About Me

April 3, 2014

Wow....where to start....I am a private person.  This is hard.  How I became moodymom44.

I don't know blogs. I only read a couple of blogs. I never thought about having a blog before about 10 minutes ago.

I don't even know if this will really become a blog.  We'll see....

My name is Michele.  I am 49 years old, soon creeping into my 50's (only 3 months away).  It feels weird, like it's not real.  I don't feel like a 50 year old.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, who turned 50 a few months ago.  He doesn't seem any different.  Maybe the 50's won't be so bad.

We have been married for 26 1/2 years.  We spend a lot of time laughing, we enjoy being together, I guess that's why we're still here.  We have 2 of the most wonderful boys, I can't say enough about them, they make me the happiest mom.  OK, I am a crier, just typing that made me cry.

They are currently 20 and 19.  They aren't really that close together.  The youngest just turned 19 and the oldest will be 21 in 4 months.  They are 20 months apart.  They are both away at college now and while that is incredibly hard, I miss them both so much, I love watching them step out and try new things. It's what my whole life has been since they were born.  Always watching to see them learn the next thing, hit that next milestone and being happy when they made it.  This is just the next wrung on the ladder to becoming adults. Wow, now the tears are really flowing. lol  

Maybe the title really is true.  I don't consider myself a moody person, moodymom is a play on my last name, it's Moody and shortly after I became a mom we got an internet connection so I became moodymom44, my email address.  44 was my husband's high school football number and I like the number 4.  And yes, I am that old, the internet was a 'new' thing.
