WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF TERROR!!!

Hello everyone I would suggest you fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a bumpy ride...Well to start with I live with monkeys or at least that's what they act like. I have 5 boys and they all live with me. My oldest boy's girlfriend also lives with us. My husband and I have been married for 20 years next month. We have 2 biological boys and we adopted my oldest son's best friend and his 2 brothers when they landed in the foster care system. We also live with 5 dogs, a cat, and 2 turtles. Our dogs are 2 miniature grey hounds, 1 chihuahua, 1 rat terrier, and 1 bassett hound. Our cat is a tabby. Our turtles are actually desert tortoises. My husband works for US Airways. He has worked there for 19 years. He has worked there so long it used to be America West Airlines until they saved US Airways from bankruptcy. We have lived in the same house for 18 years and it was owned by my parents before we moved into it. It only has 1175 square feet and you already saw how many people and animals live with us. We are also the neighborhood hang out for all the kids that don't have happy homes or just need to get away. Like I said hang on!!! MORE TO COME WITH MY SAGA!!!

Just Life!!

How complicated is your life?? Mine is very complicated. It is an ordinary one but feels complicated. My husband and I have 5 boys, as you probably read, well the 20 year old his girlfriend lives here with us. Well it is just a little crowded when you throw the 5 boys, the 2 of us and the girlfriend in a 1175 square foot house. That's just to start off with now add 5 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 baby turtles. Sound complicated yet. Well here is some more my 18 year old and my 11 year old are my biological boys. The 20 year old, the 12 year old, and the 8 year old they are the 3 my husband and I adopted 3 years ago. Well because their mom drank heavily and did drugs constantly through her pregnancies the 12 year old has a pulmonary stenosis, FAS(fetal alcohol syndrome), ADHD, and is slow in school. The 8 year old has ADHD also but he is extremely smart so he gets bored in class real easily. Recently, like during last term, my mother-in-law got diagnosed with inoperable cancer, she lives in Texas where we live in Nevada, so it is hard on my husband because he can't be there all the time. Sound complicated?? If this isn't enough I am what they call a clinically depressed individual. It's manageable though, must be, since I made the Dean's list here at Kaplan last term. It is complicated but I get through some way.
