Ok it's official, the cyber world has invaded my life.. Here I
was "minding my own business" (not really I guess) enjoying
ONE website thefatmanwalking.com and dear Steve suggested
reading Josie's postings on thelosthawaiian.blogsport.com
Well, I liked what she had to say so much I decided to
send her a little comment and
I now have my
own blog???? Public beware! I have opinions bursting
out of me almost all the time.
I'm a 36 year old, mother of 4..... I have a gorgeous
15 year old ( I could write ten pages on the love
story that is my firstborn!!) girl, a smoky
brown-eyed 14 year old stepdaughter who is
going to rule the world someday quietly from her
computer. I have an 8 year old who I have always
called my "joy-boy" because he is 100% happiness.
and finally, with my second husband, I have a 20
month old girl. She and my stepdaughter are the
gifts I get for trying so hard to get it right with the other two.
I have a wonderful husband of four years who is another
gift to me from God for something I never realized I did
somewhere in my life.
K.. nuff about my family here on earth.. I can't go on
without saying I am a Christian, I love God.. I believe
He loves me more than kind of love I'll ever know here.
He's been with me when I was eyeball deep in the muck
trying to get out myself out and after lots of flailing and
treading about.. I finally gave in... asked Him for help,
and he pulled me up washed me off, dressed me up in His
finest and promised to stay close to me if I promised to stay
close to Him. poof.. there's the big mystery there.. For me
that's all it took.. now there have been times in my life I
chose to take one step away, then two, then more and
inevitably wind up unhappy or worse.. down to the
marrow in my bones miserable... and I take a step
back to Him.. then another, the one more till I feel
myself back next to Him with the joy that comes
from a personal walk with Christ. K there's the disclaimer,
don't be surprised if He comes up from time to time, you've
been warned.
I have done the "career" thing, but am now living
my dream. Ok folk are you ready??? trumpets
sound... I stay home and raise my kids.....WHAT???
Did you all hear the trumpets squeak, stop and the band
give a collective, "huh??" I'm serious though! From the
time I was beating my brains in trying to work two jobs,
coach my daughters volleyball team, volunteer in her
classroom and juggle being the secretary of the PTO,
I have wanted to do that kid thing as my full time gig.
Some of you read this and chuckle knowing of what
I speak but I figure most of you are like, are you nuts???
Lets just end this "official blog page #1" with this...
Mom loves kids more than anything else you could
try to give me or make me earn.....
Mom loves hubby and thanks God every day for
bringing her such a wonderful, loving man!!!!!!
Mom loves God even more than the others above
and can barely wrap her brain around it..
have a blessed day!!!!!!
In Him (and loving every second of it)
