Let me introduce myself

I thought it's about time I actually introduced myself.  Okay...so here's the general stuff:

• My name is Teresa Weatherly....before I was married, I was one of 'the Flynn kids'
• I have two beautiful and amazing kids of my own
• I married my husband after knowing him for only 3 1/2 months....we just had our 7 year anniversary!
• My kids don't have a bedtime; most of the time it works out wonderfully, but sometimes it doesn't.
• I'm the youngest of 5....(thus...the flynn kids)
• My husband likes to make dinner, and I like to let him.
• I was a Sgt (sergeant) in the United States Marine Corps
• I didn't go to Iraq
• I enjoy watching cartoons and kid movies just as much as my kids do.
• I love to sew, crochet (but not knit), paint, do remodel kind of stuff around the house and most other crafts...besides knitting (it just bothers me for some reason!) :)
• I'm from Seattle, but have lived in many other places...Japan, North Carolina, California and St. Louis MO.
• I have an Associates Degree in 'nothing-in-particular', but have taken a lot of Architecture classes.
• I used to work out twice a day almost every day, and now I look in the mirror and cringe (TMI?)
• I played soccer for 12 years and would LOVE to play again.
• My favorite daydream (when not craft related) is usually about winning the lottery or wearing a size 6 (this must be a dream!!)  :) 
• In 2005 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (whatever that means) and neurocardiogenic syncope (I know what that means), 5 years later and I'm still a mess.
• My children are blonde with curly hair....I'm a thick headed haired brunette?!??!
• My kids are hilarious and make me laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY!  They really are the best! 
• I want to start my own business when I grow up
• I watch my sister's 10 month old son 5 days a week
• I've spent time addicted to Craigslist, I've been cured by being introduced to Crafting Blogs!!! :)
• I love to read (and collect) books, especially old and classics...or English History
• I want to make quilts and other blankets for children in the hospital (on a regular, on-going basis...I thought about starting a Non-profit or charity group...but I just don't know.)
• Last year I was in a horrible fire that changed my life.  I'm still trying to turn it into a positive...(see last bullet.)  :)
• I NEVER talk this much about myself, and this post will probably sit in my saved posts file for a couple of weeks before I get up the nerve to post it.

So that's me...in a nutshell...after so many posts it's nice to finally meet all of you.  :)
