Hello World of Internet Blog Readers and Information Seekers!!
My name is Victoria and I have 5 kids; 4 Handsome Prince and 1 Beautiful Princess.
This is my 4th attempt of a blog. My other ones failed because I just didn't put any time or effort into them, and made the excuse of "because I have no time..." etc, etc, etc.
I realized that I do have time, and that I need "ME" time in my busy life in order to keep myself mentally stable.
So here we go.

Where I am at now....
It all started 8 years ago... Summertime... I was 17 years old. I was a pregnant teenager, unmarried, dropped out of school, blah blah blah...
So in the end I have 4 sons and 1 daughter and I'm turning 26 years old in April.
Its been a struggle to get where I am at now. The sad part is that I am still struggling, but I am working hard to get better and not let things hold or bring me down.
I got my GED and CPR. Two things that I have accomplished and made myself proud of. I still want to go back to school for something. I haven't decided on what I want to do career wise. Whatever I choose, I will have to make sacrifices such as not seeing my children as often as I see them now. I think that's the hard part for me. Learning to let go and adapt to something new.
Another thing for me is learning to love myself and care for myself. How can I care and love others if I don't do it to myself. It was hard when I had my daughter. My hormones were off the chart and I was super-duper moody. Then after I gave birth I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression. It was hard on my family. I had to take medication for it. Then one day I just said "NO". No more wasting my time on something that's not helping me or my family. So I went off the medications cold-turkey and thought about the good things in my life. Like my kids and my hubby. I still fight with myself, but I try to remind myself of little happy things like how my babies smile when I play with them.
[Postpartum Depression or Any kind of Depression is serious stuff, so if your feeling blue, angry, or lazy, call your doctor and get on it right away. Don't be embarrass. Its more common than you think. I will post up more information about later.]
Money. Money. Money.
I have none and I don't like it. I am on social assistance and it drives me nuts. I want to get off of it. It's so hard to find work and child care at the same time. My hubby is doing his best but it's not enough, and I can see it. I personally want to work, but what stopping me is that I need money for child care first, which I don't have. I need to work on spending my money wisely and learn to budget.
So I got to work on myself, learn how to budget, raise good healthy and responsible kids, and keep a clean & organized home because I suck at it. This is what my blog is going to be about My Journey Through Motherhood :P
I will be posting up links, book titles, etc. throughout my blog just to let you know where I got the information from to help me through this journey.
Until next post... Take Care! and Live Like There's No Tomorrow!!

Being a mom is no easy job, but it is the most rewarding. You get paid everyday but not with money, but with love, smiles, hugs, and kisses.
