Ahhh, so this is how this works!  Today.  A new day.  Monday, September 17, 2012.  What am I doing?  I am going to attempt a blog. 

What shall I write about?  What should I say?  When I can normally speak to a crowded room of people, why can't I find something to talk about on here? 

I guess I will start with who I am.  My name is Cheri.  I have been called Scary, Shelly, Sharon, Cherry...  but my name is Cheri.  I have 3 sisters,  no brothers and a mom and a dad who are all still living.  My family one day turned huge.  We are Catholic and as it goes, Catholics love to pro-create.  So my family, has grown to one of epic proportions.  There are the 6 of us and we "acquired" 16 more.   My dad calls my sisters and I "the Bitches".  I am sure from an outsider looking in, that seems so awful... but it isn't.  It is in fact true.  We are really close.  We do most everything together...(well, we did until my little move to Texas).  We have the same circle of friends, some we have known for our entire life and other have entered in our adult lives, but they are all our true friends and we share and a few have been adopted into the "Bitches Sisterhood". 

I am married.  The way I do things is a little different then most people.  I go backwards.  So, I got married, stayed married, bought a dog, got a cat and then had children.  My husband, who is usually very non-confrontational decided in his mid-life crisis, that he needed to go to school.  Yep. Except he does it BIG and backwards also.  He went to college when he was supposed to.  After high school.  He worked and went to college.  Then he decided to join the Army.  Then he decided to get out.  Then he decided to go back.  All was well until one day he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming a Physicians Assistant.  Not is a regular school, not with regular students, but through the Army.  Which brings us to our current place, Texas. 

Everything is bigger in Texas, except our apartment.  You could say we downsized.  The place we currently reside is quite possibly the size of a hamster ball.  We live here.  The 4 of us.  6 of us if you want to include the dog and the cat.  Did I mention the dog is a Jack Russell Terrier?  So, we live here.  The boys started school this year, Matt is in school this year and I am going to school this year.  My school will only take the better half of a month.  I am going to get my certification in Laser Skin Care.  I figure since I will turning 40 in a year and 6 days that I should get some kind of education to save my skin and my soul. 

I hope to write a  fascinating book some day.  It is my hopes that this blog can help me get what I want to write on paper.    It is also my hope that some one is inspired by my thoughts the way I have been inspired by a few chosen people.  I won't blog about negative things, as I believe the more negativity you put in your life and dwell on it, the less positive one's outlook turns.  I think this is going to be fun.
