Her name is Nathalie

Where has the time gone? My daughter is starting her sophomore year of high school tomorrow. Dang I remember when she was starting kindergarten at St. Francis Elementary! She and I went shopping today and we had a great time (even though I cannot stand back to school shopping). When we were done we shared a yogurt and as I looked across the table at her it dawned on me. She's 15...sophomore...what was I doing when I was 15? Yikes lol. I was already a sneaky teen although I blame most of that on Barbara. She hasnt had a boyfriend yet but she's such a beauty I know its coming. I was teasing her on how the family van will probably be her first car! "Its free" I told her. Im lucky to have a kid I can relate to and who wants to spend time with me. Hopefully she will stay away from the teenage minefield of sex, drugs, alcohol, smokin and whatever other fun stuff is out there. Stay sweet Natty!Here is a pic of her in kindergarten....

I love him

His name is Michael. He is the peanut butter to my jelly. He is devoted to me and doesnt possess any nasty habits like others I have been with have had. No smoking, drinking, drugs, and I can safely and surely say he is all mine (no straying) . Been together for 6+ years and we plan on keeping each other. It takes a whole lot of man to handle my array of BS. Mike knows all my faults from snoring to a quick temper but he loves me anyway. He is loving, we laugh all the time and we have a rockin sex life which is....effin fantastic. He has 3 kids which in the beginning I was scared to take on as I only have dealt with one but our house runs pretty smoothly. He is a hard worker but deserves better than Cal Fire ECC (too much drama). Im damn lucky.

Welcome to my blog

There are just some things I don't want to post on Facebook, especially now that my daughter can see everything I write. Also, I'm going through a lot right now and need an outlet. A change in career, impending surgery and someday in the future, facing another marriage that I cannot wait to seal can drive someone a little batty. So I will try to keep it interesting but what you will get is JO. An honest, no punches pulled look at the good and the bad of my life.
