Well.......I am cocky, sweet, mean, compassionate, honest, devious, loving, caring, snob, extrovert, introvert, crazy, depressed,happy, sad, smart, dumb, wise.....that's about it in a nutshell......oh yeah and I'm a nut too!!!! I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus after almost 6 yrs in remission, I'm anemic, I have fibromyalgia, and asthma, and you know what????? I am a SURVIVOR, I will not allow myself to become a victim of my circumstances as so many do! I know I have to take care of myself, but I WILL NOT live in a bubble. My hubby and I just took a rode trip on a motorcycle from Louisiana to the northern corner of Virginia.......and I loved it! Here's the highlights of the trip;
..
I am tired a lot right now, and antisocial because of that but as I get better, I will continue living my life and enjoying the love of my life, Terry. I have so very much to be thankful for and realize that I can take nothing and no one for granted. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family and some awesome friends......friends that don't run when the going gets tough! I have also been blessed that each of my children have found the loves of their lives, and I love them as my own, and am very grateful for Chad, Danette, Jesse, and Lacie are part of my family and are there for me as well. I'm just happy that my children are loved and in love completely and fulfilled,that's all a mom could ask for, even if I didn't like them, all I want is for my kids to be loved! the fact that they have become such an integral part of my family and that we are all so close, just makes me that much more pleased and happy as a parent!
I'm a 47 year young, happily married to my best friend, Terry, a man I adore, who never ceases to amaze me by the way he takes care of me and shows me he loves me! I'm the crazy mother of 2 grown boys, TJ, who is a wonderful man and Daddy, and Colin who keeps me laughing and on my toes and 2 grown girls, Heather, who is so much like me, yet so much more confident and at ease, and Kayla, my baby, my artist, my one with the hidden passions, and potential, GG to their children, (Mia and Peyton,and Landon, and Tristan), and lots of other lil ones too. I am so proud of them all as they are truly warm, loving fun people. I am so lucky to have my daughter-in-law, Danette, in my life who has blended into our family perfectly, she's proved just how much she loves my son by sticking with him through the difficult times and therefore gaining my respect and admiration. My son-in- law, Chad, is as equally loved, and has my admiration just for hanging in with our crazy family and putting up with ME, but he too has gained my respect for the way he loves my daughter and makes her happy and fulfilled, and this year he's had to go through many trials which have made him strong too! I would be missing someone special if I didn't mention Jesse, who for over a year now has made my daughter Kayla, smile and laugh (and get Pissed off) in a way that makes her glow, thank you Jessimo! And last but not least, the dancer, future elementary school teacher, Lacie, who Colin has given his love to, she also has blended in perfectly with our crazy family and has my admiration for showing Colin the way to his heart. I am just as proud of my niece/friend Lorrae who has shown remarkable strength and courage in unbelievable trials and is an inspiration to us all! I am so grateful to my best friend Becky, who has been a source of love, fun, and friendship to me for over 30 years,and although she herself is a two time survivor of breast cancer, she has never wavered in her support of anything I do.
Family is EVERYTHING to me, and I'm blessed to have them all in my life. I am equally thankful to my lifelong friends who've loved me no matter what. And I'm so grateful for the new friends that I make as they bring a special joy and fun into my life as well.

I just cant seem to do or be enough for everyone
