Here in my beloved "South" we have a New Year's Day tradition. We eat black-eyed peas for good luck. Now I am not one that really believes in luck, I tend to believe that everything happens for a reason. But when things don't go the way I want or think they should have I blame it on bad luck. We kinda had a bumpy year last year. We had things thrown at us that we really weren't prepared for. So this year my hubby and I decided if that was the kind of luck those little legumes, that really taste like dirt anyway, brings us, we were going to pass this year. Hence, the name of this blog: I should have ate those black-eyed peas. I have already had to make that statement this year and we weren't even out of January!! I will be sharing some of those moments with you here on the blog. I will share my family the good, the bad and the ugly. We are not one of those families that get all dressed alike and pose for the camera. Although, I kind of envy those folk, but that just isn't us. We are more like the Heck Family you see on tv. I like to refer to my life, my decorating style and my family as "perfectly imperfect." This will not be one of those blogs that make you feel like a total failure because your house is not clean and perfectly styled or because your children are running around the house in their t-shirt and underwear they wore to bed the night before, and it is now one o'clock in the afternoon. Ahhhh, those truly were some of the best days. And let's just face it that is just life and it is okay. I will keep it real or not at all, 'cause that is just how I roll. I am not afraid to laugh at myself and I invite you to join in. So buckle-up and enjoy the ride.
P.S.
I will not refer to my husband as Mr. Pea on this blog either ;)
Thanks for reading,
Rhonda
