Introduction	I am a stay at home mom of 7 (4 boys, 3 girls), ranging in age from 26 down to 10. I spend a fair amount of time looking at them and wondering if their real mom is ever coming home. I have been married for 27 years to a man that catches bad guys for a living. This means that when things get broken around the house and no one will confess to it, he can dust for fingerprints. I like to describe my life as "comfortable chaos."
