Welcome to Milehimama.com! This is an expansion of my longtime blog Mama Says over at Blogger.
Get a cup of coffee and come join me as I relate life as a homeschooling mother of not-quite-9 children, freelance writer, and master of the half-baked plan.
Cast of Characters:
Milehimama: I was raised in and near the Mile Hi City, Denver, CO and it’s in my blood forever. I’m a freelance writer as well as homeschool mom.
Husband dear: We’ve been married for 13 years, and he’s an industrial instrument fitter. That means he hooks up the gauges that tell you if the plant is going to blow. I call him husband dear because when he sees the standard blog abbreviation DH he thinks the D stands for Darn. Well, not “darn”, but you get the drift.
Mr R: My oldest boy, 12 years old. He has red hair and a temper to match.He was diagnosed as bipolar at age 6, and we treat his disorder without prescription drugs. He aspires to be a naturalist, catching snakes and reptiles for a living and having his own show like Jeff Corwin or Steve Irwin.
Mr P: Just 13 months younger than his brother, he’s the most mature of the children, even though he’s a total goof. Favorite things include computer games, hunting turtles, and hatching schemes to make money.
Miss E: 9 years old, and the oldest girl, but she’s not a sissy. Her hair is crazy and she has a zany personality to match! She loves animals, especially dophins, horses, and dogs. She reminds me of my older sister a lot!
Mr S: 8 years old and loves to tag along with whatever his brothers and sisters are doing. He just made his first best friend.
Miss V: Age 6, she’s just old enough to tag along on adventures with the big kids. She’s my little nut brown girl – a brunette with gray eyes and a natural tan. Her favorite thing is playing tea party.
Miss C: Our little redhead girl is 4 years old. She’s a firecracker who keeps us on our toes. She’s been to the ER more than all the other children combined, including two different rounds of glue stitches.
Mr X: Our little 3 year old has a head full of curly red hair. He’s our little enigma – he has high blood pressure with no known cause and he doesn’t speak well at all. He speaks in full sentences but his articulation is very low and he has few consonant sounds. He definitely has lots of opinions and lots to say, though!
Baby A: Our sweet baby girl, born June 2009. She adores music and breaks out into a spontaneous dance any time she hears it. She loves to talk, although she doesn’t speak English. Or any other recognizable language.
