My life as an OC housewife...organized chaos that is!!!

Organized Chaos seems to be the story of my life since becoming a wife and mother.
I am 38 years old married to an amazing guy and have 5, yes, that is not a typo, 5 wonderful children that keep me on my toes every day! Oh, and can't forget the 2 dogs and a bunny!
I spend my days cleaning up messes, putting out fires, playing referee, being a doctor, chef, chauffeur, party planner, psychologist, and my favorite job, cuddling expert!
There is never a dull or quiet moment at my house!
And then as if my plate isn't full enough there is life that happens without warning, in August of 2010 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a major blow to our entire family.
Since my diagnosis I've made adjustments to my life to improve my quality of life and am doing incredibly well. I am a proactive patient, I do my homework and will try anything to slow the progression of this disease to maximize my quality of life.
Don't worry, this blog isn't going to be me boo-hooing about MS all the time, I may vent from time to time but I am a very optimistic person and will most likely be blogging about exciting new things I'm doing to kick MS's butt, the wild and crazy antics of my kids that keep me laughing, and other fun stuff like the adventures of motherhood, friendships, husbands, and anything else that may come up in my life as an "OC housewife"!
