My Point Is......

 As a mother of six children, I have to say that everyone on the planet has an opinion of how to raise kids. Everyday someone is either giving me some kind of advice on what works to make sure that my children become proper upstanding citizens. I will go far enough to say that it has been said time and time again that it takes a village to raise a child. In my case apparently it takes a metropolis.

 The idea of The Hair Dye Chronicles came from my ex-husband who used to joke about someday writing a book about the exploits of me and my eldest daughter fighting constantly over dying her hair different colors on a monthly basis. It became a joke with us every time one of our children did something that made us laugh or shocked us to the point of disbelief. We would say to them, "You just made The Chronicles." Neither of us actually wrote any of it down, but there were several events that will always be permanently scarred into my brain as either the funniest moments in history or near death experiences. Finally, a few years ago I did start writing down a few and with it came a realization that I could actually tell people my experiences myself.

Now I'm not here to tell anyone how to raise their kids because it drives me nuts for people to do that to me. It's almost as bad as when I tell someone I have six kids and they ask, "Don't you know what causes that?"
(Yes, I am completely aware. Thank you for the gesture into my sexual life.) I am here to tell how I raise MY kids and how my own children have taught me what being a parent is about. I hope you will find some enjoyment from my everyday chaos. It is completely maddening at times and completely rewarding at others. This blog will have lots of quoted moments from my own children's mouth as well as some other people. I swear on all that's real in the world that everything you read is completely truthful, even if it sounds absurd..........
