My first blog. Kind of like taking my first step.

     My name is Elayne Tucker and I’m the mother of six.  I am proud to say that to date none of them have threatened to bomb the school, place thumbtacks in the teachers seat, set off the fire alarm or is a bully.  That being said, I’m not saying they wouldn’t.  They are good at subterfuge, scheming and manipulation.  I’m good at seeing through their bull.  They have often accused me of being a stealth ninja and having eyes in the back of my head.  But, then don’t most mothers?  I have heard conversations not intended for my ears and seen actions and behaviors not intended for my eyes.  I absolutely love the deer in the headlights look.  It is almost better than sex…….maybe better, it’s been way too long to compare.  There is a wives tale floating around for as long as I can remember that states if it has been more than 7 years since having sex, the woman is a virgin again.  I would officially have my virgin card back if this were true.  Wouldn’t that be a hoot to try to explain to a potential lover?  Can  you just hear it?  Yeah, I have six children but, so what, I’m a virgin.  I suppose that would be a rather awkward conversation.  I’ll be telling you about my attempts at online dating next.  I’ve gone on three dates with three different men.  It went from bad to horrible to oh my God run and run now.  I did.
