About Me

Hi, My name is Crafty, or at least, that's what I like to call myself. I have another blog, all about my Crafty-ness. You can check it out HERE if you are interested. I am a 30 something year old wife and mother of 4. I married my high school sweetheart when I was 20. He was and is the man of my dreams. I couldn't have asked for a better man, friend, husband, father. He is the world to me. No matter how much we argue (really, I argue, he nods and says "sorry dear" most of the time), he will forever be the one I love. We have 4 brats children together. They keep us going, make us laugh and sometimes, bring us to tears. They are the reason we get out of bed everyday, they are the reason we hide out in our room some days. LOL!

So, back to me. Haahaa! My #1 dream in life was to be a DJ (disc jockey). I did that when I was 16 until I was 19 or so, maybe longer, I can't remember. It was the best job I ever had, but I knew it wasn't something I could or would do forever since I started when I was so young, and I only worked weekends from midnight to 6:00 a.m. shifts. I certainly wasn't going to travel around and pack up and move as the markets changed (that's what I told myself because I KNEW someone big and famous would hear me and beg me to come work for them). It was a blast though. If I was offered a new job in radio, I'd be all over it. I also worked in promotions at the radio station. Now, that was just as cool as the DJ gig. I'm a huge people person, I'm not afraid to be the center of attention, and I'm just as comfortable sitting alone in a corner and I certainly haven't ever met a stranger. That was right up my alley.

My 2nd dream in life was to be a writer. OK, so that didn't pan out, now I get to give it a shot through a blog. Hey, why not, right?

Those were my only real dreams. I never dreamed of being a wife, especially at 20 and I certainly didn't see myself being a mom, not at 23, or ever. Shoot, I didn't even really babysit in high school. All of my friends did, but not me, mostly because I didn't like kids. I never considered myself crafty and the thought of doing anything crafty would have sent me out of a room screaming.

Funny how life changes...or how we change with life. I was a wife at 20, a Mom at 23 and giving my shot at writing at 36. Yeah, it's mostly just for me, or maybe a few people who stumble onto this blog, but it's writing, so I can cross it off of my dream list.
