Hi. Hello. Welcome. I always put off today what I can do tomorrow, but I’m
trying to turn over a new tree......and here we are. I guess the best place to start, is to tell you a little bit about me.....FYI, I hate talking about myself, the mundane things anyway. So you’ll find that I like to dress it up with a lot of off colored humor and swear words.
I’m a 46 year old single mama to three heathens, 18, 14 going on 35 and 11. Don’t get me wrong, my kids are amazing and they are my world, but dammit if I don’t understand why some mothers eat their young. Looking back now, it’s funny because I always said I wasn’t going to have kids, but life had other plans and I found myself knocked up at the age of 28..... .28 right? Like who doesn’t know better by that age? Lol. I can now say, mom has and will be the most important role I’ll ever play.
So you’re probably asking, but what landed you here in blog land? Well, almost two years ago, after being married for almost 15 years, I found myself unwillingly in the middle of a divorce. I will spare you the sordid details (and trust me, they were a plenty) and just say, writing is what I did to help me get past all the ugly. In all actuality, writing was something that was always very cathartic for me. Whether it was poetry, journaling, short stories, I was always able to express myself better in writing. Which in turn, helped me process whatever I happened to be going though. I have also always been a helper. A healer. A listener. I am most at peace with myself when I am helping others and connecting with people. So I thought, well, why not combine the two? Add in some comic relief, a very colorful vocabulary and real life stuff and just maybe, I could connect with others through it.
I’m not promising you all carb-free bread and chubby unicorns. I like real. I like raw. And sometimes those things aren’t very pretty, but if I can put a smile on your face or if you find yourself relating to any of my crazy life, then welcome, grab a seat and stay a while.
