Grandma Lafaele

Last night I asked the question, "Who am I?" Well, I am first a mother, and to prove that:

Yesterday Emilee and Nate moved into their own apartment, and though I was really glad for them, because this is why we get married, to leave home, right? Anyway, I was glad for them. They moved to a nice apartment in Hurricane. After unloading everything, Emilee and I were on our way home, she pulled out a book called "Momisms." I got reading it and realized that all those sayings I've been saying all my life are not new to me or my mother.

Then this morning as I am chatting on line with David, my oldest son who is married with two children, I asked him what he was doing. Well, as I suspected, he was playing his xbox. The mother in me came out as I said, "First we work, then we play." No response from Dave, and I thought, I guess it doesn't matter how old your children are, they are still your children. So if my children are expecting me to quit using "Momisms," they are going to be sadly disappointed. Stay posted for more "Momisms."

While not being able to sleep last night, I decided that I would jump into this blogging thing and see where it takes me. I have had a lot of interesting experiences, as has everyone. When I tell my stories, people say, "Why don't you write a book?" Well, I decided that this would be my way of writing and reflecting on what has gone on in my life. It will be interesting to some of you, and others, not so much. I have had good and bad experiences, all of which have made me who I am today. Who am I? I am just an ordinary person trying to do the best I can with what God gave me. Sometimes, I fall short of my goals, and sometimes I achieve them. I am no different than anyone else, but hopefully to my family, this blog will jog their memories of some of the experiences we have had, and some that I have had that may explain why I have done what I have done in life.
