Mom of many heading into empty nest syndrome- come enjoy the ride!

About Me

My photo
Little Town in the middle of Nowhere, Texas, United States
I'm a mom of 4 boys: Jay who's 30, Jory who is 27, Tim is 25, and B is 23. I also have a daughter, Kristi who is 33. I have a grandson, Little Bit/Elmer, that was born in July 2009. I have a new grandson who was born in September of 2017. We moved from North TX to East TX on the land of our dreams in '09 and I love the peace and quiet. It's so nice to have trees again after 11 years of flat and hot. I enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'm a huge baseball fan. Some might even call me obsessed with the game. ;) My favorite teams are the Rangers and the Red Sox. Being a Red Sox fan makes life interesting as all 4 of my boys are Yankee fans. (Basically, I only started cheering for the Red Sox to give the boys a hard time and then actually became a fan) I'm a happily single (well...divorced) mom.

Guest post

When Dee asked me to write a guest post over at her blog a few days ago, I had one condition. If she were going to force me to write a guest post on hers, than she had to write one for me. Sounds fair right? (One advantage I have over Dee is that I still have my "?". ) She's much funnier than I am so I hope y'all enjoy today! One thing I would like to share before turning this over to Dee is that Little Man did get the job yesterday and starts work today. Thanks for all the well wishes! And now on to Dee....


Amy has asked me to guest post. I've never been asked before. I'm not one of the "cool kids". Hell, I don't even have a question mark!!! I'm like the ghetto, homeless bloglady. Without the shopping cart. Oh wait, that's a baglady, I'm slightly disoriented....

I think I have hyperthermia. No, it's hypothermia, right. (<--see no question mark.) I'm sitting outside in what I refer to as the smoking section. My SIL doesn't smoke, so I don't smoke in her house. It's 46 friggin degrees here!!!! I timed my laundry so it would be in the dryer when I came out, so I could hover over the dryer vent for warmth. How sad is that....Yeah, yeah, I know there are people in Oklahoma and um.....Texas who have snow and are seriously cold. Well guess what - I AM seriously cold too!! Just a warmer sort of cold than they are...

When Amy did a guest post for me, she was quick to point out that maybe I had welshed on the shrimp dinner I owed her. No. Not true. I told the woman to get her butt to Florida for a vacation soon, and I will
STUFF her with seafood! She will grow fins! Or maybe those lil lobster antennas. That would look kinda cute....okay, nevermind.

Anyway, WTH was I jabberin about...

Oh, I asked Amy for a topic, and she wouldn't give me one!!! Can you believe that! I'm flying blind here. She mentioned the weather, and the shrimp dinner, and then just turned me loose. Apparently she doesn't yet know me well enough to realize how dangerous I can be with no direction! Good thing she didn't give me the keys to her blog!

I'd have took that sum-gun mudding! Slung dirt all over the place. Got speeding tickets. Tickets for turning without using a signal. Those of you who read me semi-regularly know how crazy I am.

All jokes aside, Amy is an amazing, caring, intelligent person. I owe her so much more than a shrimp dinner. People who don't blog do not understand how friendships can be built online, so solidly cemented. Ours is one that crossed over into what we call "real life". No meetings,yet, but phone calls & texts. She's talked me down from the edge of a cliff more than once, with her wise words.

Love ya, Amy. Sorry I'm not as eloquent as you....

mwahhh!!!
