But I am feeling better, and going to watch PBR tonite in B'ham, with my best friend Betty!!! Cain't wait!!!

I YAM WHO I YAM

      I didn't get to post yesterday because I worked late and was just too tired to concentrate . Also  I had to gather my thoughts. I am getting alot of flack and or grief from my friends, and soon I will be from my family I'm sure about the choice of description for the blog...ie- "WHITE TRASH"
    So , I now feel t is necessary to explain why I chose those words--I AM, HAVE BEEN, AND ALWAYS WILL BE   WHITE TRASH- there I said it,    so be it,     It is time to OWN who I am-

    This does not in anyway ,shape or form mean that, I use drugs, steal, or date my cousins.

    What "white trash " means to me is this:  I come from good, hard working, God fearing, honest people who just could not rise up to the general standards that society has laid out for us. It doesn't mean that we are bad, or stupid, or lazy for that matter. It just means that we work really hard---just to survive......For some people living just comes so easy- for us not so much.
     I am the baby of five, and my Dad worked three jobs, and my Mom worked two, just to make ends meet. My parents didn't believe in taking government hand outs, so they worked hard to support us kids.
My Mom always planted a garden, and canned so that helped alot. We are just simple country folks who had a hard time.

And then it got worse-Our house burned.

   My Mom spotted a house that looked similar to the Walton's (TV) and my Dad bought it for $600, and cut it into four pieces, and moved it up to the mountain- where my Mom spent the next 17 years remodeling it.
It was, and still is a mess and a money pit. My Mom's dream home not mine, but this is where I live until I can start my own dream.
So , I would like to share some of the stories, and recipes from my childhood, because I think it was great- even though we didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out!!!

Swaying Pines

Well , a neighbor came over to inform me that my pony was out so after getting her up, I was sitting in my car waiting, and looked up-I have alot of pine trees on my land and they are very close together so they have grown up really tall and straight, well the wind was blowing pretty hard and guess what? The pine trees were swaying-how is it that I am 44 years old and never realized that pine trees sway in the breeze? I was so shocked and amazed!! It was majestic. They looked as if they were dancing in a ballet.

Blogging For Dummies

That's what I need, this is complicated stuff. Bear with me please while I figure it all out!!  I will be adding some of my families favorite recipe's soon!!! And some of the stories from my childhood, a look at the critters on my farm, and lots more-so yall come back now ya hear?

The Morning After

Well, I feel like a balloon that all the air has been let out-deflated-I don't know if it's the sugar crash from too much B'Day cake-I finished off the icing for breakfast (it's my cake, I'll scrape off all the icing and eat it if I wanna) or if it's the realization that with another Birthday-  that I'm a year older,  or maybe I'm starting some kind of mid-life crisis. I feel like I'm 18 again, and I don't know what I want to do with my life. I have worked so hard for the past 5 years to make a go of my company, and when I am finally seeing it become what I always wanted-now I don't want it. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? I used to love helping people-and I have helped alot of people, but now instead of wanting to help them , I just want to be left alone. Waaaa  Waaaa Waaaa stop whining like a baby.
