The Brain.
From a love of fairy tales and the sound of my mother reading me Rebecca- to a lifelong love affair with words. I am here to tell my story, of my adventures.
Hi! The Brain! (To most of my facebook followers) My name is Gretchen. I am a mother to four boys! All completely different, all amazing. It has been a hard road to get to this point, ready to share my story or stories with the world. This space will be a place for me to place my life essays, my short stories; which up until now have spent their lives in spiral and marble notebooks; never to see the light of day, and my quirky quips; I post my daily madness on my facebook page, which has become part therapy, part awesome cafe to hang out with friends! Feel free to follow me there.
A few things you will see in these pages;
The Husband- my second husband, my life-mate, my soul mate, my hero and my best friend!
The Oldest- my first born child- from my first marriage- he is my champion, my serious, preteen, who started the madness of my crazy adventure in motherhood.
Smiles- The 9 year old! My brute, my challenge, our angel baby, who can light up a room with his smile and destroy it with one angry blast.
Inch- My active, bratty five year old son, who is a whirlwind, a tester, a bound-breaker, and the start of my second family. The complete surprise baby that changed my world, to tilting on its side to completely upside down.
The Boss- My 1 year old. My last child, my fourth son! The one who completed our family.
There are others I mention on my Facebook, countless nieces and nephews, sisters, brothers, my mother, my in-laws, our friends... it's a mad, mad world I live in, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
So grab a cup of coffee- pull up a comfy chair, and relax in my world! Thanks for stopping by!
