The Real JillUser (In case you didn't already know)

Published on January 9, 2006 By JillUser In Blogging

The time has come where I feel the need to be totally open about who I really am. It has never really been a true secret but I never used real names before and was cautious about what I blogged about.

The reason I started blogging with an assumed name is because I wanted to see how I did on my own merits. I didn't want any unearned fans or enemies due to who I am associated with. Also, it has been kind of fun being Jill.

Most of you here have seen pictures of me and my family whether you knew it or not. Some of you figured it out long ago but went along with honoring my anonymity. I thank you for that.

So, my real name is Debbie Wardell. Yep, I'm Brad's wife. I'm Alex and Ryan's mom. Now I can use names instead of saying "my husband" "my 9yr old" or "my 5yr old".

Brad and I will probably both be blogging about similar family subjects coming up. That is another reason I figured I would "come clean". I hope this doesn't change anyone's opinion of me (for the worse anyway ).

didn't know you were Brads wife, but always thought you were a bit secretive lol!

Now I can be less secretive. I still won't be talking about sex and some other subjects because there are just too many people here who don't want to know about that about either of us

And no, it doesn't change my opinion about you. I see you as a sensible, well thought out, friendly blogger...and I will continue seeing you in that light.

Ditto! Hey, you're still Jill to me. How's the little one in the oven doing today? Some women are so lucky not getting sick. I was sick everyday until the fifth month. My poor hubby couldn't even wear deodorant, first trimester was horrible. But I still enjoyed being pregnant,LOL!

(Brad is my boss in case anyone didn't know that...)

I think that person would have to be on another planet.....

I had no clue either! You must be a saint to put up with Brad!

Does he ever try to "put on his moderator hat" during home arguments? (I know I would if I thought it would get a laugh)

I have been feeling good, thanks. I haven't been getting sick but I am certainly more sensitive to smells right now. I can't stand the smell of ground beef for instance.

You must be a saint to put up with Brad!

You are not the first to say that.

Does he ever try to "put on his moderator hat" during home arguments?

He does. He is pretty good at winning battles but losing wars at home

We actually very rarely argue about anything. Probably because I am so easy to live with
