Happy, content, yet sometimes completely overwhelmed mother of 4 boys, who is still desperately searching for the handbook. These guys can lift me to the sky or break my heart, sometimes they accomplish both within the same moment. I've seen the craziness that life has to offer and somehow am still sane.

I take a light-hearted look at daily activities, some spectacular others mundane. Occasionally I have the overwhelming urge to point out stupidity on all levels which places me on my soapbox. A cynic with a heart. I have learned to embrace my short attention span, and have found a place to share my stories, thoughts and ideas, as warped as they may sometimes be. Welcome to MY WORLD.

I have often been considered an old soul. My passion is writing, my dream is to fill the void left by Mike Royko and Erma Bombeck.

Thanks for saving a place for me, to share life's experience so I don't completely terrify those that HAVE to tolerate me.
