I'm a divorced mother of two, Jhonen, 7 years, and Maisey, 2 years. My children are my driving force. If it wasn't for them, I'm not sure where I'd be right now. I probably wouldn't have went back to college and gotten the job I have now, that's for sure. I have the most awesome boyfriend, Waleed. I still don't know how I ended up with such a great guy, but every day I think about how lucky I am to be with him. I am totally in love with him. He's definitely a keeper. I bought my own home at the age of 23. It's 80+ years old and needs some serious renovations that I can't afford at the moment, but at least it's mine, and that makes me proud. I have two good jobs and make great money, but my career is one that I merely settled for, because I couldn't (and still can't) figure out exactly what I want to be when I grow up. I put in my 60+ hours a week, bring home my paychecks and pay my bills. I work at night, sleep during the day (sometimes), wake up, take care of kids and make dinner, take a shower, then do the whole thing all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I spend money that I can't really afford to spend, but I'm working on getting myself out of debt. I like dread falls and piercings and tattoos, ADIDAS shell toes and hip hop music about shaking asses, NASCAR and big trucks and catchy country songs. Politically, I don't know if I'm liberal or conservative, but I think I'm a little bit of both. Don't try to figure me out, because I can't even figure myself out. Just consider me a static personality. I brush my teeth in the shower. I like to drive fast and sing loud, but only when I'm alone. I'm actually really shy in person and I get nervous easily. I don't really like eating in front of other people. Sometimes I have a hard time eating eggs when I stop to think about what they really are. I'm really sensitive, and my feelings get hurt easily, even over things that I shouldn't take so seriously. And that's me, in a nutshell.
