Welcome to my life!!!

Hi everybody!
I'm undecided on whether I should tell you about me first, or tell you how I came to write this blog. I guess I'll start with me.
I'm 28 years old. I am a single mom. I have an 11 year old daughter who we'll call Princess One. She lives with me. I also have a 4 year old daughter, a.k.a Princess Two. She lives with her dad. I live in sunny (haha) Florida. I laugh because, for those of you who don't know... it's not always so sunny here. In fact, it's been raining off and on for 3 days now.
I am a 3 time divorcee, already. Not a fact I am proud of, but not one I will ever run and hide from either. In my defense, I did start young. I married at the age of 15. (Don't judge)
I met my first husband when I was 14. I got pregnant, we got married.

For those of you doing the math, you're right. It doesn't add up. Yes, my oldest daughter is 11. I had her when I was 17. At 15, I had my one and only son. He passed away at nineteen days old. I won't get into the gory details I just want you all to have a better idea of me and where I come from.

I then divorced and waited 6 years before I married again. My second husband, who we'll call Mr. X is the father of my youngest daughter. He was a good man, at least I thought so until recently. We just couldn't make it work. We were together all of 2 and a half years.

My third husband was a giant mistake. I married him and divorced him in less than a year. We'll just call him Three. Period. I'm sure I'll mention him again later, but for the moment his presence is insignificant.

I'm not sure how deep I should get with this introduction. I don't think you signed on to hear my life story. Or did you? Isn't that one thing people love so much about blogging?
I've always been an avid reader and people watcher, so blogging is actually the best of both worlds for me. I get to read all about the people I would normally sit on a park bench and watch, AND I get to know more than I could ever imagine.

The truth is that I am starting this blog with the intent of keeping it going as a chronicle of the going's on of my life. But, if you know me, you know that I have a hard time staying with one project. I have made several attempts at this blogging thing already, and they all failed. Never surviving past the first entry.
This blog, however, will be different. I can't promise I will post every day. But I promise to continue posting.

Well, now that you know a little bit about me, I can say goodnight.
It's 12:30 am and I have to get up early to take Princess One to a breakfast with Santa in the wee hours of the morning. You'd think Santa would know that we parents prefer to sleep in on a Saturday. Guess not.
I'll let you know how it goes.

See you soon!
