At the age of 44 (45 is only a couple of months away) I have decided that I am almost halfway through my life. I think 90 will be a good time to kick-the-bucket because hopefully, I will get to see a lot more stuff and by then I shouldn’t care that no one listens to me. I will just be terrorizing my daughters and telling my grandchildren the stories of my life. (Knowing my memory they will be mostly made up but they will be exciting.) This page is for me to share what it is like to be me and how the people in my life are impacted.
Little background. I have lived in Northern Virginia (near DC) my entire life. Seriously! All I do is move further and further away from the craziness that is the city. At some point I am going to end up in West Virginia but not if my husband has anything to say about it. (To my WV people: I love visiting but you don’t want me there any more than I want to be.) My Hubby (Odin) is my second husband. They say you marry your first for love (in my case for pregnancy) and the second for money (OK that, but really love). He is amazing and puts up with me which says a lot about him and his inner strength since I am always right even when I am wrong.
My children are a blessing and a royal pain in the butt. We have 3 daughters with a classic yours, mine and ours but thankfully not as many children as they had in the movie starring Lucille Ball. The oldest (The Therapist) is so bright and caring but is a lot like her father so that says enough. She is married to a great guy (The Mechanic) and they gave us our first granddaughter (Song Bird) in May. Then there is the middle one (BiP) who is funny and creative but is a lot like me which is why you will hear a lot about us butting heads (not physically, but emotionally). She just had a baby girl (Itty Bitty) a few days ago. Last is Aspie Girl who is so amazing and of course the youngest. As you can see from her name she has Asperger’s (a form of Autism) so the world when you are around her is always interesting but yet exhausting. Odin calls her my “Mini Me” and she is, plus as a bonus, she follows my directions, unlike the others.
In addition, the ones above I have wonderful parents, half-siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and more. Then add my co-workers and my classmates from my MBA program. As you can tell there are plenty of people I will be writing you about. Good news for you….sounds like a lot of work for me.
So please, please follow me and pass on my page to others. It will be worth a read!
You are witty writer – entertaining & intriguing! Keep blogging and I will keep following ❤️
