About Me

I have another, more specific blog, that talks about the trials of having a child with a chronic disease. I've been blogging there for over 3 years. But, lately, I've wanted to rant or vent or curse about other things. Things like politics, sometimes religion. Other times it's just about an event that happened in my life that day.

Because my blog is on such a specific topic and because all of my family reads it, I don't want to go into those things there. So, I've decided to do it here.

So, this is me, uncensored.

I'm 35. I was raised in the south. I'm a mom to two wonderful boys and the wife to a good husband. I'm a Republican, I'm a Christian, and I'm opinionated.

I'm not your typical Republican. All of my views are not conservative. For example, I am for strict gun control. I am also against capitol punishment. But, I'm also pro-life and against big government of any kind. I have been known to vote for a Democrat from time to time, but I'm not proud of it. I believe you should vote based on which candidate lies the best to fit your views. I guess I just think the republicans lie a little better than the Democrats.

I am also not what most view as a typical Christian. I am by no means a Bible thumper. I do believe that the Bible is the Divine Word of God. I try to live my life as Christ-like as possible. At the same time, I screw up. I've (gasp) fornicated. I've said things about other people that aren't very nice (I'm sure there will be more of that here on this blog). For the most part I'm a good person, but I'm not a great person. I don't pretend to be any better than anyone else.

As far as being opinionated goes, I'm not really very typical about that either. I take time to review the facts and form an opinion. My opinion is never swayed by what others think. At the same time, I can usually see where the other person is coming from and why they feel that way. But, when I'm right, I'm right. And, if I didn't think I was right I wouldn't have an opinion about it.

I see most things in black and white. There is not a lot of gray in my world. What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. I've found that most people don't feel that way. Most people think there are loop holes to just about anything. Again, murder, wrong, wrong wrong. Honesty, always right.

I'm stubborn and independent. But, not as independent as I used to be. I've been married going on 9 years now and I hate how dependant I've become on that man. I love him to death, but to be dependant on someone allows them to control a part of you. I'm not too great at giving over control of anything.

I'm not the best housekeeper in the world. I could lie and say my house is so messy because I'd rather spend time with my kids. Although I do spend plenty of times with my kids, my house-cleaning time is usually spent on the couch playing computer games or reading a book.

I'm a very honest person. My motto is: "Don't ask me a question you don't want the answer to." I will always give you an answer, my honest opinion. Don't expect me to tell you what you want to hear. I don't have a whole lot of respect for people who do tell you what you want to hear.

I have a snarky sense of humor. It gets me in trouble sometimes. I think sometimes people think I'm being mean when really I'm not. It's just my sense of humor. I'm sarcastic as hell.

Anyway, I guess that gives you a little bit of an understanding of me. I hope you'll keep reading.
