So here it is...didn't think I'd be back this soon. I'm here to share my thoughts on being the "Married, Single Mom". Have any of you experienced this phenomenon? It sounds strange, but it does in fact happen. So what is it? It's when you're married to someone who works so many hours...that you are essentially single. Welcome to the life of a truckers wife! You never know when he'll be home..whether to hold dinner or not, or to let the kids stay up to see Daddy....it can be quite the conundrum. I will share with you how to overcome this obstacle and still have some kind of structure in your life. Stay tuned!

Introductions

Hello, hello, hello! This is my first blog and opportunity to introduce myself and my family to you. My name is Kiley Fair and I am stay at home mommy to four beautiful children (another one or two on the way), and wife to my wonderful husband John. We have a fairly crazy life...Emma is 5, the twins - Jack and Abby are 22 months, Sophie (We all call her "Foofie") is 10 months, and we are expecting again. At 12 weeks preggo we suspect twins again, but have opted to wait till 18 months for our first sonogram. Hey...what can I say? Surprise can be fun!

Anyways...this is just a quick intro to our family and what I hope to accomplish here. If nothing else, I hope to amuse you all with some annecdotes from our family. For me, I'm hoping to share the little bit of wisdom I've gained through my life experiences as a mom - from working mom, to single working mom, to full time stay at home mom on a wicked budget!....So...I hope you read and we'll see where it goes!
