(no subject)
The name is Jessika or Ika, whichever.
I did have a really long lifestory kind of entry here, but even I thought it was pretentious; so here's a shortened version.
I was born in one state, raised in another.
I call four different states home and none of them are the state I'm currently residing in.
I finally moved back home.
My parents are still alive and well; I have two sisters (Patty and Jen.)
After praying, wondering, wishing all my life, I finally know my dad's son (Mark.)
I have two sons, Issak and Joe.
I have 6 Angels.
PCOS has left me infertile for the past 11years.
One day, we hope.
I'm currently raising my niece and nephew, Lillian and John.
I'm married to my best friend, LeRoy.
Our life can be extremely crazy with four kids.
There are times when my journal is filled with nothing but venting about the kids' issues (mainly John.) I also write about my husband and his PTSD. I write about my health, which can be TMI at times- feel free to scroll if it's too much for you. And then there is the every day things, good/bad/ugly.
I don't usually use LJcuts unless it's REALLY long.
I cuss, a lot.
We have 17 animals (cats/dogs) and once we're moved and settled in our own home, we'd like to add livestock as well.
I'm still figuring out who I am, as it's constantly changing.
I'm at a point in my life where I will not tolerate absent friendships.
I don't want numbers, I want friends.
I have a very unhealthy affection for my truck, that I am perfectly OK with.
I'm loyal to a fault and at times it does nothing more than hurt my own heart.
I'm highly opinionated about a lot of things, but won't push my views on you if you don't push yours on me.
I am however, always up for a good debate.
I'm a Libertarian.
I'm conservative and liberal.
I'm a Christian; I believe in an afterlife and God, but not the religion* or church.
*Too many hateful things for me to feel it is indeed, a religion of love.
I believe everyone has the right to live and love as they see fit for their own life.
Above all else, I believe in the Golden Rule.
I am NOT politically correct.
I don't think words can hurt you unless you choose to give them the power to.
I don't believe in being 'offended.'
I cannot stand hypocrites. My biggest pet-peeve.
I will not judge someone else based on another's point of view.
If I had done that, I wouldn't be friends with some very awesome people.
I will not apologize for being me. I love me.
That includes my thoughts (entries) and feelings.
I'm aware of issues I have, and I'm working on them- for me
I look forward to the days when we can be self-sustaining.
I want to give back to our beautiful Earth.
I want to open/own/operate a green based cemetary.
I love this life.
Not saying there aren't things I don't want to change, but it's beautiful in all it's messy glory.
