Taking A Chance

I am taking a chance today....

I went on my old high schools web site and looked up some former classmates. It was fun seeing the 80's hair!

Well for some reason, I decided to put my info on it. I even went to far as to include this blog site.

The reason I am taking a chance is because I only went to that school for one year; my senior year. I went from attending a very large city school in Fort Worth, Texas, to a very small rural school in Central Maine. It was definately a culture shock for me. I made a few friends, and a few more enemies, graduated, stayed for one more year, then moved. Having my grandparents and my mom being from that same town, did not make much of a difference, and I don't think I was ever accepted. Most of the people there have been there since birth and grew up together. I was just this thin, blond, southern outsider.

I went to my 10th year reunion and received a gift for having the most kids; I have even more children now! 7!

Onto other things:

It has been a good week. Today it is pouring rain, but warm. I love it. I am thankful it's not snow. My peeps up in NY are having snow, though. Alexx and Brian are there for a 2 week vacation. They surprised Brian's mom! How fun is that? I miss them, but know they are having a blast reconnecting to their friends and family!

Well, I am off to read something to the kids, and get cozy!

Blog on and thanks for visiting!
