Ryleigh 2nd b'day

I don''t know where to begin so here it goes: My partner and I have been together for 2 years after discovering each other whilst both being in unpleasant relationships. Ian, my best friend, my lover, and the biggest spunk on the planet has 6 children from previous relationships ( you could say he was a bit wild in his younger days). I had 3 children when we got together. Soon after though we found out i was pregnant with my 4th child.  Ian and I had a beautiful little boy together. Our children together makes 10 (how exhausting).

We live in a small country town and caused a lot of gossip for a while because we used to be neighbours and all partied together. Ian''''s ex-partner, whom he had 4 children with, was an alcoholic and sending them in to a whirlwind of unpaid bills, my story very similar, partner who enjoyed alcohol and loved a bet on the races, meanwhile leaving me to struggle with the bills. We like to say we rescued each other from uncertain futures.  Ian and I spoke in confidence on many occassions about our problems and eventually discovered the love we felt for each other. Now we are accepted in this tiny town because people can see that we were meant to be.

This web site is great because now i have a lounge!! The tiny house we live in does not have room for one. That has been converted in to our bedroom. Our house is just about bursting at the seams with clothes, toys, and BEDS. Not much else fits.  We recently bought a caravan so we could have some personal space plus we needed the extra storage. (10 kids worth of xmas presents is very hard to hide).

All of our children have their own personalities and are a lot of fun (most of the time). Zack who is Ian''''s 12 yr old son has autism. We both are stay at home parents as our children take up all of our time. We are constantly cooking, cleaning, washing clothes and picking up kids toys, ohh and interneting that we really don''''t have time for but it is our only hobby. We are allowed one even with all these kids surely. We decided our previous hobby kept producing children and we should stop that for a while. HA HA.

Thanks for reading, Cherine.
