Ok, so it's not a show, but sometimes I feel like it is. It is, however, reality. Sometimes, well most times, I think if only there was a camera running to catch that, and that, and well....everything. So let me introduce you to the crew. I am Honey, a thirty something divorced mom of seven. I didn't put my age for two reasons: 1) I don't really remember without out doing the math because I've been lying for so long and 2) I just don't wanna!
So onto the crew, first there is Di'Shon my oldest son, he is 19 and a freshman in college. He is a video game head and an amazing artist.
Shayla is my 16 year old daughter. Need I say anything more?! She is a junior in high school studying theatre. She has done tech, acting, and writing. She's a little emo, has little patience for people and the stuff that come with them.
Dontay is my 14 year old son. He loves basketball, shoes, and socks. He is a freshman studying graphic arts.
Sherae is my 13 year old daughter. She is a sweetheart, in the 8th grade, and a little tomboyish. She is on the girl's basketball team. She has the body for it I guess, tall, slim, huge feet but then again, she could also be a model. LOL She has a great sense of humor and is a great mommy's helper.
Shanay is my 8 year old. She is in the 2nd grade. She is really smart and is a cutie. She has been in two beauty pageants and took home first place in one of them. I tried to get her into modeling but nothing ever came out of it, plus I don't think I had the time needed to devote to it. She is in her first year of ballet and tap. She has her recital in April. I'm so excited She gets in the most trouble, I think because of her placement among the siblings. I'm sure it's hard. Poor baby :( keep reading and you'll see why
Deion is my 4 year old son. Happy and hyper. He rarely sits still long enough to do anything like eat or learn. He is receiving behavior therapy because he just doesn't listen. He also took first place in a beauty pageant once and won best personality. He has a great sense of humor but tires me out! oh yeah, he has a twin.
Devon is my other 4 year old son, fraternal twin of Deion. He is a high functioning autistic child who is prone to meltdowns on a daily basis. The smallest thing can set him off. Things like someone walking into a room that he is in or someone sitting in his yellow chair. Sounds simple? It isn't. He also has a sensory processing disorder. He cannot take loud noises and he loves to smell everything. He is in therapy a couple of times a week. He is a joy when he's in a great mood and has the cutest smile with dimples but DON'T MAKE HIM MAD!! sounds like a horror movie....
I do not work. I suffer from aplastic anemia as well as depression. I have an A.A.S. in interpreter prep from community college and I was seven classes away from obtaining a B.A. in Deaf Studies from a university when I discovered I was pregnant with the twins. Things changed after that. I had a C-section, then surgery on my right wrist for De Quervain's tenosynovitis (dih-kwer-VAINS ten-oh-sine-oh-VIE-tis), then I had my gall bladder removed. I couldn't exercise like I wanted and still can't (or don't).
That is the fundamentals of the family, stay tuned for the adventures of single with seven. On future episodes, you will learn more about the kids' likes and dislikes, their quirks and idiosyncrasies, my hobbies (yes I have some), how I manage with special needs kids, recommended books and recipes, money saving tips and just stuff.
This should prove to be interesting...
