Welcome to my world. My name is Joann and I am a Stay-at-Home Military Wife. I have 5 beautiful children and one crazy home. I like to tell stories and ramble. All for fun.

Laundry-Mania

Yes, I truly believe that my laundry multiplies when I am not looking. Mounds of crazy amounts of laundry. Today alone I am on load 5.  I just folded 3 loads that I have been putting off for about a week, or 2....yeah, dont give me that look.   So the best part about NOT putting clothes away?? My kids constantly complaining that they have no clothes! (Yes, the dresser is empty, but have you checked that giant hill of clothes in your room?) Ok, ok, I will totally admit that I am not one to do laundry every day. If I can sneak by the clothes pile without it falling down, I will try to put it off for just one more day. 
Now I know what it sounds like, and its not true. I actually LIKE to do laundry. It always smells so good and clean! Dishes, however, thats another story. I never did like doing dishes, but I do them everyday; sometimes twice a day! Funny how that works out....

Oh! Puzzle time! My children love puzzles, but dont let them work on one together. Too many Chiefs, not enough indians (as my hubby would say). Not everyone can run the show.

Fun Fact: Apparently, gumballs are an excellent bribe for potty training. :)  I'm just sayin...

Furniture Jumping

KABOOM...ok, what was that?? Oh, so you decided to jump off the couch again; onto your brother. Great...   Do I wanna jump? No thanks. I might break the floor.

Yes, this is my day. My typical day. Late start to my morning and then rushing to catch up and all the while my beautiful children are enjoying every piece of furniture I own. Just not as intended.
I suppose if I was at that age again, I would love to jump that high from the couch....and land safely.

Then we have the build-a-bear nightmare. A bear we made with a lovely lullabye that gets stuck and will sing for an eternity, or until I have had my last nerve worked and I unstick the button. Unfortunately, this has happed at 3am. Yes, I have awoken to the continuous sound of brahms lullabye and just HAD to stop it. Thankfully I havent had to rid the bear of the annoying song button-yet.

So now that I have started a blog and I seem to have no idea (truly I dont) on how to manage, advance, or put this together, I am gonna wing it (like I do with so many other things in life) :)

My name is Joann and you are welcomed into my crazy, loud world as often as you like.

ENJOY! (1-31-12)
