My Life Is a Soap Opera is just what the title entails. One moment I'm enjoying my teen life and boom-someone close to me dies tragically. I get married and envision living happily ever after and boom-my husband hits me so hard I fall to the floor. Moving forward I live with a man who tells me all the time how much he loves me and boom-all that time he is married. There's a song by George Strait titled "All My Exes Live in Texas"-well, all my exes are from hell! I can vividly hear the voice of the opening of the soap opera Days, as a child I was in awe looking at that hourglass while listening to the announcer say, "Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." That hourglass is me with the addition of me always having a positive attitude. This book is a collection of memories that I choose to share.
