A reintroduction of myself for those of you who may not know some of this

I think it may be time to introduce myself here for those who haven't followed me for as long. When I first joined I wasn't even a mom or wife yet and then several of us moved to another blogging site and then came back here and I feel like when we came back things were just kind of different. I go by Sissy on here because that was a nickname my grandma gave me as a kid and my grandma died when I was five but she had such an impact on that time of my life despite me being so young when she died and this is how I honor her even if no one actually calls me that anymore. I am 35 and married to my husband who I've been with for 13 years and married to for five years and we have an 11 year old son. I live in Ohio and have two cats. I have 7 older brothers and sisters and several nieces and nephews and even great nieces and nephews because my parents were older when they had me and there is a large age gap between me and my several of my older siblings. I love old movies, I love music, and have a very eclectic taste in music that I listen to a ton of different genres. I grew up on oldies (50 and 60s music mostly) and country music and branched off into other genres as I got older. I seem to love useless trivia especially movie trivia. I work at an elementary school with kids that have special needs but are still in a regular classroom setting. I have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I have anxiety and my son was born with a cleft lip so I am pretty passionate about those topics. I don't like people dismissing either condition as no big deal. I am a fairly mellow person but also don't take well to others being bullies. I always try to be respectful and don't believe in name calling I try the kill em with kindness approach. I get people are going to have differing views on a lot of things and that's ok but I've had people really get upset over what kind of cable I had when it literally had nothing to do with them. I mean there's a bit more to the story but no matter what way I looked at it I couldn't see anyone getting so upset over it or caring so much but to each their own. I have never understood why people get so upset over stuff that ultimately doesn't matter. Unless you are genuinely worried for someone because their life choices could genuinely get someone hurt I would say don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you. I get sometimes it's hard not to judge I know I've judged when I probably shouldn't but some of the stuff I've seen others get so snippy and rude about really doesn't concern them or anyone for that matter. I genuinely can't figure out why they get so worked up over it but again each their own. I'll stick to my own beliefs and they can continue to get worked up over the small stuff. I also am a big believer if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it. Just ignore it and move on. I learned that the hard way over the years. If you are being respectful in disagreeing and can kindly say your side without putting the other person down that's one thing but most of the time I feel that's not the case. Most people just want to call others out for not agreeing with them and are rude about it. I get you have your opinions and that's fine but that doesn't make me an idiot because I don't agree with you it means I have a different viewpoint. I hate politics for this reason and refuse to talk to people about them. I try to keep my political views to myself most of the time. I am a pretty open-minded person and can see both sides often times but that doesn't mean I'll always agree with someone I just get where they are coming from. We all have reasons for why we believe what we believe and unless you're downright racist I'll respect them. Anyway, that's basically me in a nutshell. If you've read my previous posts I tend to think about life and childhood a lot. I get lost in my words a lot and I write longer posts because I have a difficult time breaking down thoughts when I write and my mind kind of gets away with me. I also don't write for money but as an outlet.
