I decided to make an "about me" page. I've done so many of these over the course of nearly four years of blogging. That's a long time. Nearly as long as I've been a mother.
My name isn't really Indy, I don't feel comfortable sharing my real name at this time, due to all the drama I have had to endure online because I have shared that. And at the same time, I don't want to lie about the fact that this isn't my real name. I don't like lieing, even if this is the internet and you wouldn't know the difference anyway, would you?
I am 23 years old. I will be 24 on December 12, so yes that makes me a Sagittarius. Though, I have never been the typical Sagittarius child. I'm quiet, bookish, geeky. I don't party, I never have. Sure, I got pregnant young (18) but I only had sex with one person (currently my husband) and I never got drunk, never did drugs, never smoked a single cigarette. Sometimes I regret not 'letting loose' a little more in high school, but mostly I'm happy with how things have gone.
I married my husband when I was 18, just a couple months before our first son, James (Jamey) was born. This was also a month after my mother died. It was hard getting married without her, but, life goes on and you do what you have to do. I'll probably do an entry on my mom in the near future. My husband is in the Army. He has been in for three years now, four in March. We are currently stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and are hoping to get orders to go elsewhere in the near future. Hoping that those orders include him re-enlisting early and getting a fat bonus. We'll know for sure later this month.
Jamey is, as I said, our first born. He was born September 23rd, 1999. Currently, Jamey is in Pre-k at the school down the road. His best friend is Anthony, who lives down the road as well. He also has another friend, Caleb. Both Caleb's and Anthony's mommy's are my friends as well. Jamey loves school and is sad on the days he has to stay home.
Alexander (Xander) is our second born. He was born November 11th, 2002. My Veteran's day baby. He is now starting to talk (I was getting worried for awhile because he wasn't talking much, but kept reminding myself that he would talk when he was ready.) He says "hep me" (help me) when he needs help getting down, wants held, whatever lol. He also says "Up" "Mama" and some other words occasionally. Most of the time he just 'hums' his words. He's working on it though.
My boys get along wonderfully, for the most part, thankfully. I love watching them play together and hug and kiss.
I am Wiccan. I stumbled on my path about four years ago, but never really took it seriously. I read books on it when I felt like it, read online a little bit .. and have now truly started praticing/studying. So, eat your heart out all of you who said I was going through a phase!!
I love television. My husband says I watch too much of it, and granted, yes, sometimes I do! But there are days where I don't watch it all that much. I love my soap operas (CBS .. though I skip Young and the Restless for the most part, it's on at 11 here and I just never remember to watch it.. Bold and the Beautiful is just too weird for me lol.. I usually watch As the World Turns and Guiding Light.. average about 3 days a week.) I like to watch Charmed on TNT and my friend Tammy DVR's the new Charmed, Gilmore Girls, and Smallville for me. I'm a Reality TV Whore - I love Survivor, Wife Swap, etc. I also like CSI, Without a Trace, Desperate Housewives, Lost and Joan of Arcadia. Yeah, tv!
I love books! I try to find time to read at least one novel a week. I used to be able to read one a day, but between kids, housework, and everything else I don't get to do that. Plus my Wicca books. My favorite authors are Nora Roberts, JD Robb (yeah I know they are the same lol), Silver Ravenwolf, Scott Cunningham.
Some day I'd like to go back to school. I graduated high school (only one of my three sisters to do so. And I got pregnant my Senior Year, too! But I did it.) but only completed about 12 hours of college. I'd like to go back, get my degree.. but I am undecided on what I would do. I wouldn't mind going into social work, I think. Maybe someday I will be able to. I tried to go back this semester, but I was not granted enough financial aid (I signed up for one class and was given 507. My one class was 480, that left me no money for books or anything.) We'll see where we are next year.
