Background

I'm overwhelmed....that's what I want to say...so many hours, so many days, so many weeks of constant insanity and I don't ever feel like I'll reach the end of it.  In the meantime I start some new project, assignment, etc. that is suppose to make our lives better.  Oh yeah...did I mention I'm a Christian?  Yeah, because I'm so overwhelmed I often forget to include the most important thing in my life....God. 
Ok, a little background might help you understand where I'm coming from.  I'm a mother, I'm sure you got that, however...my husband and I have a family of 11...yes, that would overwhelm anybody you say...well, that's not the 1/2 of it.  First off, we are remarried, so that means we have stepchildren, and ex's to deal with as well.  Our children includes a...21 year old girl (just married this year), 19 year old girl (also married this year), 17 year old girl, 16 year boy, 13 year old boy, 12 year old boy, 11 year old girl, 3 year old girl, and a 11 month old girl.  That's it, right?  I have to double check...yep, that the kids.  My husband had the oldest 4, I had the next 3, and the 2 youngest are both of ours. 
My husband and I have been married for 4 1/2 years, meaning we are still working through the bumps.  When we first got married, I was in nursing school, and the 4 of us moved in with my husband and his 4 kids.  Since, then we have moved into a house of our own; we bought a fixer upper and have been working through that process (the majority is finished).  Since we also have children of our own, it means I've been pregnant and/or breastfeeding as well as working/stay at home mom ever since we got married. 
So, my husband & I met at church.  We both watched each other go through divorces that weren't of our own choosing.  The main thing that attracted us to each other was our love for the Lord and commitment to our marriages (it's a long story, but trust me, we both tried to make them work for years - even after infidelity).  Our church has been the biggest constant in our lives, but that has been going through big changes the last 4 years or so too (mostly due to pastor changes). 
Well, that about sums it up.  With a few of the "little" details I through in, I'm sure you can understand why I'm overwhelmed and I haven't even begun to explain the schooling situations, lol.
