Why did I start a blog….. Well, guess I got tired of being a lonely SAHM (stay at home mom) that I needed a friend. Well, just some adult conversation really. So I figured why not a blog, I can write my feelings, thoughts about the what’s happening around the world, my opinions on different subjects and just pour out whatever is hiding in me.
So as I already told you I am a SAHM for 10 ½ years now. So yes my entire adult life I have been a SAHM. My husband and I met at work and have been together ever since. No we are not legally married but after 12 years I think we have a right to be husband and wife, legally or not. After all there is common law marriages. Our story actually starts out with a typical title ‘good girl meets bad boy’.
We worked at a small car wash and just as any small workplace/town, rumor gets around quick. Well, at that time, long ago in another life for me, I did drugs. Yes I tried cocaine. Well, it was a VERY brief period of my life, as I never let it control my life. For that reason, the family that I was living with kicked me out. Not legal family but family. So word got around at the car wash and MyLove happened to not have a place either, he asked if we could get together to find a place to live, help us out. Let me remind you, I was alone, after being kicked out I had to live in my car in a town I had just moved into a month earlier and barely 21. So of course I jumped into MyLove’s help so we could split the cost of things. Friends with benefits ended up in a 12 year relationship! At first, believe it or not, I was scared of MyLove. He’s a big dude and 10 years older than me. But he turned out to be a teddy bear, mind you though still a bad boy.
Yes we did drugs for the first year of our relationship but as soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped cold turkey. I think that’s one of the great things about me, I have strong will if I need it, such as quitting the dope and cigarettes.
We traveled and ended up in Mississippi and had our first daughter (who I will call #1, for 1st daughter) in 2000. She changed my life around and getting out of the drug world. I went straight from freely single, to meeting my soul mate, doping around, to having my 1st kid all before I was 22. MyLove was what I call, in mid-life crisis since we had #1. First, he was into skateboarding, well I mean he’s been athletic his whole life, motorcycles, skateboarding, mountain biking, hockey, hill-climbing, so its not like this whole sport thing was new BUT it hasn’t stopped!!! So first skateboarding, then inline hockey (big difference from his ice hockey experience), then off road motorcycles, dessert motorcycle racing, pool playing, fishing, you know what I’m not going on. But you get my drift. But I’m still here with him no matter what he’s doing and where we are. I say that because we have moved around A LOT, in our 12 years together.
Texas, we met.
Fla., to meet his parents.
MS., 2 ½ yrs before Katrina took our house by the beach.
CA, where dessert racing began.
TX, again with the in-laws.
ID, why, I don’t know but daughter #2 was born!
CO, where I have always wanted to live.
