First time

This is the first time ever doing this. What to say, what to type, what NOT to type is now on my mind. Will anyone read this, does anyone really care what a typical wife and mom goes thru day to day? We will see. I will do my best to be honest, and lively and write in colors. My Grandmother had a gift of writing and people have said I do too. We will see about that.

A bit about me tho, I am 39 (sigh) and living in a small, town in Michigan. I have a husband, a 5 year old son, a 20 year old horse, a donkey, several chickens, a turkey, a dog and a cat. I work full time outside of the home. I am involved with our county 4H horse program and church. I would like to learn a new hobby-knitting, but I think people might think that is too old fashion. I worry all the time about everyday things. What is going on at home? Is Brad being taken care of at school? Did Thunder and Elmer get out of the pasture? Not obsessive, but enough. I have a year to turn 40-but that is another story for another post.

I have just a few close friends. Depsite my outwardness, I don't really hang out with others much. I know who I like and I know how like me. I know a LOT of people, but I wouldn't hang out with them. Heidi, my friend of 30 years, is wonderful. She just had a little boy, Drake, who finally grew into his skin! How can little babies have so much skin? It reminds me of those dogs-Shar Pays? Whatever...he is 6 months now and so kissable. I love fat baby legs. I wish it was ok to love fat adult legs! Dawn is another close friend. We worked together at Meijer back in the late 1980's to early 1990's. She is a hoot and love her. She has twins that will be starting Kindergarden this year. They are a completly different story. Is it bad to not want friends kids over to your house? Chandra is my horse friend. She doesn't have children so we have drifted apart some over the last few years. Plus she is involved with a dick. Tom and I don't care for him, other people I know ask if he coming over when they know she is coming so they don't have to come...I wish she would do better. But, you tolerate and try...that is all I can do. Just wish the best. She knows how Tom and I feel about him.

My life is pretty standard, just full of colorful people. You will see.
