I honestly have no idea where I wish to go with this and I guess it will eventually just take on a nature of it’s own, as does most things I suppose. First a bit about me I suppose. I’m a 28 year old mother of two, Shannon (5) and Nicholas(2). They take up a lot of my time and patience, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. We have our days as a family… some are the ah, isn’t that just precious moments, and other are, well, let’s just say they are lucky I don’t seriously duct tape them down to a chair. I have learned though with dealing with them a sense of humor will go a long way in keeping your hair on your head and not on the floor. I work full time at nights and I take care of them during the day. I decided to cyber school my daughter, which before that I was homeschooling, so we sit down in the mornings and make reasonable attempts not to have her running to her room yelling that nobody understands her and get what work we can done. It usually goes well, but then there is usually Nicky to keep my on my toes with him getting into just about everything imaginable. You know, when your holding your new infant in your hands admiring how much like a cherub they look to you even if they have hair on the tops of their ears you never really think about all the damage they can do when you turn your back to pour some milk into a sippy…
I guess the next thing to talk about would be that I’m finishing on divorcing their father. He’s something special that only a mother could love and his mother told me not to marry him. Chalk something else up to being too stubborn for my own good. Though, the upside to that is I have met the most wonderful person in the world I do believe. Everything I have ever wanted in a man and more is all wrapped up in him. Dan, I love you. I know those words don’t really tell you just how much you have touched me, how deeply I care for you, and how much I enjoy just being with you, but for now they will have to work. I’m still working on another word, but they all fall short. Truthfully you are the one that gave me the courage to do something like this and to believe in myself. I could go on for a long time and not run out of wonderful things to say about you, but I think I will save that for later. Thank you though, for everything.
So, about me I suppose… I’m a southern woman living in the north and as the weather is turning colder, I find myself wishing I could fly south every winter. Yes, I still have my accent, but it’s not as heavy as it once was. My mind loves going off on tangents, hence the name of this site, so heaven help all of you trying to understand this. I love to read, draw, explore new places, get lost and see what I might find, walk in the woods, watch movies, crochet, embroidery, and I suppose crafts in general. I really don’t prefer the city and would love to move out to the country. I suppose there has to be more, but none that I’m thinking of right now. My hope is to keep updating this with anything my mind goes off on a tangent about, but we all know about the best laid plans, so here goes nothing.
