Oh Bernard

Anyone who knows me, knows the awesomeness of The Nard. He never ceases to amaze me!! He is so sweet sometimes it just melts my heart!! We went to a Lenten kids' program on Wednesday this week and the topic is 7 deadly sins. They are using Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) to show the children examples of these sins. We started off with Augustus and tied gluttony and greed together. We watched a few scenes and then discussed greed, then we made a pig plate (most of them were too young to really get gluttony). Each person had to write something they were greedy about and put it on their pig to float down the "chocolate river". B wisely chose his "stuff"...he was honest about it and admitted he doesn't like to share. Nard was honest as well...but in his overly intelligent and super sweet way! He wrote down "Mom"...he is greedy about me and he doesn't want to share me. Ugh....melt my heart with your high-pitched voice!!

I must remind myself to not let him wrap me around his finger, with the ability to be completely opposite of everything that makes me "crazy mom"...because it's really not fair to B. He's a sweetheart and I adore him the same, but he does know how to push my buttons. He's very emotional and smart...which are a truly scary combo.

I love my job

I work with roofers, I work for roofers, I love roofers...but everywhere I go it smells like wintergreen chewing tobacco. Seriously!! How can something be super gross and kinda sexy?? I've tried it and understand the appeal, but I don't do it because (1) I don't want cancer and (2) no woman looks sexy with cud in her mouth. I'm a midwestern farmer's daughter and love a hard-working country man, but some of these habits are awful. Your crooked, long-cut smile turns me on, but the spit cup on the table makes me ill. Thank goodnss for pouches!!!!

Just getting started

I'm pretty new to blogging. While I understand it and stalk plenty of bloggers, I've never really done one of my own. For the most part, this is for me. I have a decent memory but would love to have a way to remember everything when I'm super old and can't.

B and the Nard are my whole world and will be the biggest part of anything I have to say. It's been a rough couple of years...well to be honest, it's been a rough "longer than that". I'm a divorcee (yeah that's my version of making it sound French). I have been divorced a year and a half and seperated an additional year to that. I was married for almost 10 years and we met in junior high....awwww (ppplllttt). We get along, but I can't stand him. He's a selfish douche lord!!! But enough about that...I try to let others form their own opinions.

So every other weekend, I'm a single lady...yep now that song is in my head and yours. I don't do much, school work and watch tv, sometimes a little dancing with friends. At 31, it is probably time to stop that...but since I look 22...I can still pull it off. I totally suck at relationships because I start off assuming it won't work out for some reason. So...as for getting started, this is it. I think the rest will come with time.
