Mrs. Odie is not my real name. I write anonymously for one reason: I am a public high school teacher. Okay, four reasons: my husband and my two daughters. They deserve to remain anonymous.
“Viva” is my four year-old, and “Pringles” is my youngest, born in June 2011. My husband Odie is also a teacher. He is gorgeous, tall, nerdy, and socially anxious. The whole package.
I come from a family of girls who produce girls. I have four sisters, two daughters, and three nieces. The only way you can get into this family as a man is to marry in. (Editor’s note: my stepsister gave birth to a healthy boy!)
I’m an Aries, a vegetarian (90% of the time, the other 10% I eat Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and hate myself), and the ambivalent owner of two cats and a dog.
Writing is my dream job. It is my passion. When I am not physically writing, I am writing in my head. Having a successful blog and all that it leads to is me living my dream. Welcome to my dream.
This blog is about my life and my commentary on life. It is honest, irreverent, and hopefully funny. Thank you for reading. You can follow me on Twitter: @mrsodie2
Oh MY! Just found you, and already lovin’ it! Will be reading more tonight as I feed my 25 week old on the left and cuddle my 4 1/2 year old on the right. Sick hubbie at a distance, since I dont’ want to catch his nasty cold.
Just found your blog and loving’ !!l
Really enjoying your blog. My two year old daughter sleeps with me in a pillow nest and also yells for me to “i hold you”! Was so funny to see that your LO says something similar. I am also a slave in the public school system.
You know I love your blog…. You may not be interested, but I did nominate you for an Inspiring Blogger award: http://lisasff.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/january-12-2013-really/
How could I not be interested in an award? In fact, I think I’ll write a blog about it. Thanks!
LOL! It’s like an electronic hug
Gotcha. And I’m a’gonna read’ja. And I’m a’gonna foller ya.
Not creepy or anything. We’re cool.
From Ask Mrs. Odie: “My favorite coffee house in Davis, CA! Before Starbucks…”
Are you UCD alumni? What was the name of the coffee house, Caffe Roma? I can’t remember. But it was great!
I am indeed! My favorite place was Delta of Venus, or as my sister called it, Don’t Bring Your Penis.
Oh my gawd!! I think you are wonderful. I had a TBF. She left me. I have now stopped grieving, but it took awhile. It did not help that I had invited her and her family over for many a holiday dinner, telling myself they were better company than blood relatives. I was wrong. I introduced her to several of my friends. Before I knew it, she was telling them everything that was wrong with me. Granted, I am human. I am not without my sins and quirks, but I generally act out of an open heart and do my best to treat people right. Thank you, for the light hearted approach to the end of a friendship. I still think of her sometimes. Her photo comes up on facebook, it keeps trying to make us friends again. Nope! Not gonna do that…
So glad you spent your winnings on a plane ticket flew home. Keep up with the healthy eating, Mr. Odie deserves someone to grow old with.
Thank you. I have to admit, I started back up again recently and I’m feeling great.
