Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hello, Interweb!  It has been several years since my last blog and I am excited to be starting a new one.  While many online writers find their groove in niche blogging, I just want to share my thoughts...and ramble...and sometimes bitch.  So, if you are organized, meticulous, or a perfectionist, you may be in for a bit of whiplash.  If you are sensitive, easily offended, or lack a sense of humor, you will also probably not want to subscribe.

To my established friends and family who may be reading this, hello and I love you!  Thank you for being a part of my story and being a blessing to my life, whether it was when you came in to it or when you left it.  To those who have not made my acquaintance yet, allow me to introduce myself...

I am the almost 40-year-old mother of five kids with only 2.5 of those kids still at home.  My oldest has blessed us with our first and only granddaughter. I have been married to my husband for almost 7 years, and this is my third marriage and his first.  It took me three tries to get it right, but he rocked it the first time, obviously.  (There's also a lot to be said for waiting until you are old enough to put someone else before yourself.)

I have a wide variety of interests, ranging as far apart as crocheting and riding my motorcycle every given chance.  I am also loud and proud about my faith and love for the Lord, while continuing to embrace and love my non-religious and Pagan friends.  I believe that if you love everyone for who they are and let God sort out the rest, every one is better off for it.

However, I didn't alway have such a steadfast trust in God's plan for my life.  I did it my way, or other's ways, the wrong ways...for far too long and I was living in a sufferable hell on a daily basis as a result of my choices and actions.   This blog will help share and purge some of that.  Not all of my stories will be happy and not all will be tragic.  I might write about some seriously disturbing topics at times, with an appropriate disclaimer when warranted.  If my words are not for you, please have enough respect to move on.  If my words or my stories touch you to your soul and bring a renewed perspective that opens your eyes, awesome!

Until we meet again, I love you and thank you for sharing in this journey.

Mrs. Mayhem
