Welcome...

Welcome readers to my first blog...the title is interesting huh?  I grew up in a trailer and lived in a few trailer parks in my day.  This blog is not to stereotype people...this blog and my opinions of Trailer Park life are based on MY experiences, actual events, so whatever I post...I ask that it is not taken offensive by anyone and the stories i may tell are simply MY stories of my Trailer Park life.  First of all...in my opinion and life experience atleast, once your trailer park...your always trailer park.  My trailer dwelling days were filled with laughter and freedom to run free and enjoy my childhood.  I grew up and experienced life and went on to have 4 children...someone said to me once that it seemed like i was having babies left and right and I said "I'm trailer park b****, that's what i do"...again please take no offense to what i say...it's just that the trailer park i lived in had people with babies all over the place.  God said to make our seed many didn't he?LOL.  

As you can tell this is going to be a place where it is okay to let your hair down.  We will discuss current events and issues in America, whats safe and unsafe for our babies, what is safe for us...and how our days are going...as well as some good ole fashion trailer park stories.  Here and there i will post stories from my trailer park days and stories from those that are close to me.  You may laugh, cry, roll your eyes...whatever...there will be a point to all of the stories i share.

I was told by several people one time that the stereotype for people that live in a trailer park are that they are welfare bumming, drunks, wife beaters, no good white trash....REALLY!!  First and foremost people from the trailer park that i am from worked their butts off for a little bit of nothing, and yes they would come home and have a beer....but that is no different than someone from a corporate office going for drinks after work with co-workers.  Truth be told, I am going to have a few stories that involve drunk people in the trailer park but hey...most stereotypes start with a little seed of truth i suppose.  Also, you don't have to live in a trailer park to be a wife beater...you can find them everywhere.  I have been called white trash before...because i have 4 kids and get medical assistance for them...I work 5 days, 40 hours a week so my taxes pay for whatever welfare i receive..yet I was still being called white trash? White trash...I don't know what to say about this...everyone's opinion on what considers a person white trash differs...you tell me world...what is your definition of white trash? My reason for this topic is to let you all know that it does not matter what color you are or where you live...EVERYONE deals with some sort of discrimination.  I have several stories that i will share with you all later on.
