Just Me

Well... here it goes.  My first attempt at blogging!  I have titled my blog as "It's Just Me..." because I'm nothing special.  I'm not saying that to get sympathy.  Of course I am special to my husband, my kids, and of course my parents but, other than that I can easily go unnoticed in a crowd.  Even the unique things about me can go unnoticed or unrecognized.  It's not good or bad, it is just the way it is.

I hope someone out there enjoys my blog, but even if they don't, I hope to get something out of doing it.  I REALLY love to talk so I think I will enjoy blogging.  I may not know how many, if any, people will read my blogs.  That's okay though because when I talk sometimes people aren't really listening anyway. I know this is true because to be honest, sometimes I don't listen when people are talking to me.  I don't do this on purpose...  I believe it has to do with my self diagnosed ADD.

There are things that make me unique from others.  However, I feel like these are relatively boring things.

1. I am biracial. (My mother is from Okinawa, Japan and my father is from Jackson, Tennessee)
2. I've lived in about six states and in Japan.
3. I have been married and divorced three times...to the SAME man.
4. I had my first child between my junior and senior years of high school (my parents kicked me out and I was on my own)
5. I've dealt with severe depression and anxiety
6. I've been "unofficially" diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia
7. I earned my college degree in elementary education when I was 40.

Well... if anyone reads this I hope they come back to learn about the things that make me "just me".
