Whoa. I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but it's been FIVE months since I had something to say out here. I find it absolutely amazing that I HAVEN'T had something to say in the last five months...because I ALWAYS have something to say, even if no one wants to hear it :)
I thought I'd come out here, dust the site off and put something fun up.
Since the kids started back to school, we've all been trying to find the happy medium of homework, bedtime, who's turn it is to let the dogs out or make mama's coffee in the morning...I have to tell you, I enjoy the routine and I probably hate homework as much as the chicklets do :) Tonight, tho, they each read me a paper they each had to do telling the kids in their class 4 things they may or may not know about them or 4 things that are important to them and why. Listening to each one of them read their papers, it amazes how different they are from each other, regardless of their closeness in age.
So, I thought it would be fun to do my own "4 things you may or may not know about me". I don't know why I thought this would be fun, those of you who know me, know I'm an open book...especially if you've spent any amount of time on my blog :) And I don't want that to sound like a bad thing. So, here goes....
#1 - I'm a big talker with nothing to back it up.
Yes, unfortunately this is a true statement. The only peeps who believe I have something to back up my big talk are my children. There is no one else on this earth scared of me and my mouth and this p!sses me off a little. I need to be the tough guy, it's who I am...it's who I've always been.
#2 - I like my popcorn burnt.
True statement. My family just had a conversation about this a couple of weeks ago. My sister has the same love that I do, when she admits it. Yes, it's sometimes gross, but the rest of the time it's a tasty treat. My house smells like complete a$$ after burning a bag in the microwave, but man is it good. And, bonus, I don't have to worry about sharing :)
#3 - I feel like half of a whole.
Ever since J left, I haven't felt complete. What I'm not saying here is that I'm unhappy with this feeling. Weird, right? It's taken almost 3 years for me to be at peace with my lot in life. It's taken me almost 3 years to be okay with being a single mom and doing things alone and for myself. It's taken me almost 3 years to like bossing myself around. I'm good at being independent :) Sometimes, TOO good. But, really, I'm ok with it because losing one thing made me realize the person I can be and am...I'm SBW!!! I'm a lot of things I truly believe I wouldn't have realized and become without the devastation I've walked thru. That said, it is what it is and really, truly everything happens for a reason.
#4 - Gosh...I'm a sucker for gushy love stories that make me want to puke but secretly I'm envious of them.
As if any of that crap happens in 'real life'. Come on...it really doesn't. Apparently, my sense of romance is lacking :) I love reading and watching these gushy love stories (and yeah, some of the books have some REALLY hot sex scenes where your imagination runs wild, but I 'skip' over those...sigh) but when the book is done and the movie is over I'm all, are you kidding me?!? That is not real life, dudes. That's just what we're all searching for...perfect. It's not out there. Period.
So there are 4 things you may or may not have known about me. You feel better now, don't you. I mean really, who doesn't want to know more about me? LMAO!!
Thanks for stopping in...
