Hello bloggers. My name is Myria Allen & here's what you should know about me before you continue to read my blogs. I'm a 23 year old wife & mother living in upstate NY. I am a stay at home mom & housewife. I also provide daycare for my friends 3 year old son 3 days a week. There are a few important points about me that I will outline now! HAHA.
First & foremost, the most important thing about me is that I am a wife & mother. These two things define who I am. My husband & I are one of those couples that fell immediatly in love & have been madly in love ever since. Herb (my husband) is the man of my dreams. He is caring, funny, friendly, hard working, & loveable. We balance each other very well & always anjoy each others company. Together we have a 1 year old daughter, Brianna. Brianna (aka Boogie) is a gorgeous, intelligent, fiesty little girl. She looks a lot like her daddy & acts almost exactly like me. It's kind of scary actually to hear the attitude that comes out of this pretty little girl. I love her though with all my heart. I spend every day with her, playing, learning, & growing. As she grows & learns, I grow & learn with her. Every day is a new experience & a new lesson. These two make my life worth living to the fullest.
I am a stay at home mother. It is a full time job. For those people who think stay at home mom's are lazy women who just don't want to work, I challenge you to spend and entire day with a 1 year old. I work harder than any paid person in the field. I am also a housewife. My job in our family is to take care of our daughter, take care of the house, clean, cook, & make sure my husband is happy. I am not ashamed of my position in life, I am PROUD of what I am. I have the most honorable job & title that any woman could have. CEO, president, etc mean nothing when put next to the title of WIFE & MOTHER!
In addition to my husband & daughter, my mother & sister are my next line of defense. My mother & I are best friends, & my sister & I are so much alike it's scary. My mom is a single mom that raised my sister, brother, & I by herself pretty much since my sister was born. My parents got divorced when I was 9 because my father is an alcoholic (well, recovering now, but that's a whole other story!), prior to the divorce though they were seperated numerous times & he also served 2 6 month sentences in county jail for DWI's. So, basically my mom did it alone. She did a pretty damn good job though! My sister is going into her final year at college & will be graduating with her Bachelors in Musical therapy from Mansfield University. She is engaged to a great guy that she's been with for 4 years. He has a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Embry Riddle. They are getting married in 2 years, I am her Maid of Honor (OF COURSE!). He's a great guy though, & I'm glad my sister is with him. My brother is 16 & starting his sophmore year of high school. He has Aspergers Syndrome (form of Autism), ADHD, depression, & social anxiety disorders. Despite many social, emotional, & mental setbacks in the past few years though, he is beginning to progress stabley in a good direction. He has his first summer job this year & is doing very well at it. He is also making new friends, which is great for him. We have had a rough relationship being 7 years apart & all, but we are progressivly beginning to get along better. My father is in & out of the picture. Being an alcoholic he has these spurts where he goes into hiding & we don't hear from him for a few months. About 3 years ago, he did one of these hiding stints that lasted 6 months... when we finally made him come out of hiding he has liver & pancreatic damage, pnuemonia, & was under 100lbs. He ended up in detox & ICU for 2 weeks, regular inpatient for another 2 weeks, & then was shipped off to a 28 day rehab program, which was then followed up by a 6 month half way program (through insistance of my sister & I). He is still struggling with his addiction. He has COPD & also has recently discovered that he has another disease (don't know the name) that causes blood clots in his legs. Basically the doctor has told him if he doesn't quit drinking & smoking he won't make it too long. So, we're in the progress of trying to get him to quit. It's a battle, but one I'm willing to fight if it means my dad will get to live to see my daughter get married.
In addition to my blood family, I have a furry family that I love. Our 2 daschund dogs, Napoleon & Boomer think they are ferocious guard dogs. We also have 3 cats, Cici, Shake, & Noodle who provide much comic relief & friendly cuddling.
I have an amazing structure of friends, whom mean the world to me. If I'm in a fight, it's usually because someone fucked with my friends, not with me.
I'm a Roman Catholic, born & raised. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus, & I honor Mary, Joseph, & the Saints. I however & not a crazy fanatical Catholic. I do have some issues with the church, but I will not hash those out in this Blog. I'll save that for a Blog of it's own!
& last, but not least... I can be a real bitch. I have opinions, which are usually rather educated & thoroughly thought through. I do not do into a discussion without knowing my shit first. When some ignorant arrogant son of a bitch thinks they can best me, I will not back down. I also am not the kind of person you want to break trust with or anger. I am open to the idea that all people are inherintly good. I will give everyone a chance, despite others opinions & appearance. However, once you cross me, there is no going back. I form my opinions of people from multiple factors, not just one, so if I don't like you & you want a reason, you better have some time to sit & listen, cause it won't be a quick answer.
Well, now that you have a basic idea of who I am & what I'm about you will hopefully understand me a little better! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!:)
*hugs*
Myria
