Who? What? Where? Huh?

call it kismet. i was just thinking about starting a blog (because, come on now, who DOESN'T want to know all about fabulous me?) when my girl, laurel sent me her link. thinking i kinda gotta.

so who the hell am i?
i'm rowdie. i'm a 28 year old half korean, half sicillian military brat turned military wife. thanks to uncle sam, i've been living my last five+ years here in the panhandle of florida. yeah, if you thought florida is soo awesome, you've never been here. sure, it's gorgeous (they don't call it the emerald coast for nothing!) but that's about it. basically, i'm living in alabama. seriously, people, i'm 25 miles away from a piggly wiggly, and 20 miles away from the annual boggy bayou mullet festival in niceville, fl. if i'm lying, i'm dying, to quote mr foxworthy. i'm from phoenix. we have annual festivals like country thunder (five day concert event where EVERYONE who's anyone goes). lord, help me.

seeing as i'm here in alabama, oops, i meant florida, you can guess entertainment is limited. i get my kicks at my job. what do i do? i run a home daycare (yes, i'm crazy, but if you're reading this, you know that already). here's the cast:

elmo- 20 months old, sweetest little girl in the world. funny, charming, and yet her red hair isn't just for show!

animal (as in muppet babies)- the only suicidal 22month old i have ever met. she's a total nut. this kid has no sense of self preservation and an extra dose of charisma

alvin- pretty much sums up this soon to be 4 year old. he's animal's big brother, and has two other sisters. poor guy is drowning in the estrogen ocean with only a good ol boy daddy as a lifeline.

then there's the diva. 4 years old, sassy as hell, and don't you already know she knows everything? wayy too smart and observant for her own good. i can't get through a day without offering to sell her to the circus. i mean, what is with this kid? must be genetics. DISCLAIMER: i may have given birth to the diva, but i blame her insanity on her daddy.

that's it for now, as coincidentally, the diva is now demanding my attention....

ttfn!



wait.....wait. dont' want my friends here to get butthurt, and even though they know, i'm letting you know that i LOVE my friends here, and without them, i could never survive it here. MWAH!
