Hello Again..

        While taking a "break" from writing this wonderful blog of mine, I have had people wonder... why? In the time that I've been absent from these posts school has started, job searches have taken place and pretty much LIFE has tried to run me over. I've noticed that my audience has grown a little bit since the first post and that is amazing. To put it out there for my loyal readers (like my mother..) and other friends or people who like a good laugh here and there in general, I more than likely won't be writing every SINGLE day. (You can grab a Kleenex and wipe your eyes, I'll wait...) Ok. :) I'm going to go for a couple days a week at LEAST. But seeing as how there are readers out there who both know me personally and those who do not, this particular page will give you a tiny insight into who I am... Could this hinder the decision of you reading any more after this post... Possibly. Does that bother me... Not really. ;) So here we go.. A tiny window to get a glimpse of me.. a Super tired Super Mom....

        I do have a name but I rarely ever hear it. I go by a string of nick names or pet names and the one I hear the most is "Mom". I'm not very tall, 5'2" to be honest and yes, I wait for tall people to pass me at the grocery store to help me get the thing I need on the top shelf ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK. (Happened more than once..) I have been described using the following words: Creative, manipulative, stubborn, willful, caring, impulsive, impatient, competitive, protective, and well lets face it.. that list can go on and on in either direction. (Depending on who you talk to!) :) If it were up to me, I would bake more than I would actually cook. I get thrills out of scaring people and hearing them scream. Halloween is my hands down favorite holiday (easy to see why!). Even if I am not 100% sure I can do something, I would rather try and do it instead of WAITING for someone else to get around to doing it (hence... Impatient...) I'm not afraid of the dark, spiders, ghosts or anything like that but I do have a weakness.. Snakes. And it's not like I see one and screech then laugh about it kind of scared.. More like if one slithered across my foot or fell on me from a tree I would die of sudden shock or stroke kind of scared.. Laugh it up.. I dare you! :P I roll my eyes about as much as I breathe (says my husband anyway.. exaggerated? I think so!!) I probably know every Disney song out there especially from the older ones which my kids think is weird even though they watch movies that I watched WAY BACK WHEN when they were "new". I have played both roles of stay at home mom and go to work mom, both of which can be exhausting and not pay enough. I some times sleep better after watching a scary movie or reading a creepy book. (I don't get it either.. must be an inner psycho kind of thing..) I believe a friendship goes two ways as in both parties have the same capabilities of contacting the other person and making it last. Lucky for me, I have a handful of close friends with no boundaries that I can just be ME with. If you don't, I suggest finding some. It rocks! I have learned that kindness can easily be mistaken for weakness and unfortunately there are plenty of people who feed on those kind of discoveries. Gaming to me is a healthy, safe way to unleash rage or just have fun in your "me time". (No, I don't dedicate HOURS to a console or spend long enough time on there to where my eyes hurt when I blink, a hobby is one thing, an obsession is another..) I can easily sit and watch reruns of shows that I love and amazingly, still laugh at some! I don't drink coffee or anything like that to "wake up" in the morning. Pepsi is my "fix" and I even have to limit myself on that. (Once, I went 68 days with NO soda or ANY caffeine filled drinks and the first three days of that was like detox for an addict... Not fun my friends.. not fun.. Now, in moderation is key!) ;) Give me a second while I grab a quick sip... Ahh.. Ok. I believe that family should be your number one support system and lifeline without needing to have them as a crutch. My family is amazing and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I appreciate everything I have in my life MORE because I have had to work and sacrifice wants for needs more than once. I am fully stocked and ready to go with quips, jokes and sarcasm at the drop of a hat. (It IS a skill! Trust me...) I live for my family and because of that I could easily apply these professions to my Super Mom resume`... Chef, chauffer, maid, laundry mat specialist, tutor, gardener, entertainer, doctor, lawyer, judge, fairy tale character, singer, dancer, trainer, therapist, narrator, negotiator, personal shopper, body guard, detective, and so SO much more. Easy to see where any super mom can become super tired! That was your "glimpse". I'll give you another day of life next time! Good to be back... :) -Super Mom
