A Little More about Me

A couple of years ago, I thought that I might write a blog. I had it in mind to write about broad aspects of my life: being Catholic, homeschooling, having a large family. I didn't want to get too personal, this IS the Internet, after all! I set up my blog, but never actually posted to it.

But really, who is interested in generalities? Isn't it much more interesting to have personal glimpses into other people's lives?

That's what this blog is about. Little glimpses into my life.

So, in random order, here are a few things about me:

I am completely in love with my husband, and we have been married 26 years.
I am unapologetically Catholic. I was born Catholic, and after years of study and prayer, I choose to remain Catholic. There's just nothing else like it!
I love to read. So much so that it borders on obsession.
I play the cello. Not as well as I did in college, but I do play. And I love music, all kinds of music. I especially love good harmony. I do not like most rap. I don't consider talking to a beat music.
Bad grammar makes me twitch.
My children are my heart. They are noisy. They must constantly be reminded to pick up after themselves. Most of them have some form of ADD/ADHD. But they are seven of the kindest, funniest people I know, and I am blessed to be their mother.
Six of my seven children live at home.
My home has been called "the house of commotion."
I love animals, especially dogs. I will always have at least one dog, probably more.
I can't stand beer, but I love wine. However, Diet Dr. Pepper is my all-time favorite drink.
I love to travel!
I miss my grandmother. She had twelve children, and most days I think of about ten questions I'd love to ask her.
When I lived alone, I was very organized. Now, I seem to be organizationally challenged.

I am going to leave it at that for now. If I told you EVERYTHING about myself, you would have no reason to continue reading!
