Famous. Slim. and Mighty.

Posted on

When I decided that it was time to start chronicling my daily dramas, I was having a hard time with a blog name.  This went on for months.  I’m an over-thinker to the core.  I needed a name that embodied all that I am, what I stand for, what I’m talking about… So when I brought my dilemma to the hubby it didn’t take him long to come up with Famous, Slim, and Mighty.  No, these are not heart-warming descriptions of me through my hubby’s eyes.  They are the loving nicknames he calls our three children. Very simple.  Just like my hubby. Now, these nicknames are not their only nicknames nor are they the names I call them, but they just fit together so well so… I went with it. 

FamousImageMy first born. My lover of all things imaginative.  My sensitive, kind-hearted, inquisitive, young scientist full of love and warmth.

SlimImageMy quintessential child of the middle.  My Hulk.  My crazy-coordinated, balls to the wall, “I-do-what-I-want” payback for all my adolescent antics.

MightyImageMy baby girl.  My unknown personality.  The first female born in thirty-something years on my hubby’s side of the family.  My high hopes for the future.

I truly believe writing is therapeutic.  I especially think writing is therapeutic for me.  I’m a person that lives inside of my brain.  An over-thinker, like I mentioned before.  And being that a majority of my time is spent with three foot tall dictators (that are freaking hilarious and say many noteworthy things) BUT can only carry on a conversation for so long about so many topics…  I need a “bigger” audience to commiserate with.  For sanity purposes.  Sometimes my topics will harp on the minutia of daily battles, or doting on the triumphs and the first times, or I might just babble on about how my husband comes home from work and takes his work clothes off and throws them NEXT to the dirty clothes hamper every day and today it might be the straw that breaks this camel’s back.  I don’t know.  My brain is all over the place, but I know the thoughts that live inside my brain need to come out.  And I’ve chosen to share them here.  So… as scary as it is for me to share such an intimate, personal, and precious part of my being with you (yikes!).  I welcome you and your thoughts to my therapy… my blog.

  3. You are a loving & wonderful daughter and mother. I am in love with my 3 grandchildren as their personalities are so different. I was able to see that this last visit. They are unique and unlike each other; although they love to play together and love their baby sister. I miss them terribly when I have to come home. Starting up my calls twice a week to stay in touch. I love all you guys to the moon and back.

  8. Having read this I thought it was really enlightening.

    I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this informative article together.

    I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting.
    But so what, it was still worth it!
