Ok, so we were all more or less challenged to tell you about ourselves by @celticeagle. Don't tell anyone but she twisted all of our arms. 
There is not much to really tell except that I am the mother of two sons and grandmother to eight munchkins. They range in age from 21 months to 23 years of age. I love them all very much.
I feel that I am pretty laid back and love to enjoy life. I have been known to ride motorcycles and horses. Even had my own bucking barrel. But now I have slowed down a little (ha ha) and am doing things a little different.
Over the years I have done daycare, taxes, bartended, worked on a cruise boat, did fiber optics, among other miscellaneous jobs. I was always the type that wanted to try out something new.
I love to laugh and joke around to try and make the world or at least some people happier.

@TiarasOceanView I probably should not butt in here and wait for dear Sandy's explanation. From what I know of horsing around, I am betting that a bucking barrel is something mechanical that a person rides. Its a way to practice for when you get to the real danger- the maniac horse or bull. Well, Sandy, am I right or off the mark?

Yes, I read her challenge and I will be posting mine soon as well. I have it swirling around in my head at the moment. I didn't know all that about you. 8 grandchildren - that must make the holiday's fun. You have had a lot of different jobs.

Yes, the holidays are a lot of fun. I don't spend a lot of money for gifts because there are so many of them. They do get home made gifts though and they are all happy with that.
Yes, I have had many different jobs. I liked to try new things and expand my knowledge. I even used to buck bales and when I got to far along with my oldest son I drove the hay truck
I will be watching for your post.

Quite a diverse arrangement of jobs. Working on a Cruise ship sounds interesting. Not sure I would want to do it now, but when I was younger.

@ridingbet I do believe that you told me that once. My memory is getting lousy. I have so much on my mind that I am not even sure what my name is. That is a good profession to be in.
