Do you really want to know? Instead of boring you with this information in a time-line I’ll give it to you Alanis Morissette style.
I’m a bitch.
If you ever want to know what I’m thinking – regardless of what I’m saying, just look at my face.
I’M NOT A POKER PLAYER!
And I can’t, won’t, and don’t care to try and hide it.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m not likable or that I don’t like people 😉
I’m a lover. There is such a thing as a soul mate. We have the same taste in music, clothes, furniture, parenting styles, money, cars, colors, sour cream…ok, not sour cream. And can you believe there’s a 16 year difference?!
I’m a math teacher, enough said, but it’s my mom’s fault – she’s one too. I’m also an only child (with 3 children of my own, 2 step children, and a daughter-in-law), and a Capricorn.I don’t have enough time or money for the amount of therapy I need for all those issues. Thank goodness I’ve rubbed off on my mom as much as she had rubbed off on me. Now I can just call the pro at the country club and put wine in her golf account!
I’m a mother.
It’s not that I don’t love my children, I just love when they are making me look good at someone else’s house – more. I expect a lot out of my kids…And I’m not into conventional parenting. (Much to my mother’s chagrins.)My children have started calling me by my first name because I refuse to answer to mom – especially at sporting events. I feel like I’m 10 again when they use my middle name. Besides – MomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMomMom won’t fit on a name tag when I go to “a meeting”.
I’m a sinner.
If you know me, you know I’m never without a big plastic tumbler glass. In the morning it’s coffee, after working out it’s water, at sporting events…Who am I kidding…there’s always a chance of it being vodka – regardless of the time of day. And for the record – a bottle of wine fits in a tumbler glass. (Good to know for back to back soccer games!)
.
I’m a saint.
No comment, I don’t want to get struck by lightning and you probably don’t want to know my opinion on religion.
And I do not feel ashamed!
I hope you tolerate me long enough to laugh with me (or at me – whatever works)!
And if you know me – you know I have ALL 21 of these problems.

Love your about. Still rewriting mine from a year ago. I will now go check out the rest of your blog but you got me. I will follow!
Thanks! It’s honest and in your face (kind of like me) but that’s what it’s all about…(that’s why Andrea is so good for me, she balances out my obnoxiousness).
Liked your unabashed about. I don’t think I have come across such a frank profile.
Thanks! My husband and mother probably wish I was less so, but I’m afraid there’s no changing me now 😉 She made me and he married me. (sillies – both of them)
Thanks for becoming a subscriber. Happy blogging.
I’m so excited! Be gentle with me…I’ll tutor you in math if you tutor me in photog 😉
Thanks for the follow. Things look quite interesting here 🙂
I’m glad I got to drop by here because of your ‘follow’. And besides math teachers have a respectful yet terrifying place in my heart. Memories of math homework and exams …*shudder*

That’s exactly why I became a math teacher! It’s not scary…well, it is – but it shouldn’t be 😉
Hi there, Michelle-
Great About – I’m am in awe of anyone that can ‘math,’ for I was one of those ignorant children who said, “I like drawing, I don’t need to learn math!” You are intelligent, frank and funny – that’s the Triple Crown! 🙂
I look forward to perusing your blog.
AnnMarie
There’s LOTS of math in drawing 😀 The Golden Ratio is one of my favs! http://www.goldennumber.net/art-composition-design/ Math…I mean art away!
LOL ….loved your About page. Will be back soon to check out more.
Thank you for the follow Michelle.
Thanks! Ditto 🙂
You About Page is unique very interesting. Thanks for the follow, I’ll be a frequent visitor!
Are you pretending to be nice? Unique – I’ll take it! 😉
I just found your blog on the Commons after joining the Blogging 101 challenge this month. I wanted to say hello, because I’m currently an assistant teacher who is trying to get her certification to teach Math, and have my second child on the way. But I love this about me page!
Yea! Another math teacher! Best of luck to you – in teaching and with your next child! Thanks for the visit – hope to see you again.
LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for the follow…my Libra to your Capricorn.
Hello. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for the follow. I love your blog!
Thanks for the nomination. I love your sense of humor!
Popped in here to thank you for the reblog of my “Pseudo Dear Abby” post today. Very much appreciated. I sure Love what I see ’round these parts! Count me in (that’s as close as I get to talking math!) with bells on!
Stephanie
Thanks! And I’ll take whatever math I can get from people!
I have to call my mom by her name, too. After saying “mom” a million times with no answer first, of course. It all started when I was about 11 and my whole family (aunts, uncles, cousins) went trick-or-treating. The adults were decked out even more than us kids, and they didn’t want to get caught and denied candy so they forced us to call them by their names. Now I just think my mom is in denial she IS a mom (and grandmom!), because she’s told me that she hears my calls, she just always thinks it’s some other random person calling to their random mother (which makes no sense because on 99% of the occurrences, there are no other mother/daughter teams around).
Selective hearing at it’s best! I love the “random” – I bet she has an exotic, very unique, one-of-a-kind name too 😉 I whistle to find my children – it’s LOUD and there is NO WAY they can’t hear it – yesterday we were at the water park and I saw them, whistled, and they kept running. Except their new little friends (and everyone in a 10 mile radius) turned and looked at me, grabbed my girls, and pointed at the crazy lazy shaking her finger at the only 2 people that didn’t respond to my whistle. Yep, busted!
Haha! My son only listens when he wants to. I can’t whistle so I’m kind of stuck screaming his name over and over.
My mom’s name is actually Susan. But her personality more than makes up for it=]
