A little about us

Long before I started a family of my own I often spent every waking hour with my little sister.
We went through grade school together, child birth together, worked together, then college together.
I try to avoid being away from her for lengthy periods of time because she's some what of my moral compass lol. We are 2years apart but it feels like we're the same age.
You'll be hearing alot about her
 
  Steph and I
 
 
These are my girls.
from left to right: Tia, Kiki,Tuti, and Bri

                                                     Tia is 5yrs old and Bri is 8

                                                  Kiki is 6, about to be 7 in a few weeks 
                                            Miami is 3 weeks old,  "Emmy" is what she goes by

Last but not least is Tuti, she is 2 1/2
 
My 5 lovely daughters (the word lovely is up for interpretation)
 
 
The greatest boy in the world.....Stephan!!!!
I call him Phan. This is Steph's son but at our house all the kids are more like community property so he is kinda like my son too.

Lights Out!

My Dear Grandma, whom we affectionately call GumGum is a nut case. I think that she  was the ghost writer for that Trace Adkin song "Every Light In The House Is On".

This is the light thats been in our kitchen for the past 3 years. It definitely packs a punch. GG refuses to let anyone cut it off. Night time, day time its on. God forbid you turn it off she says we're trying to kill her. Me in particular.
It doesnt end there. The upstairs light has to stay on and so does the porch light.
For those of you who dont know, I just had a baby 15days ago. 2 days ago at 5am I heard a loud banging on the wall, so I jumped up to see what was going on. The upstairs light had burnt out and now GG was on the war path. She caught herself trying to be Sherlock Holmes and investigating this heinous crime. I was the prime suspect. She said she knows it was me because I want her dead so I can take her room, not only that, but so that I can throw parties without her talking smack.(never mind the fact that im married  w/5 kids) After 2 min of deep contemplation she says "oh it couldnt've been you, you just had a baby".  WTF?!?! This comes 5 days after the huge light in the kitchen burns out (a case in which I was undoubtly  a suspect but the evidence was PURELY circumstantial and..... we didnt change the bulbs for 3 years).
  • Your room isnt big enough to get me to commit murder,
  • Where would my kids be through these parties you speak of?
  • Why the hell do you need the light on during the day? Its DAY!!                             
IDK     I'm Confused as hell
