So here goes with the epic first post. I have considered what to write and then reconsidered. With a title like Not my circus, Not my monkeys, one would wonder what kind of blog this might be. Well here goes..
I was told today that one of my bosses likes me... I am not sure why. I am not overly kind to him. I don't hang on his every word and I am not often kind when it comes to this particular individual. I asked him why he liked me, because I did not understand. He replied, 'because you are honest and honesty has become very undervalued.' He is right, honesty has become a very rare commodity. You will find it here. That and MY opinion. Hope that helps to understand that I am VERY opinionated.
I am a mother of 4 by birth and 6 from a very blended family and a grandmother to 6 wonderful little ones... I have 2 girls and 4 boys. They are all loved something fiercely and their parents are quite aware of it. I believe that a grandparent's job is to spoil their grandchildren, pump them up on candy and sunshine and then send them home to their parents. A kind of retribution for all of the death and destruction that the kids delivered to you while you were trying to raise them properly.
I married my high school sweetheart 25 years after he asked me. Our life since has been nothing short of a very grand adventure, some good, some not so much. An adventure all the same, I have loved almost every minute of it.
I think he came along when I needed him most, or he needed me most, we are not sure which. I just know for a fact that without him, I would be lost, or dead, or married to someone 20 years my junior. Not a bad thing for some people, but a real problem for me personally.
I am just glad that I survived the beginning of my life to make it to the next part of our grand adventure.
