..
I'd like to meet:
We pledge responsibility for children who put chocolate fingers everywhere, who like to be tickled, who stomp in puddles and ruin their new pants, who sneak popsicles before supper, who erase holes in math workbooks, who can never find their shoes.And we pledge responsibility for children who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire, who can't bound down the street in a new pair of sneakers, who never "counted potatoes," who are born in places we wouldn't be caught dead, who never go to the circus, who live in an x-rated world.We pledge responsibility for children who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions, who sleep with the dog and bury goldfish, who hug in a hurry and forget their lunch money, who cover themselves with Band-Aids and sing off key, who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink, who slurp the soup.And we pledge responsibility for those who have no safe blanket to drag behind them, who watch their parents die, who can't find any bread to steal, who can't find any rooms to clean up, whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser, whose monsters are real.We pledge responsibility for children who spend all their allowances before Tuesday, who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food, who like ghost stories, who shove dirty clothes under the bed, and never rinse out the tub, who get visits from the tooth fairy, who don't like to be kissed in front of the car pool, who squirm in church or temple and scream in the phone, whose tears we sometimes laugh at and whose smiles can make us cry.We pledge responsibility for those whose nightmares come in the daytime, who will eat anything, who have never seen a dentist, who aren't spoiled by anybody, who go to bed and cry themselves to sleep, who live and move, but have no being.We pledge responsibility for children who want to be carried and those who must, for those we never give up on and for those who don't get a second chance.For those we smother and for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind enough to offer it.

I love reading.. who doesn't like to curl up under the covers with a good book!..except when they are school books!
Heroes:
My mom.. without her I would not be the person I am today.. growing up she was unfair and harder on me.. and I always got the same answer "I expect more out of you." But, I guess mom knows best!My husband.. he gives me everything I could ever ask for.
