Move over June & Ward....Jerry Springer is here to stay!

Hey y'all! I'm new at this "blog" thing so bare with while I learn the ropes. I thought this might be a good way to jot down some thoughts. I'm not saying that I always have a thought, but kinda like fishing, occasionally I get a good one worth keeping!

I am a 44 year old Mama, wife, daughter, sister, pre-school teacher and  friend. I married a man I barely knew...that was 23 years ago. It seems to be working out just fine....most days! We are still in love and I think for the most part, we're pretty happy about that. We have 2 wonderful kids, Jake & Laney. Jake is almost 15 and Laney is 11. They are funny, moody and beautiful!! We have decided to let them stay. Jake's height seems to be the topic of a lot of conversation...He is 6'4 or 5 and Glen is only 5'10....That in itself is pretty funny. I have 2 brothers, a sister-in law, a brother-in-law, 2 nieces, 3 nephews, 2 mother-in-laws, 2 father-in-laws & the best Mama anyone ever knew. As a child and on into my early 40's I thought I came from this "Leave it to Beaver" kind of family. Funny how life can slap you in the face sometimes and make you change the channel to "Jerry Springer!" I wasn't sure how I was gonna like this new channel. I have to be honest....at first, it flat out sucked!! But as I am watching, it is funny!! It has made me laugh more times than cry and I kinda like it. Who knew I would learn to love Jerry Springer? This is the channel where my son can draw "weiners" on the side windows of my van and me not know it until a friend pulls up next to me with a carload of laughing boys....this is also the channel where my mother, the bible beating baptist,  tells a nurse that medical marijuana may not be a bad thing after all....the same channel where Laney told me that she had "decided she was not going to have a period"....I am now addicted to this channel! I have taken the batteries out of the "clicker" because I have learned that this Jerry Springer world is much funnier than June & Ward!!
No matter what kind of family you think you have, if you all take a closer look, you too may find Jerry Springer at your dinner table!

So to my family and friends, no matter how looney you are....in the words of my Nana..."I love you big as the sky & better than strawberry pie!"
