Okay, this is my first blog, so bare with me..........here we go.
My name is Amy. I live in Texas with my husband Mike, and my two beautiful girls Madison & Bailey. I met my husband in February 2001 while I lived in Dallas, TX. To be honest I wasn't attracted to him at first. The second time we met it was a more intimate setting and we were able to talk, this is when the attraction started. He is the funniest person I have ever met, and he never ceases to make me laugh even when it's inappropriate, or I'm just plain pissed at him. We found out I was pregnant in March of 2002, and Madison was born in October. We moved to my home town right after she was born. Three years later we found out I was pregnant again, and Bailey was born in December 2005.
I have a GREAT job and a WONDERFUL boss. I work with blind and visually impaired college students. We try to help them to become successful, independent people. Since I work with students, I meet new people every semester which is great. I also like that my kids will have the "experience" of socializing with people who are sometimes considered incapable of doing things for themselves. These, of course, are the thoughts of ignorance. It is much harder to explain to a 4 yr old why someone has a cane or a dog guide than you might think, but the questions that arise from a 4 yr old are priceless, I will talk more about that in future blogs.
I have a small group of friends, but that's fine by me. I have two sisters and a brother, all younger. There is much more to the siblings, but that can be talked about in blogs to come. I, of course, have my mother and father, but I also have a step-mother, and a 1st step-mother, a step-father, and will have another step-father probably before the year is up. Now I know this may be hard to understand right now, but if you stay with my blog you will soon understand everything.
Now you can imagine how blessed my children are to have all of these people in their lives, not because they will be loved extra, but because of the amount of gifts they get on holidays is down right amazing........for them, not us. We are the ones who have to find room for them, and take them out of their Fort Knox boxes with the jaws of life. Now nobody knows this, but we usually put some of the toys "away" and use them as good behavior gifts. Is that horrible? Oh well I don't care if it is or not, we do it for sanity purposes. Trust me!
Speaking of sanity, I need to get ready for bed if I want to be sane tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to read my new blog. I will see you in a few days.
