About Me

My photo
I'm a stay-at-home mother (not by choice) of two unruly little girls. I have been married for 16 years to the same man and we haven't killed each other yet!! My children and I are Floridians by birth and have recently transplanted to Canada... I was coerced into blogging because it was said that things I say can or may be interesting.... we'll see about that. Welcome to my random rants about daily life, bitches and anything else that may keep my sleepless brain up at night - and me along with it. And ..... let's begin!

Let's play... Getting to Know Your Blogger

I did this on Facebook where you had to put down 25 Random Facts About Yourself.......Although, not many participated I thought it was a good idea to get to know your friends in a different light.  I'm breathing life back into this idea. 

1. I am an original, true Floridian - born and raised and recently moved to Canada.  Montreal is nice, the language barrier is frustrating and the change of seasons is awesome!


2. After my brother divorced his wife, she and I remained very close.


3. My favorite method of communication is screaming and yelling.  I hate that I do it, but I don't know how to stop.  My mother was a yeller and I guess you can call me Old Yeller!!  Oh, that was corny. 


4. I'm a tattoo addict.  I would be Kat Von D and covered in ink but I often think what will this look like when I'm 60. 


5. Although I would deny it if ever asked, I am truly a southerner!! I eat sausage gravy and biscuits
every chance I get!!


6. My personality allows me to make friends easily, but my lack of self esteem doesn't help in keeping
them.


7. I regret not being a better daughter to my mother.


8. Secretly wish that I had a dirty job that involved outdoor activities.  In fact, any job would be nice right now.  This transitional period while waiting for our immigration is driving me insane. 


9. Forgives easily and forgets nothing!!!


10. I have a hard time moving forward when I can blame myself and live in the past.


11. I have a hard time thinking positive - the glass is half empty, never half full!! Unless there is liquor in said glass....  then the glass is always full but on its way to being empty!!


12. I love to laugh and enjoy imitating voices or making jokes. I believe that is my security blanket.  I hide behind the jokes because I am afraid to face my pain.


13. I long to be skinny!! I am a skinny bitch that a fat lady ate!!!


14. Wishes to have the ability to stand up for myself at any given time to say no and to make my own
decisions! Would someone tell me when I can do that?!!


15. Fearful that I am not a good enough mother.  I am really, truly trying to be a good one but at times it is very hard. 


16. Has a niece that is 20 years old that I haven't seen since she was 6 and really wish that my brother
hadn't made the mistakes that he made that caused her to be taken from our family.


17. DYSFUNCTIONAL - is a word that describes my family!!


18.  I regret not having the opportunity to be closer to my mother's family.  I have so many family members that I have never met or haven't seen in many years.  All of whom are very gifted and worth knowing. 
19. I am a hypochondriac.......  If there is a symptom - I have diagnosed myself with the most severe disease ever and think I am dying from said disease. 


20. I never had a cast.  Broke my nose once though...


21. My support group consists of a small group of women that each contribute something to me with their different personalities.  I love each of them and call them my FAMILY!!!   N, A, K & K!!


22. I am extremely attracted to men with tattoos and piercings.  I guess the 'bad boy' is always my weakness. 


23. I am disgusted by alcohol/drug abuse. I've seen it ruin lives up close.


24. I dream about making better memories for my kids.  I want them to have the best childhood ever although when referring to #15, I have to work on my parenting skills. 
25. I am a dog lover but I hate walking them and feeding them.  I hate cats.  They are so evil and self absorbed.  Blecchh!!
