Just Who Is The Queen of Quite A Lot?--- Let Me Introduce Myself in Feeling like Sybil

I was looking at the “data” page on this blog site the other day and saw that several people are actually maybe reading my drivel and I do already know who a few of you are.. but some of you might be new to me, so I thought I’d introduce myself properly. (I’m all about the manners, yanno!)

The Queen.. in a nutshell:

~I am an approaching 50 mom and stepmom of four teen/young adult children.
There’s Son#1… he’s 21 and starting his senior year in college.
There’s the boychild… he is 17, stands 6‘5”, and will be a senior in high school this fall.
And there’s the girlchild. She is about to be 16 in a couple more weeks, will be a junior in high school this fall, stands taller than her dear old mom, and thinks that SHE is the queen of it all. (Which we know is not true, since I am!)
They will be the topic of many stories here, I’m sure. I also have a 25 year old stepson who comes to our house on the weekends. He’s quiet, doesn’t do much.. not much food for fodder there, but ya never know!

~I am the wife of a business man. We’ve been married 10 years now. I’ll have to share the story of how we met sometime, it’s kinda cool. He owns the local tv station in our area. He puts in a lot of hours and can’t get away from it much. I’ll probably not talk about him a whole lot on here, respecting his privacy and all since some of you know him, but just want to add that he is a good man… a great husband. He takes care of me, supports me, nurtures me.. and provides me with more laughs in a day’s time than I ever thought possible. (and gives the best foot rubs on the planet.. without my asking!)

~I am the daughter of 2 in-not-so-good health parents who live 75 miles away, and the daughter-in-law of an alzheimerish yet not quite come to terms with it mother of an only child. #stressofanewkind

~I am a school teacher. Been molding the minds of littles for 26 years now. 19 of those years have been in 1st grade, but I’ve also taught Kindergarten and preschool, and took a year and a half off to sub pretty much full time when Son#1 was born. (that’s a story for another day, too!)

~I am a TV Talk Show Host. The tv station my husband owns has a daily talk show, featuring a new show everyday Monday-Friday. For several years it had a host, then it had another host. Then the job kinda fell in my lap. (again.. a story for another time!.. wow, I’m racking up future entries here!)
I’ve been getting to meet, “interview” (and I use that term lightly) and share people’s goals, achievements, and passions for about two and a half years now. And I LOVE IT! I’ve found my second career for when I retire from the teaching field.

~I enjoy fast food (why of course I want fries with that! Did someone say “run for the border?”) slow food, …heck! who am I kidding? I enjoy most all food as long as the meat ain’t raw… and the occasional fruity libation. I love to shop, but not always buy things… go to movies.. spend time with friends… and sing and dance. Preferably in the car. With the girlchild. Which embarrasses her. #funforme #notforher

~I am a Southern girl… born and raised. I was born in Oklahoma, but for all except one year spent in northern California, (wow.. yet another story for another day), I have been an Arkansas girl. I love my Razorback Football team, sweet tea, southern accent, and conservative views and I wouldn’t change a thing about that.

~I am a Christian. I love the Lord, I have a relationship with Jesus, but I’m not preachy. I know what I believe, put I don’t push my beliefs on anyone. I will gladly discuss my conservative opinions and thoughts with anyone who asks, but this will not be a politics filled, opinionated type blog.

~I am also a procrastinator… a taker on-er of too much at once… a can’t say no (but trying to learn how) girl… an over user of the ellipse.... (as you can see).. I type like I talk (which is why there are so many ellipses and parenthesis) and I love a good hashtag (not to link to anything necessarily, just to show the underthoughts or mumblings of my mind after I’ve said something.) I always have the best intentions, yet somehow the majority of them are never seen to fruition. It’s not that I don’t care enough, I just seem to have stuff come up a lot that takes priority over whatever good deed/idea I want to do. And I forget… a lot. #shorttermmemoryproblems

~I’m here to have fun. I’ve been reading some great blogs by some wonderful ladies lately, making friends with some of them, and they (along with real life friends) have encouraged me to start my own blog. “You’re so funny on Facebook, you should start a blog!” I’ve heard that often enough over the past few years that I thought, “ok, why not?” So… here I am. This is a new experience for me.

~I am open (sometimes too much of an oversharer), honest, and love to laugh.
I also love feedback! So please comment here or on the Facebook page I set up to support this thing.

I am writing to share my thoughts. I hope you can relate, can laugh with me, or sometimes at me, and can sympathize alongside me sometimes.

This is who I am.
