are straight and aren't all messed up and arrrgghhh! *eye twitch*

    I truly hope you think you could like me. De-lurking not only welcomed, but encouraged!*grin*

    If there is anything that you would like to share with me that you'd rather everyone else not be privvy to or wish to ask something that wouldn't be appropriate in the comments, then please don't hesitate to email me. 

    My address is mat2820b {at} hotmail {dot} com Though obviously without the pretty perentheses, and use the symbol instead of the word inside them.

    I promise to answer.

      Fantastic - resonated with SO much here (besides the reduction) ;) ... I have half as many kids, but probably twice the mess, have recorded the CD, but never learned piano. I also sing and procrastinate and struggle. Good to "meet" you! Glad Lisa-Jo started this.

      I brush the tassles on my rugs too so that they lay straight.

    Thanks for chiming in :)

    I really promote conversation here, and I only ask that you be considerate of others feelings, and remember that tone doesn't always translate well over type. An emoticon can work wonders! ;)
