Welcome! Hop on and enjoy the ride!
So I sit here and write this to you while huddled in a corner of my parents living room. You see I, MadMom, decided that rather than spend my first Christmas alone, I would take myself, my children, and my cat to my parents farm for a family Christmas. I’m hiding from my toddler who if he sees my phone will freak out. Right now he is playing nicely with his new toys. He can’t be left for an instant as this place isn’t babyprooofed. And he has decided that napping is optional here. So hiding to write is the only sane plan.
It’s been a bumpy year for all of us and I was hoping that an extra four hands would come in handy while everyone was off from school. I consider 2017 to be a write off, a rotten year, something we look back on and are thankful it’s not happening again. We all survived, but we’re battered and bruised.
So who are we? We are the mad family. Slightly insane, slightly angry and always moving forward. I am MadMom, the now sole head of house and home. I am a newish single mom to three wonderful children. MadReader, a tween girl, MadStyle, a late elementary school girl, and MadBaby, who is now a toddler. We have MadCat, a fat old orange thing with the most unfortunate name in the world, and somehow managed to not yet kill a 6 year old fish, MadFish. He isn’t the only one in the tank, but we did just celebrate the 6 th anniversary we got him.
What am I going to write about? I want to keep a record of our mad life, and tell our story. I plan on sharing how we run things, our day to day tips and tricks, and general parenting thoughts. Ideas on how to cope with a sudden divorce.. Recipes and horror stories may end up included.
