About Me


I pretty much have everything I could ever want in life....the man of my dreams, four incredible kids, a big old house with lots of rooms for everybody to run around in that I'm slowly but surely turning in to my dream house, and I'm also getting closer to being done with my Bachelor's in Accounting.Now, I'm no different than anyone else. I have the normal stresses in life that we all face. Some may say I've had to face a few extra and I'm bound and determined not to let them get in my way. I have a condition known as Intracranial Hypertension. Basically, the spinal fluid in my brain and spinal column builds up beyond normal levels and causes my head to feel like it's going to literally explode. Right now, the only treatment for me is medication and the occasional spinal tap whenever the headaches become unbearable. Sometimes I can go a couple of months without one, sometimes only a few weeks. My doctors have not been able to figure out why I have this condition; it came on suddenly after I had my last baby, Andrew. I've went into remission once since then for about a year and I'm hoping and praying that I will go into remission again.But until then, I just hope my friends and family understand I will try my hardest to not let these darn headaches interfere with my normal activities and I will try my hardest not to be grumpy :)

My Interests



I love spending time with my kids and my husband. I also love reading, cooking, and watching a good movie with the kids. I love music of all kinds, when I get the chance to actually play some of my own. It's usually the kids who have their goofy stuff playing on the stereo. I've just recently started scrapbooking so I'm sure that will be my new addiction.

I'd like to meet:



Music:



For my birthday, Tom just bought me a Stiletto, which is a personal Sirrius radio with headphones, just like an MP3 player. It's really cool! I can listen to all the Sirrius channels or record music. It's perfect for the gym.

Movies:

The Departed, Catch and Release, The Lake House, Dragonfly, Skeleton Key, The Wedding Date, Pride and Prejudice, Wedding Crashers. Of course I love chick flicks, comedies, and even the occasional sci-fi or action. I love documentaries. I'll watch almost anything.

Television:

When I have the time to turn on the TV I love to catch an episode of my favorite shows such as: Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Lost, House, American Idol, Big Love, The Bachelor, The Sopranos, The L Word, What About Brian, Weeds.

Books:

I love reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Unfortunately, lately I only have time to read the 8 or so chapters per week that I'm required to read for school. I have a stack of about 30 books beside my bed that I need to tackle.

Heroes:

Anyone who can break the cycle and become successful and accomplish their dreams. My husband, who works his butt off 16 or so hours a day, six days a week. I love you baby!!
