Me, just ME, no one else for now.....

Good day everyone!  Glad you could join me :) All I could think about last night is what in the world could I write about in my blog and then it hit me smack in the face. BAM! Yep, lame, I know but that's what really happened.  I am going to write about the many faces of people in general, but i'll start with me. Many of you know me but really don't know much about my history so i'm gonna start out with that.  I'm sure by the time you finish reading you'll either be bored to tears or rolling laughing.  Heck, you may even think, "DANG, that's whats wrong with her!"

WARNING: I tend to go off on tangents, so hang in there.  It's something like attention deficit disorder, although i'm not A.D.D.  or i'm pretty sure i'm not.

I was born on July 21, 1975 in Sheffield, Alabama.  Born to Carl Edward and Deborah Hamm Lambert.  My parents' divorced when I was very young and my father, Carl died as the result of a car accident at the young age of 29.  Sad face :(  I don't remember him but my mother and other family has shared pictures and stories to get me by.  I do think about him often, just wondering what it would be like had he not been killed.  Would my life have turned out any differently?  Probably not, other than maybe an occasional visit, card on birthdays or even checks in the mail. Haha.  My mother remarried to the love of her life, her soulmate, James Edward Kirby.  "Jim" had 2 sons, Jeremy and Jason, from a previous marriage.  He had custody of the boys so therefore we became a small "Brady Bunch".  Jeremy was only 3 months younger than me so we were always in constant battle for who could do what better.  Just for the record, I always won.  He pretty much sucked.  I could always run faster, swim better, etc......I hope he's reading this now :)  The funny thing is, I can still do all those things better, bahahahaha.  He knows this.  We, our family, have lived all over.  I attended 1st grade in Rifle, Colorado.  I've lived in Louisiana, pretty darn close to New Orleans, in Des Allemands and in Harvey.  (I have a super cute story about going to school in Harvey and my bff Shelby, but i'll share that another time)  We attended the 1984 World's Fair in NOLA, we frequented MANY Mardi Gras parades.  We even had a swamp, really it was some kind of lagoon, in our backyard past the fence.  I recall seeing gators sunning on a small marshy island in the summers.  I also recall our parents' saying to never play back there.  Hmmmm....we listened so well.  I'm sure Jeremy challenged me on something that made me disobey, like feeding baby alligators slices of cheese. Whatever.....we had a blue rabbit named whacky that lived in a doghouse in the backyard in Des Allemands.  We had to give him to the coonass neighbors next door when we moved, they probably skint him and had him for celebration supper the night we pulled out in the moving van :(  Hopes NOT! 

A few years later, we somehow landed in Vicksburg, MS.  I was in the 5th grade and attended Jett Elementary.  The next year we moved 2 miles down the road to Warrenton Lakes and ended up going to Warrenton Elementary in the 6th grade.  I am actually still friends with a few of the friends I made from 5th and 6th grade.  Thank you facebook.  I attended 7th & 8th grade at Warren Central Jr. High.  The city consolidated the schools when I was going into 9th grade so I attended Vicksburg High School for the rest of my crazy, unpredictable days of high school.  I remember during exam week, leaving a ceramics class with 2 crazy friends, signing into the library (bc we were gonna study), sneaking to our car, driving to Daquiri world, drove through the drive-thru, got a drink, slurped it down and returned to the library.  How we got past the insane security guard at the school is beyond me.  YES, I know what you are thinking....underage drinking and driving and returning to school.  I know, I know....these are things I can only hope my children know better.....AND NEVER EVEN THINK OF DOING. I graduated from Vicksburg High School on June 10, 1993. 

I wanted to be a Veterinarian but I didn't want to move to far away from my mommy so I attended Hinds Community College in Raymond.  I lived in the dorm with my awesome friends Cathy Raines, Lacey Langley, Jan Branning, Heather Evans, Ashley Watkins and Michelle Tacko. OMG!! Talk about some memories.  I wouldn't change one thing, well maybe a couple of things.  We went to class, most of the time anyway.  We had a routine, as most college kids do.  Monday=Class and SLEEP, Tuesday=Class and SLEEP, Wednesday=Maybe class, shower, CATWALK, SLEEP till Thursday night, Thursday=skip class, wakeup to get ready, LOUISIANA ALL NIGHT, Friday=drag our butts to class, SLEEP till we had to go home.  Yes, we had to go home because we pretty much all had parent's who wanted us home on the weekends.  Plus we had to wash clothes, get gas and food money, etc.....

I DID NOT BECOME A VETERINARIAN BTW. Sad face again :(

I started dating Wayne Hearn when I was a senior in high school and on into college till we got married.  He went to USM in Hattiesburg so we only saw each other on the weekends.  He always complained because I never went to Hattiesburg to see him.  I guess I was selfish and too into myself and my fun.  I figured if he wanted to see me he'd come to Raymond.  HOW RUDE OF ME :)

Wayne and I got married on February 18, 1995.  He graduated from USM and I finished up at HINDS. NOT.....I worked full time at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, part-time at McRae's (currently Belk) and went to school part-time 2 nights a week.  I eventually finished my schooling 75 years and 2 kids later.  Hahahahahaha.  Funny, yes, but true.  I went into the medical field, surgical technology and nursing was my background.  I eventually wanted more time at home so I went to real estate school.  I became a REALTOR.  Yes I did :)  As fun as that sounds, it wasn't for me.  However, it did allow me to make good money and pretty much make my own schedule.  This allowed me to go on field trips, kids parties, kids programs...you know all those things working moms can't do and wish they could.  Once Reabug got old enough to go to preschool is when I started working full time in the medical field again.  I wouldn't change a thing.  I LOVE MY JOB AND ALL MY CO-WORKERS.

Ok.....long and boring.  I am done.  For now.  Kisses and Hugs.
