The Players

Me:  I am Amy.  A stay at home mom to two kids, Kamryn and Rory.  They are pretty much the coolest kids ever.  I love not working, but have noticed that my brain seems to work a little slower than it used to.  I’m constantly looking for some stimulation – flashing lights or pretty colors possibly even a craft or two.

Ryan:  The husband and father.  He usually sits silently by and lets me do my thing.  He knew what he was getting into when he proposed.

Kamryn:  The first born, the little girl that won my heart the minute I saw her.  She’s an absolute sweet-heart and was called a dream child by her teacher.  However, she is a strong willed little girl who, like me, is rather opinionated and not afraid to venture out on her own.

Rory:  The second child and a big ball of little boy.  He is absolutely crazy and I love every tiny inch of him.  He is the polar opposite of his big sister and couldn’t be more perfect.

I try to incorporate humor in my everyday life because you can find humor in everything…yes, everything, it’s all in the timing.  I have been known to get myself into some interesting situations and I can almost always come out laughing in the end.  If you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no business laughing at anyone else.

I’m not good at censoring myself so I tend to write like I speak.  If you are curious what that is like, just know that my daughter referred to our cat, Shmoopy (RIP 1996-2009) as “That Fucking Cat” for pretty much her entire 2nd year of life.

I tend to think I am right a lot.  And truth be told, I am right a lot.  The saying “I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.” isn’t just a funny quip, but is kind of my mantra.  It’s easy to be right when you only spout off about things you know about.  Therefore, I tend to stay away from topics involving politics, religion and global warming.

In regards to the title of my blog, it’s not anything profound.  I stole the idea from Ellen Degeneres.  She named her record label eleveneleven because it was always 11:11 when she looked at the clock.  When I look at the clock, it’s always 10:02.

Thanks for stopping by!
