About Me


"WHEN PEOPLE SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE, BELIEVE THEM...THE FIRST TIME!" ~Maya Angelou
As for me, I'm a Proud Navy wife and stay-at-home-mom to FIVE *gasp* kiddos.
You Will Be a Cool Parent
You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant! Would You Be a Cool Parent?

You Are a Liberal Republican
When you tell people that you're Republican, they rarely believe you.
That's because you're socially liberal - likely pro-choice and pro-gay rights.
You're also not so afraid of big goverment, as long as it benefits people and not politicians.
You are the most likely of any Republican type to swing over to the Democrat side sometimes. What's Your Political Persuasion?

Suppose
"Suppose your task, my little man, Is very hard to get; Will it make it any easier For you to sit and fret? And wouldn't it be wiser, Than waiting like a dunce, To go to work in earnest And learn the thing at once? Suppose some boys have a horse, And some a coach and pair; Will it tire you less while walking To say, "It isn't fair?" And wouldn't it be nobler To keep your temper sweet And in your heart be thankful You can walk upon your feet? Suppose the world doesn't please you. Nor the way some people do; Do you think the whole creation Will be altered just for you? And isn't it, my boy or girl, The wisest, bravest plan, Whatever comes, or doesn't come, To do the best you can?"~ Phoebe Cary

The kids keep me VERY busy with school activities, choir, dance lessons, sports and friends. On top of that, I'm an Independent Consultant for the Pampered Chef since Nov. '06. I recently got a new MacBook and an iPod for Mother's Day (SWEET!) so I'm spending a lot of time downloading music and messing around with my pictures!RJ and Rhiannon's 9th and 10th Birthday party

Music:

My new iPod currently has a mixture of all kinds of music. My faves right now are sounds like Evanescence, The Fray, Howie Day, Mat Kearney, and Snow Patrol.

Movies:

I love love love movies. Unfortunately, I don't get to the theater ofen, so I'm a DVD renter (or if I'm feeling really lazy, I'll just buy it). I used to love horror movies but I don't know...maybe being a mom has changed that a bit for me???

Television:

Blues Clues and Dora the Explorer ROCKS!! Oh wait, you mean TV for mommy?? Hahahahahha, yeah right. I love TLC, Biography and Discovery Channels. Whenever the Duggar Family is on TV, you can find me watching!! I also try not to miss Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and Brother's and Sisters.I know it's much cooler and chic to say we don't watch TV in our house. Well....I'm neither cool nor chic.

Books:

Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, by Dr. Laura; The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers, by Dr. Jack Newman; The Struggle for Democracy (my old PoliSci textbook) and A Rulebook for Arguments (my old Critical Thinking book); The Bible; and anything by James Patterson!

Heroes:

Military members and their families! br

Birthday wishes

Does going grocery shopping with just the baby constitute "doing something for myself" today? Maybe getting Starbucks (with Roxie) counts? Rhiannon wants to make me a cake...but we need eggs! As soon...
