Introduction to Me

I decided to create this blog to help document the crazy and sometimes unbelievable events of my life!  I will not use real names but all the events will be as real as I can share them with you.  I hope you come away with a few lessons on life while I share this adventure of my life.  I hope I can learn lessons by sharing it.  All my posts will come from my life and my heart!  There will be no made up stories, no exaggeration, just my life as it unfolds.

My friends and I have always joked about writing a book about the craziness of my life.  I figured I would use modern technology to help me share the unbelievable, often amazing, very stressful, full of love and many blessings stories of my day to day life!

To describe me...not very interesting at all but here is what I think and mostly know about me.  I am the oldest of 4 children.  I am the daughter of an alcoholic father who now suffers from dementia. I work full time for the State.  I am the very proud Mom of three young men.  I am married to my best friend for over 20 years.  Two of my sons are members of the United States Army.  One of my sons is a volunteer firefighter.  I could stand to lose about 75 lbs.  I swear like a truck driver, especially when mad.  I am blessed by having 7 of the best friends any girl could ask for, they each in their own way are amazing!  I am a pretty reasonable person until someone messes with my children or I feel backed into a corner, then it's no holds barred.  I can be vicious.  In all honesty I am my own worst enemy, I am my biggest critic.  I try to do everything as I would want done for me.  I was diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder and mild depression 3 1/2 yrs ago, just prior to my oldest son's deployment to Iraq. A year ago I moved in with my parents to help them with day to day living.  I am truly blessed to not have suffered the lose of a parent.  I am a jack of all trades kind of girl but really a master of none.  I love to read, especially suspension and self help books.  I am a gramma to a beautiful grandson with a new one on the way.  Becoming a gramma has truly been the most amazing experience of my life. I believe in God and call on him often.  I do not attend church and I am sure after a few reads you may understand why..maybe it's an excuse but nothing in my life ever goes as planned. 
So sit back, grab a drink, a bowl of popcorn and buckle up cause you about to join me on the ride of your life!!

Remember to take time to take care of you!
