Things...

I wasn't going to do this but why not? My friend Mel's post inspired me to do it and thought it would give others a good insight into me and how I work.

Rules: Write 35 unknown facts about yourself . (I did a few extra..lol)

Introduction

I use to be an avid blogger however life got in the way of this hobby. Well life is still crazy, however I have learned to balance it a little better, so I am starting all over here. So I will do a basic introduction post to get things started.

I am a single  stay at home mom who is raising two beautiful boys ages 10 and 9.  I attend college full time and am working very hard towards earning two degrees. One in Chemical Dependency and one in Human Services. I am currently in my third semester and have at least three more to go. I currently have a 3.0 GPA and am working to improve it while  I try to maintain a healthy balance between being a student and a parent. Not so easily done.

I have many great friends and a wonderful supportive family who I love dearly. I try to remain positive about the world and life but cant help to be cynical at times.  I am extremely sarcastic and know it annoys many, but there are a few who adore it and them I treasure most in my life. I have been told that I am extremely blunt and can come off harsh at times, and for the most part I see it as just being honest. If what I say hurts you and you don't like it, well then I see it like this: you can either learn to deal with it or you can move on.

I have a lot of pet peeves, however my biggest pet peeve is stupid and ignorant people (and yes there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance). I have no tolerance for ignorant people. As a friend once stated to me  "I don't know why they call it common sense, because its not that common!" I think she summed it up well.

 Well I think this is a good start, and am going to end here for now.
