I thought this post would help people here get to know me better. Enjoy.

*I am 33 years old and have been married to my husband (who is 43) for 14 years.

*We live is one of the many burbs outside of Dallas and have been living in the same old house for 10 years.

*It took all of those 10 years for me to convince my extremely cheap husband to replace the carpets with wood floor.

*I have 4 kids ages 2 to 13 so off white carpet was really stupid idea.

*It was in the house when we got it.

*Sometimes I am really lonely and wish I had a few more good friends.

*I am shy. That is probably why I only have a small amount of friends.

*I can be brutally honest.

*Sometimes, I tell a little too much about me too soon.

*I was abused as a child by my Step-Mom. We have actually worked through it and are friends now.

*My Dad was/is an alcoholic. He is one of those annoyingly happy when he has been drinking drunks. He is a good guy though and I feel bad for him.

*I was also sexually abused as a child. I never want to see another child go through that. I carry guilt around with me every day because I never told anyone. I keep wondering how many other kids went through it because I was too scared to tell?

*I am trying to let that go.

*I love the internet and don't do anything unless I Google it first.

*I have Googled myself.

*I have a sister who lives in Boston. We were reunited after many, many years.

*I love her dearly.

*I am a SAHM but I am ready to get back into the work force.

*That scares the hell out of me.

*I am overweight and don't like being that way but...why does food have to be so damn good?

*I was a band geek and still live it through my oldest son who plays the trumpet.

*I am terrified of my daughter and puberty.

*My daughter has ADHD (and so does my son but not the hyper part of it). It makes life with her difficult at times.

*She is something special...she wants to be a teacher. I hope she enjoys being poor!

*My middle boy was reading by age 2 1/2. His favorite book was the Lexmark printer manual.

*The baby was a HUGE surprise. We had just decided a few month earlier to shut down the baby shop.

*I cried when I found out...and not tears of joy. I thought I miscarried at 10 weeks and then I knew just how much I really wanted him.

*I always learn a lot about myself when I write these kinds of posts.

*I hope I did not bore you too much.
