I am the proud momma to 5 wonderful kids and one fabulous husband. We live in West Virginia. My kids are homeschooled and we run a bit of a circus around here. My little ones have a genetic problem that includes autistic behaviors and multiple medical problems. It has been a long journey for us so far. We have gotten stronger through the grace of God. Now you may ask what is with the cat herding title. If you can remember a few years ago there was a superbowl commercial. You saw grisly, dusty cowboys sitting around the fire recalling their hard day. Then you notice that they are herding cats not cows. For me a cat lover that was hilarilous! My image of cat herding is you gently push forward and the cats scatter to the four winds. Now imagine 5 kids in a grocery store. Three have high functioning autism but real sensory seekers and one with severe ADHD. That is a riot in kid form. I often feel sorry for the store and the other people in it after we tear through. That is until I have somebody lean in and tell me my kids are energetic but the nicest kids they have met. AHH! they are cute! As for why I am over on the homesteading blog. I was born and raised on dairy farms in Northen Ohio. I married after the Navy and my hubby and I watched over a herd of angora goats for a farmer that's barn burnt. We loved it. Since then we have tried to move towards that place in the country. It helps that our kids need only organic because the allergies they have. We want to have an organic farm with nut trees, orchard and some farm animals. Right now I am caught on the edge of suburbia. Yuck! But I am using this time to learn canning and storing away foods. Gardening and getting seed for next year. All sorts of general skills and knowledge I can get. I hope to make many friends out there! I would love to learn from you! So God bless you abundantly and give you peace! |
