Hiya!

In February, 2012, my husband and I had a come-to-Jesus meeting and ascertained that my current occupation, "mom", wasn't cutting it. I needed to do more, or else we would lose the dream house we'd purchased 9 short months prior.

 With that in mind, I set out to find a career that I could a)actually make an income doing, b)had flexible hours, and c)allowed me to wear yoga pants. I love yoga pants.

 Almost a year later, here we are! My first DCB (daycare baby) started in April, 2012, and I haven't looked back. I love this job, more than I ever thought I would, and plan to continue doing it for a very, very long time. In fact, we've toyed with the idea of buying another house and using it just for the daycare so that we can have a home-based daycare, but get around the pesky you-can't-run-a-business-here HOA regulations.

So, welcome! I plan to highlight the activities and (mis)adventures of a young (hey, I'm not 30 yet, I'll claim young) mom working to raise a family of 5 kids while balancing the needs and desires of another 6 kids on a daily basis.

 Hang on, y'all. It's a bumpy ride. I'm looking forward to seeing you around as I navigate potty training multiple toddlers, settling squabbles, and avoiding burnout.

 As for the cast of characters you'll hear about, we've got:
 Miss Sarah: me
Mister B: my husband
Torah: our oldest daughter
Neenee: our middle daughter
Sam: our youngest daughter
Jax: our oldest son
Cha-wee: our youngest son
 DCBs 1-6: Wy, We, Zo, Al, Ru, and Av.

 Please do comment. I'm aching for adult conversation.
