OK, I couldn't resist the post title! As I embark on my first blog, all I kept thinking of was that book, you know the one that every young girl had to read to learn about periods and sex and stuff. That was a special book when I was a kid. It meant you were about to "blossom" and get "your friend" as my Aunt would say! Anyway, This is the very first blog I am writing, and I am sure it lacks in many categories compared to the pro's out there. I have not done any research on how a "good" blog should read, or tricks and tools. To be honest, I am starting this because I am at a very strange place in life. I thought maybe if I share my stories and reach other people in my shoes... I might have a chance of feeling like I am not losing my mind!
My Story -
We all have a story and I certainly don't plan on boring you with my every detail. I am like most women I know my age. I was born in '75, grew up in a burb of Chicago. My parents divorced and both remarried. I have a brother and a few step siblings. I had a pretty normal childhood... everyone worked, nobody had addictions or abuse (other those damn wooden spoons!). We had plenty of your typical family experiences...fighting, mixed in with vacations, mixed in with school and chores, mixed in with boys and trouble .. it was the dream.
I moved on and tried college for a few years, then I met my husband at a dance club. I was about to celebrate my 23rd birthday. He was wearing a horrible outfit, and I was slightly overweight and desperate, Hahaha, It was a match made in heaven! Seriously though, I felt like I had met my Angel. We danced the night away and the romance started shortly after. I have been through a lot in the past 14 years. Some experiences may shock you, others may make you sad, some will make you laugh till you cry! You might think I am crazy or making some of it up. Truth is, I have been holding in many of my memories. You will learn that my pride and being respected is a big thing for me. I am really not even sure where that comes from, but what people think of me is very important. Therefore, most of the gems in this blog are stories that have been untold. I think I am at a point in my life where I want to share my experiences. Love them or leave them, they are mine. They have made me who I am today. I am not perfect, I hope that I am funny and easy to love! I am a mother, a wife (for now... more to come on that!), a professional, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a psychopath. Enjoy!!
