So, several people have told me I should write a book with all of the crazy crap that goes on in my life. Like I have time for that!! A blog, maybe I can handle that. It's a way to be productive with my insomnia time - if I'm not going to sleep maybe I can write.
The next issue - blog about what? I loaded and ran the dishwasher today - hardly blog-worthy stuff. Not that lesser things aren't blogged about daily (oi, is 'blog' a verb as well as a noun?).
Well, as the title implies, motherhood is a big part of my life. I'm a single, older mom of twins. Babyroo and Buckaroo are 3yo b/g twins who pretty much run me ragged, challenge my sanity and give me a reason to get up every morning. We have a Neopolitan Mastiff who is the successor to my first two 'kids' - 2 english Mastiffs, who passed away between the kids being born (2 months early) and their departure from the NICU. Talk about a sucky chunk of my life! We got our Big Boy 2 months after the kids came home from the hospital. He was a year old and came from Neo Rescue. Love him dearly.
As for hobbies, if you buy it at JoAnn Fabrics or the SHOTshow it's probably something I like. I'm an NRA certified handgun instructor, though my shotguns are my favorites - if I must choose a fave in the arsenal.
I also knit, sew, machine embroider, rubber stamp, basket weave, ribbon craft, make jewelry and am learning to smock. I like to cook and garden. I'm also learning belly dance and trying to get the guts up to do it publicly. Of course, I write this as if I have time for any of it. Most days are purely survival.
Right now I'd be happy to get the kids potty trained, keep Buckeroo from taking his clothes off all of the time and get rid of the preschool plague that has infested my upper respiratory system.
I'm not exactly June Cleaver. If you're more Calamity Jane than June drop me a comment and join the wild ride that is my life. It may not be exotic but it's never dull.
