More About Me

32 and unretouched
This is me.

You might be wondering right about now, "What in tarnation is a Gremlin Wrangler?" I'm sure you've never heard of such a thing. But maybe you've heard of Gremlins, the movie? Remember how those little guys started out so cute, then grew up and started tearing everything up? Maybe it's just me, but I see some striking similarities in my own children. And before you judge me, you should just take a good, hard look at your own children. I'm sure if you looked hard enough, you'd see some gremlin-like qualities from time to time.

You should know I call my offspring "gremlins" with the utmost love and respect. That's where my wrangling skills come into play. I never intended to be any kind of Wrangler when I grew up. But in God's providence, He's granted me four little lives to mold and, now it's apparent, to wrangle.

Wrangling comes in many forms, at least in my life. Everywhere I look around here, I'm finding stuff to wrangle besides gremlins. For example, degenerate pets, customers in my line at work as a cashier, wonky appliances and domestic duties that I'm not really that good at. So I wrangle them. And lately I've can be found wrangling some cool peeps into letting me take their pictures and stuff. I take an insane amount of pictures.

It's my way of dealing with the madness around me. And this blog is where I share said madness
so maybe someone out there will get a laugh. I lurve to make people laugh. It's almost as much
fun as wrangling.

So am I some kind of super hero? If I told you, I'd have to kill you. So let's keep all this on
the down low.

Here's some other stuff you might want to know...

I homeschool my gremlins, I've been married to My Man since 1996. I want to publish some books when I grow up. And maybe play my songs for some people who will listen. I have a very full life and some of it I like, and some of it I don't. I try to find a reason to laugh at everything, if you haven't already noticed.

And I love randomness. For example, I draw, paint, sing, write fiction, non-fiction, non-sense, music, and the madness that is this blog. I love God's creation in the form of nature. I can't stand the sound/sensation of cotton balls rubbing up against their selves. I've gone from innocent child of God to total heathen to legalistic Christian to "I'm still a Christian, but with way more questions than answers."

I have no idea what I'm doing as a parent half the time so I'm just wingin' it with a hope and a prayer

I'm content.


Thanks for reading my crazy stuff.
