Do you really want to know me?

I’m not perfect, I’m just a normal person, and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not.  I am an author but not a famous one.  I’m a single mother who has always struggled to provide for my children, but they have grown to be happy and honorable young men.  I’m not a widow, but sometimes I wish I was... yes I’m divorced, my children’s father made the choice of not being part of their lives, but that was his lost.  You can do me wrong, but never hurt my children or you will have an enemy for life.   I don’t always have money, but what I do have is the love of my family.  I’m the third of four sisters and we love each other.  

I don’t have a flat stomach, and I don’t have a perfect body.  I eat all the food that I love in moderation, that’s why I have curves.  I’m a Latin woman with some extra junk in the trunk.  People say I’m pretty but sometimes I feel ugly.  I have scars because I have a past, I have carried a lot of pain and hate inside.  I have been down but I always get up.   My house is not always clean, because I hate to clean.  I don’t like to be labeled lonely because I’m single.  I am a shy person, I hardly ever mingle, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun.  I don’t hate all men, but I don’t trust any of them, that doesn’t mean I’m gay. (No offense to anyone)  I don’t judge if a person is gay or whom they choose to love, their color, their religion or their faith.   I have done many good deeds, and many bad things that I am not so proud of.   I wasn’t popular in school, in fact I thought people made fun of me for being different.  I color my hair and I wear glasses.  I rarely go to a salon to get my nails done, mostly because it is an extra expense that I can't always afford, but I enjoy being pampered.  Sometimes I like to dress up depending on my mood, but I love wearing jeans, boots or sneakers and a plain old t-shirt. 

I love the color purple, my lucky number is 3, and like most people I would love to win the lottery.  I like cats but I don’t have one.   I have a phobia but I won’t say it, only my immediate family know what it is.   I have two dogs, three sons and a granddaughter.  I'm random and sometimes even sound crazy.  I’m a prankster, I love to laugh and make people laugh.  

Some people love me, some really like me and if they hate me, I really don’t care.  I am who I am, this is the real me.
