You can take me or leave me

Hi, I'm Cindy Zern.  It has been bugging me for sometime to create a blog, should I or shouldn't I? If I did, what in the world would I write about? I don't have some cause to write about, some goal I need to accomplish, family living far away that I want to give updates on my life to, problems to vent about (at least not today), or self help blogs of encouragement. I decided I am going to write about me and my life. The day to day life of a 35 year old stay at home mom. I think it will be fun to read back on these blogs and remember things I will have otherwise forgotten about. To see myself and the people I write about change and grow. Someday my children may find they never really knew all about their Mom until they read these, and they may grow to appreciate the time I took to write. I have three boys, so maybe they won't appreciate, but their wives and kids might! I am not much of a writer, although past writings I have done certainly crack me up. So here goes nothing....my very on blog...all about me....Cindy Zern.

As I stated above, I am currently a stay at home mom, a position/career I have held for almost 12 years. Like any job (and I did work for 10 years as a commercial insurance underwriter in the "real world") it has its ups and downs and I stopped counting the positives and negative long ago. They never seemed to balance out. I am married with 3 boys, a dog, cat, and fish. I am the queen of the house, since I am the only female. I couldn't even get a girl dog, but someday...just wait! We live in the typical rural suburbs in a nice house with nice neighbors. I guess we are the "American" family. My husband brings home the bacon and I fry it up in a pan. As for me, I love the Lord, my family, friends and country.  I am not your typical homemaker and I have many interests outside of the house. I am smart, opinionated, rational, logical, aggressive, organized, athletic, quick minded, conservative, honest, and sarcastic. I am sure many blogs I will post will irritate and offend some people. One view I take is that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I really try not to call any one names, except my husband, when we argue, and he interrupts me :-). I love arguing, but the productive logical kind.

So I guess that is enough for my opening blog. As the title states, you can take me or leave me. I can't promise much about my life other then it is quite entertaining, never a dull moment. I look forward to keeping this up. And who knows, it might make me rich and famous one day. One thing is for sure, because of my honesty trait, I will never be able to run for office.

Peace
