Do you know me - Again

This had been a weird week for me. Twice in the last week, someone has put words in my mouth. Gotta tell ya, that really irritates me. For someone to tell ME what I am for or against when I haven't even told them yet or to tell me how I feel about something when I haven't told them yet is just bullshit in my book.

So, I thought I would repost something I posted a long time ago. A lot of you have already read it because you have been with me that long but some of you haven't. Also, I added a few.

It was titled "Do You Know Me"

Nope, you don't. Not really. But, I don't really know you either. If you have read my blog, you know that my kids drive me crazy at times (who's doesn't) and that I love them so much (who doesn't). You know how I met Hubby and that he too can drive me crazy. But you also know that I love him. You also know that I love my parents. And you also know that Little Man has diabetes and that Toot is so funny and Smiley likes to piss her off. Oh ya, and that I got hurt a lot as a kid. And everything else I choose to share with you.

But there is so much more to me that you don't know.I was reading a post by someone else today that really made me think. What do we really know about each person that we read about? Not a lot I'm guessing. Only what they choose to share with me and you. And, how nice of them to actually tell us what they do. When someone leaves a bad or nasty comment, that just shows what kind of person the one leaving the nasty comment truly is. Or, is on that day.

I'm going to tell you about me, the real me. And, if you don't like it then please, feel free to never read my blog again. If you don't like me after reading this, I probably don't want you reading it anyway. I'd rather have one reader that likes me than 100 that don't. That's just how I roll.

So here's a little (or a lot, depending how it goes) about the true me (and I'm not going to explain a whole lot). Some, I am proud of, some, not so much. Either way, that's what made me and who I am. Love it or leave it.

I don't lie to my kids or anyone else about who I truly am.

I got pregnant at 16 and had Little Man at 17.

I cuss. And I say 'cuss' instead of 'curse'. I also cuss in front of my kids but they don't. They know it is grown up words and that they are not allowed to say those words.

I am a major dog person and not a cat person. Love dogs! Cat's bug me but the kids love them (and I do too sometimes).

I treat people how I would like to be treated most of the time.

Sometimes I am a total bitch to Hubby and other people, but I always apologize when I am (now).

I drink beer and love it. Wine and the hard stuff just makes me stupid so I don't drink it (anymore).

I did drugs in high school. Not all the time but did try a lot. I don't anymore(and haven't for about 9 years) and wouldn't allow anyone to do them in my house or around my kids.

I don't care what people think of me UNLESS it is that I am a bad Mom. That one pisses me off because I am one hell of a Mom.

I am not a good housekeeper at all. I would rather play with my kids or be on the computer.

I have 3 tattoos and don't regret them. You can only see them if I want you to. And I want one more.

I have taken out 3 piercings that I got when I was 18. Once again, you couldn't see those unless I wanted you to.

I had some really bad shit happen to me when I was younger.

I have had some really bad shit happen to me since I have become an adult.

I don't act like a victim. Those things helped make me who I am today.

I have a low self esteem some of the time.

I have battled depression most of my life but have learned to deal and when I can't, don't feel bad about taking meds.

I love riding back roads with Hubby.

We say "I love you" more than anyone I know and we mean it.

I love all kinds of music. Some of my favorites are Guns and Roses, Hank Jr., NOFX, Nickleback, (original) Misfits, Brad Paisley, Randy Travis, Kid Rock, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and my Hubby. Punk rock, Rock, Old country, New country, 80's rock, R&B, some rap, and 50's stuff. I like it all except classical.

I speak my mind.

I am a Christian.

I sin.

I ask for to be forgiven.

I don't go to church.

I rarely wear make-up.

I rarely 'fix' my hair.

I don't like to dress up or wear dresses.

I am silly.

I am emotional a lot.

I was in an abusive relationship for a while. (I never understood woman that were in one until I was that woman and still kinda don't get it)

I love chick flicks and horror movies.

I let my 4 year old daughter watch scary movies because she LOVES them.

I tell my kids all the time how cute/pretty/handsome they are.

I tell them when they are driving me crazy.

I protect them from anything and everything I think might hurt their hearts and souls.

I am very smart. Book smart and street smart (by that I mean, I made straight A's all threw school and have common sense). I graduated high school 1 year early because it was so easy to do. I was very close to getting my degree in college but decided I didn't want to do that forever. But, when I don't know the answer, I admit it. And then I find out the answer.

I would take the diabetes from my son and put it in me if I could.

I would die for my kids.

I shaved my head at 14. It's just hair, it will (and did) grow back.

I was raised in Ft. Worth and loved it.

I was raised by a west Texas country boy and an Army brat Mom.

I now live in a tiny town and love it.

I hate to shop for me but love to shop for my kids.

I have a small family even though I have 4 older brothers. One Mom, one Dad, four brothers, one great-grandfather, one grandmother, one aunt, two cousins, and one nephew and two nieces.

I can't stand our current president.

I believe I have high morals that I teach to my kids.

I am scared to get a shot but have to give them to my son all the time.

I always try to do what is best for my children, even if I don't always like it.

If I don't like you, you will know.

The only thing I truly want for my children if for them to be happy with who they are. The rest will fall into place.

And, I write long post!!!!

That is just a little, there is a lot more to me and everyone else you read about. Remember that next time you want to leave a nasty or rude comment.

It was nice to actually write all that. Pretty much, what you see is what you get, once you really see me.

If you truly open your eyes, the world is a much brighter place.
