SO I watched Mom's Night Out last night and she was a blogger...I thought I have a blog..I do, it's all about books an promoting my favorite Indie Author's (Book Lover Amber is the name of that blog). In the movie she said she didn't have anything to say and that's why I normally didn't write personal things in that blog because no one wants to hear my thoughts. But I think I have too much in my head NOT to share it!
My name is Amber, I'm a wife and I have 114 children and counting! SAY WHAT?
I'm a director of a Christian daycare and I have 114 children that I see Monday through Friday. I've always wanted to be a mother and my husband and I have been trying for 5 years to have a child of our own. We have done fertility meds a few times and it didn't work. It broke my heart. I've got 4 nephews and a niece. I love to spend time with them and take them places. I actually just got home from a date with my 5 year old nephew. We went to see Big Hero 6. He loved it! I think of myself as a mother figure to these 114 children 8 hours a day; I just get a weekend break. Along with those 114 children I have 23 staff members and I feel like I'm their mom too: Don't do this, don't do that. Why don't you do this, why don't you do that so on and so on. Sometimes I'm so mentally exhausted I don't know how I can go on.
I don't handle stress well and I've found I'm a little scattered brain and can't keep on topic....you will see this continually along the way.
In my spare time I go to the gym since the doctor says my life will be perfect if I just loose weight. No, they don't really say that but I can go in for a headache and she tells me "Lose weight". FO REAL? The gym helps me with my tons and tons of stress. Anywho, I am a beta reader for some Indie Author's and I love it! I recently took on a role as Personal Assistant for my favorite author Tressa....this means she pays me a little bit of money to play around on facebook and twitter...I already do that since I'm addicted to stalking people on my own page. I love reading. I do a lot of reviews for authors on my book blog and facebook page. It's fun. I love to get lost in a book.
I'd like to give this blog thing a try again. I'd like to find other blogs that are as random as mine and see how those people's lives are. Mine is pretty normal I'd say. OH I FORGOT to tell you! My husband and I are foster parents! Well we will be finished up with all the paperwork and homestudy by Christmas! I can't wait to see what God has planned for us!
