A little more about me

So for my first blog post ever, I figured I would tell you a little bit more about me....  I am a 30 year old mom of... uhm well total of 6 kids. I hate it when people categorize step-children as not theirs...  My kids are my world, we have Kim who is 16, James who is 13, Anton is 8, Kieryn is 5, Kendra who is 2 and then the newest addition Audrey who happens to be almost 3 weeks old.  These children are the combined effort of me and my husband Rick.  I am a stay at home mom with 4 of those little ones in the home all the time.  My hubby is a truck driver who runs from here in the Reno/Sparks area to Los Angeles during the week.  As a stay at home mom I personally feel that I have the hardest job in the entire world, although it is also the most rewarding for sure.  I am an avid hooker lol, not in the dirty sense, but in the crochet lingo sense.  I make all sorts of fun, creative things with a hook and yarn, although I think the hubby wished I had a more normal obsession because the yarn collection just keeps getting bigger and bigger.  I learned everything I know about crochet from my Grandmother Sylvia.  She was always pushing me to try new techniques or asking me to make her a new scarf or afghan.  She passed away this February, so sometimes my ramblings will be stories of me growing up or things she said or did.  I was told by a friend that I should start selling some of my creations but I think I will start off here and see where that goes.  LOL this may not turn into anything so we will see.
