Today is the first day of the rest of my life! I believe that I have heard that somewhere before and I thought today would be an appropriate time to use that phrase.
I am an active duty U.S. Marine that is currently forward deployed. My husband is in the Navy (and also deployed). We have 2 little boys together, ages 15 months and 2 years old. I also have 2 stepsons that are 13 and 8. We usually reside in Lemon Grove, CA...though it's getting a little harder to remember what my house looks like. I think that my husband left my car at my house, where my nanny is temporarily staying while we are gone, but I can't really be sure. I guess I should ask her if it's there.
I am interested in many things and will probably write about them as I get time. I am pretty knowledgeable about family, children, CHILDBIRTH, fitness, arts and crafts, travel, the war(s), the military, women's issues, sports, Arabic flies, and many, many other topics. I have recently become much more interested in politics than ever before. Common sense is something that belongs in government but is rarely present. This will probably be mentioned in most of my posts.
Some random things about me...
I have very little will power. I hate to diet. I love to spend money...though I don't love to shop in the traditional sense. I am very impulsive. I am usually too honest. I love my kids. I have many unfinished projects. I love "hands on" work. I am probably overpaid. I am often underestimated at first. I love my family and my friends. I don't like the effort that it often takes to meet new people. I change my hair all the time. I wear a size 12 but would really love to be a size 10. I am an extrovert and I thrive off of the people around me. If I am alone for too long I might just go a little crazy. I am a little crazy anyway. Funny things happen to me all the time. I read the news multiple times a day. I love to read novels and write in first person. I win almost every argument that I take part in. I know everything.
This is going to be fun, I can feel it!
