getting started

I tried to start a blog a while ago.  It was more out of desperation.  So I am starting another one.  I guess I worry that I will write the wrong thing, or embarass myself.   I have spent my life needing to guard what I say, fearing rejection or anger.  I guess I find it hard to believe anyone would be interested in what I would blog about.  I spend too much time second guessing myself and everyone/everything else.

So enough with the pity party thing, here we go.....

I am middle aged (can't believe I actually posted that!!), married 28 yeaars to the same guy.  Amazing these days  lol.  We have 3 fabulous chillins:

 #1 child is 25 and  working in another city only 45 miles from us.  I miss our Monday's at Barnes & Noble.  Hoping she can find a job here and we can start that up again.  She has a really nice boyfriend, for which we are grateful.

#2 is taking classes at our junior college.  He likes the cooking and theater classes.  He loves going to movies.  Having trouble finding work so we're still working on that.

#3 Just graduated from high school.  She works now and then babysitting for a couple familes.  One family, both parents work and they need her to fill in for a couple hours between the time one leaves for work and the other gets home.  She actually does a lot of baby sitting.  She's got her applications out in quite a few places so hoepfully that will work out soon.

My husband has worked for the post office for more than 20 years.  He is also with the army reserves.  He spent 6 months in Iraq.  But made it home healthy, physically, mentally and emotionally.

I work for a tax preparation company during tax season.  During the off season (April 20thish- Mid January) I work in that office 1 day a week.  Brings in a little extra money.   I did just put in my resume at a local mortgage office.  HOPING.

Time to set our steaks to marinate to bbq tonight yummmmmmm
