 |   You never know what you'll find - humor, ramblings, rants, randomness- it's all me! |
This description part is challenging. I never know what I will blog about until I start typing. I do know there will be typos. I don't reread or correct my blog. Otherwise it turns technical instead of my feelings and thoughts. Trust me, on stories and poems I'm a grammaraholic, but this is freedom. Sometimes to keep it from getting too personal, I even turn my head away while I type. Weird, right?. I hope you find this somewhat entertaining, thought-provoking, and humorous.   A little about me. The most important things in my life are family, especially my son, Reese, and my husband, Bruce, my walk with God, and making a positive impact in some way. I am a teacher, currently teaching 6th grade Language Arts. While at times my job can be trying, overall, it is one of the most rewarding passions in my life.   This is my wonderful son, Reese. He is now 20 and and a junior at Oklahoma State University. I may be partial, but he is an exceptional kid with the best heart I've ever known. He makes me laugh, think, and want to be a better person. We are both huge Oklahoma State Cowboy fans - Gooooooo Pokes!  This is Reese's dog, Betty. She shares a name with my mother. Reese named her that because she was beautiful and kind just like his Nanny (my mom). I'm not sure my mom is quite convinced it is a compliment though. Betty is a huge part of our family. She even had her own blog for awhile. Poke around at your leisure and shake your head at some of things that go through mine. I always return reviews/comments, though admittedly, sometimes it does take me awhile depending on what life is serving me at that point. Keeping the faith, Audra  |
| My 20 year old son, Reese, asked me the other day what I had been doing. I ran off the list of things I'd done that day and finished with 'oh, yeah, and I added to my blog'. Apparently, he had no idea I had a blog or even thought of a blog even though I've had it off and on for about 9 years, I think. Heck, I even made a blog about his dog - Betty's Blog - while he was in Minnesota because he missed her so much. (Sadly, that blog got more attention than my blog, but hey, she's a pretty good dog. He asks me what my blog is about and I was like whatever I'm thinking about. He proceeded to tell me that blogs had to have a central idea - like the Pioneer Woman. He suggested I write about school/teaching. Blah! Tons of those I told him; plus, teachers don't have time to read them except in the summer and then they don't want to. He said, "How about living in the country?" I responded, "Pioneer Woman." He still wasn't grasping that I didn't care if it didn't have a central theme. While, I like to pretend this gets read, I'm not delusional enough to think I'm going to get enough followers to grab the attention of Steve Harvey. He is persistent though. 'You know, Mom, like a theme.' "Politics?" I say. "Don't be ridiculous. It has to be something you know about." He wasn't being sarcastic, but I was. He mentioned it again tonight. . . kind of like I was a lost cause. "So, how's the blog, that is basically just a journal of your day that you let people read?" As I sit here typing, I realize what I could write a blog about that would disturb him more than me not having a 'set theme'. In the morning, I will tell him I've decided to write my blog about 'Reese Stories' all the memorable, embarrassing things he's done. Maybe then, he'll realize the freedom of writing off the cuff, and that his mom doesn't tend to do things by the rules unless there is a risk of imprisonment. No law against it, Audra |
