Writer's Workshop- Things about me and my Grandpa

The great MamaKat has some really good prompts this week for her Writer's Workshop. I couldnt just pick one so I did a little on 2 different prompts.

Three things that you would love to know about me

hmmm.....

I wear my heart on my sleeves. It is impossible for me to fake stuff. It’s just not me, my emotions shine through. I hate this. Sometimes I would like to be furious at someone yet smile. I just can’t.

I am not a stuck up B word. All of my life people have thought this but its so far from the truth. I’m not sure why people don’t understand that not everyone is outgoing. Once I know you I can be the life of the party but until there is a small bond I will just be cordial. Nothing more, nothing less. I don’t let very many people into my ‘emotional space’. I have been disappointed one too many times by people that I thought were the greatest to only find out they really sucked.

I often talk about being Infertile yet I don’t go for further testing. This may seem odd to some and even to me. I feel a little hypocritical at times. How can I whine when I don’t take the next step? I have had a baby, The Husband has had kids, and we just had a miscarriage in June. I know we can have kids but it just hasn’t worked out yet. We have 3 kids together so I should consider myself lucky. And I do. I kind of feel like if it’s meant to be it will be. We will continue to try but there won’t be any drastic testing done. We will be ok, either way. I would LOVE to have a baby. A baby with The Husband. I am hoping that in the future I don’t regret not seeking further assistance but right now I am at peace with it. We have been blessed but would love 1 more blessing also.

About my Grandpa:

As my loyal readers know he just passed away on June 5th. He was my last remaining grandparent so that made it hurt even more than normal. He was such an awesome family man. Through my life I watched him go from having TONS of money to it slowly dwindling down to help family members. He hated seeing anyone in need of help. To his dying day he was still doing this even though he didn’t have much money left. Through all of my memories the thing that stands out to me the most is his love for my grandmother. They had such a special love and I can only hope to have near the love with The Husband for the rest of my living days. They were truly an inspiration. I miss them both so much but I am happy that they are now together, where they belong.

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes or No?
