- In kindergarten I had a best friend named Christine. We were a perfect match because she liked to pinch people and I liked to bite them. I didn't have many friends in kindergarten.
- I was five when my grandpa died. I don't remember much about him, but for years I thought I had killed him because I used to bug him to play tic-tac-toe all the time, and he didn't really want to.
- I wanted to take gymnastics so bad in first grade, I just started telling kids I took it. As we stood in line to leave the class and go home, I'd start cutting everyone in line saying, "I have to get to gymnastics."
- When we lived at the motel, I went to school with a girl who looked just like Holly Hobbie. I called her Holly the entire time I was at that school. She never answered.
- In second grade, Sister Mary Martha was sitting on a desk in the classroom and slid off onto the floor. I laughed hard and loud and had to go sit in the hall. For a long time.
I’m a fun-loving foster and adoptive mom juggling a teenager, a tween, and a toddler, all while navigating the wild world of homeschooling. I recently took the plunge and moved to a new state without ever setting foot there—talk about an adventure! This is my real-life story, filled with chaos and joy. My mission? To swap out traditional products and pharmaceuticals for healthier, natural options for my family. Oh, and I really miss writing, so I'm excited to weave that back into my life!

The absolute worst part about being a writer for me is grammar and punctuation. With every post I put up, every email I send and every story...

I went to #30 school for first grade. Every morning I walked by myself down Otis Street to the school. There were always a bunch of kids out...

Sounds like you need to write a memoir, Junie B :D
You were quite the kiddo. :) So different from what I used to be - I was a monster, but in a very different way. Your little self sounds awesome!
Sounds like you were a real character...
Funny! You were quite the character. You would have called me Holly too! I had a homemade Holly Hobbie dress I adored and wore to school.
Thanks for the laugh! You should definitely write a memoir. It sounds like it would be hilarious! :)
Love, love, love the first one!
Great tidbits! You were quite the character. ;)
I'm seconding the memoir suggestion.
A memoir would be fun, but it seems like I just have a bunch of random little tidbits. Would it have to flow with some sort of plot?
