My Life In The Heartland!: Lets catchup on me.

So, for those who don't know me I decided to start this blog after my friend Anna started a blog and told me I would enjoy it! This is gonna be sort of a Diary type Journal Entry.... so here is the 411 on my life... this will get you up to date and then you can follow from there.

So I grew up in Lenoir City TN, I have lived on a farm my whole life, I lived in Tellico plains around a year as a Teenager but mostly stayed stationary in Lenoir City. Yes I was awkward growing up but my life left me wondering who I was and questioning weather I should be around or not. I finally found myself and brought myself out of all of that! I had close friends a time or two, but never close enough for me to be their pick! There was always someone better than me they would put me out for! Just so you know that doesn't bother me just saying that, that is how I come to be the way I am today!

I have learned that in fact if it don't kill me it has made me stronger in one way or another!

The day I turned 18 I started smoking thank you to my friends at the time who smoked and to my stupid head for allowing that to start. I quit however when I got pregnant at 20 with my daughter Kailey.. I quit cold Turkey which was very hard and sometimes just down right miserable. I love children but have a sort of OCD and I have spent many years correcting it. For some reason I get stressed real easy even though you think I wouldn't I don't know what causes this but hopefully they will find a cure soon.

My best friend is Anna H. She and I like similar things, like old life styles. Although I can't recall what year Anna and I met I do know she was pregnant with child #4 so since he turned 2 in August I would assume 2008 at some point, I know when I first met her she wasn't very far along with him... far enough to show, but I don't think she knew what he was yet!

I love horses and horse back riding something about animals frees a part of me and relaxes my OCD and over stressed mind. Something my daughters father never really seems to understand! He thinks I am more of a hoarder . But here is the layout of my animal family. 1 Pit bull we have owned since 2004 she is a big baby and is by no means an evil child, people, or animal killer! her name is Daisy and yes she is on a chain.... the reason for this is she will scale any fence, ANY and if she can chew through it that will be her route of escape, since she is a large hyper active dog she can't live in the house.. she has lived in the house but strangely when I got pregnant she tried to claim my fetus as her own and decided that all of Kailey's stuff was now hers not mine or Kailey's, after Kailey was born she tried to claim her on more than one occasion!!! So, with all that said she is a good girl for the house but SO hyper the floor rumbles when she is running about wildly.

Then there is Big Boy...he is a really fat English bulldog he was a rescue that we got from a guy who decided that since the Knox county animal shelter had neutered him that he wasn't worth anything anymore and he could just starve and die! So we got him and finally got all the hair on his back to grow back except for in his collar area I don't think it is coming back we have had him since 2008 he was a year old then he is now 3-years-old and will never live in the house cause he lays massive piles of poo and we can't seem to house train him. He is not on a chain he is too fat to scale a fence and so he has a big ole back yard to himself!

Then there is Scrappy our chihuahua that we acquired after our neighbors 4 year old decided he would be better off drowned in the pool while no adults were around. He almost succeeded and he was 6-weeks-old at this time and we were going out of town when he was given to us so my mom got the first week with him... he loves my little girl and though I never thought I would own one he is now my little buddy... best chihuahua ever. He lives in the house.

We have one cat just plain and simple KITTY!!! that's it.

We have a mini-pony Party is his name he is my daughters pet.

We have a turtle... his name is Tuck we have had him since Kailey was a year and a half old... he is a red eared slider. Very smart he is and he loves to eat! They require more care than the Indians on the reservation let on and you shouldn't get one unless you want a large responsibility.

I have some Nanny goats that I keep at my friend Anna's house as we are doing our experimental cross of Lamancha and Angora goats... I love lamancha does Ill keep y'all up to date on that as it unfolds...

I had a nice Horse but she broke her leg, right now I have a three-year-old pasofino who I am selling due to property needing some upkeep and life just being to hectic to get it all done right now.

I own my own house that I have been working on since 2005. I hope to be done with it one day, but who knows! I like the idea of running my own business but nothing has worked out for me yet. I like the idea of running and living on my own farm but I don't own the whole thing so I can not do whatever I want or need to with it.

I have a great job, but I can't talk about all of that, it is a secret. The point in this whole blog is to share ideas, goals, and my life with others. You may or may not learn something I don't know yet. But we will see hopefully I Can keep up with this thing and maybe even get some followers! It would be nice. Thanks for reading this. I hope you enjoy what is to come.
