About me…well, I think I am a GenX’r (is that right?) that is never as cool as I want to think I am. I am alternately more comfortable either making you laugh or making you cry, depending on my mood. And as such, I have been told I should have been either a stand-up comedian or trial attorney. So I guess I am just a really funny bitch, correct?

 And just when you THINK you know me, you really don’t.

 I found my love in life in a whole new way…and have not looked back once. I spent the first part of my life as Wife of Him…now I will spend the rest as Girlfriend of Her…deal with it or not…it’s me…

 I make more than my fair share of mistakes and I am alternately the world’s Meanest Mom or the Coolest Mom depending on the financial needs and/or curfew negotiations…

 I am a mommy of two…. one teenager, one wanting to be a teenager.  They are amazing kids and the whole reason for my every waking moment.  They are also the source of 98% of all frustration, agony, joy and merriment in my life.

I am on the FBI top ten list of greatest control freaks walking free. Much to my daughter’s constant frustration and my amusement. I usually have an alibi for everything and will blame my baby sister for as much as I can. If that doesn’t work, I blame the kids…

Our home is one of organized chaos.  As hard as I fight to keep a tight rein on the household, it slips away like my niece straight outta the bath tub…..

I am an accounting manager, which is completely ironic seeing as I hated my accounting classes and math in school…go figure.  I have also fallen into the Executive Assistant category on more occasions than not, which I have found that I am really good at running someone else’s life.  I can organize someone and have a gift for getting the answer to a question before the question is asked.

I have a knack for being someone that people completely confide in.  Some of the most intimate, personal details of their lives, they see fit to share with me.  I don’t ask for this gift, it was bestowed upon me early in my young adulthood and you would be surprised that the fountain of personal detail I have bubbling beneath my surface.  Some of this knowledge makes me uncomfortable, some makes me feel the need to shower, yet all of it honors me that the person telling me such secrets, trusts me enough to do so.

I am strong in my faith.  My spirituality often surprises many.  I somehow come off like a heathen, but deep down, I rely completely in my faith in God.  I know that in this day and age, it’s not so cool to be so faithful, but I proudly wear my faith on my sleeve and can talk for HOURS about it to anyone who will listen.    My faith carries me and I pray daily that I be that Christian person that leads a fulfilling, honest life.  I fall off the path, often, but I am guided right back where I should be.

 I have the best friends that you can ever have and I don’t share them well at all. I am not the best friend you can have, I do try, but I don’t return phone calls and I am terrible at remembering birthdays. However, I am fierce and protective to a fault. These folks are my warriors and I think of them as my family of choice. Don’t hurt me, don’t hurt them…you won’t walk away without a limp!!!

 I can find the funny in anything.  Folks at Wal Mart fascinate me.  I have concluded that in my lifetime, common sense will no longer win any race and stupid will become the majority.  Which is equally exciting and horrifying, mostly at the same time.  I can also find the “dirty” in most anything, but that would make this a COMPLETELY different blog.  Stupidity in the human race makes me smile and is my inspiration. 

This is me, my blog…. you get a glance in my head.  Hold on tight…it’s like a roller coaster ride with Sybil at the switch!!!!
