First blog post

Well. Here we go. My first blog post, which I am sure so cliche. But, nevertheless, here goes! My blog. My place to rant about my life-the good, the amazing, the insane, the change, the scary, the totally weird, and the crazy! I am a single momma of 3 kids-ages 19, 16, 13…..see the need for a blog yet? The 19 year old just left for college last week.  The 16 year old thinks she is an adult and why in the hell does she need to check in when I have a location app that tells me where she is, and well, the 13 year old, it’s usually just me and her. Me and her. She and I. 2 made of the same cloth. 2 people that like to control everything and get complete anxiety when we don’t. So, see the need for a a blog yet? Life….it’s fun it always changing. Is that good or bad? I haven’t yet figured that out. And my kids who we will call Leroy “Roy” (19), “Rory” (16), and “Ruthie” (13), they get to deal with me while I figure out this nest thing. People refer to it as empty nest when kids start to leave. Well, they start to leave, they start to get independent….it doesn’t get empty.  It’s gets even more full! More full in my crazy ass brain trying to deal with it all! So that’s my blog….my life with my kids, my life with my world. The changes that happen.  Oh yeah, and there is this grief I am still coping with-my mom passed suddenly 4 years ago. She was an integral part of my life and my kids’ lives.  She was my best friend.  So there is that. I am finding news ways every day to connect with her or maybe kind of find her wisdom in my every day life. And yeah, I said I was a single mom.  But I have a boyfriend of 10 years. Nope, we don’t live together. Nope, we aren’t married. But, yep, we have talked about it. It’s life. It’s cuckoo. It’s full. It’s fun. And, at times, it’s a disaster! So….meet me here every once in a while, would ya? Let’s chat about life. Or at least read about mine bc you never know, it may just seem a little bit like yours :).  (And the boyfriend is laying next to me and just growled. I’m pretty sure it’s bc the light of my phone is annoying him 😜)  Love hard bc this all ends. -Memphis Lucy June
