About Me

About me, huh?
I am a Mom and a wife and those are my two most important roles. I spend a lot of time with my kids and love being with my family. I do want to travel more, though. I have this dream that my kids will see all 50 states before they graduate high school. We've seen about 10. Some more than we'd like. All on the eastern seaboard. I just want to make a quick trip into California before it falls into the ocean!
I miss the past and look forward to the future. I have an optimistic outlook and a tremendous sense of humor because it gets you through the hard parts.
I am a Christian, but don't attend church right now. Although I probably have more conversations with God than anyone I know. I have a lot of differing opinions about God and when I find a church that gets that, I may go back. My kids believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny and I am tired of people who say it's not Christian to teach your kids these things.
I have the best kids ever and my husband is the most patient and sensible man I know. He is my rock. I protect my children with unmatched ferocity. You will not see their pics here because there are too many perverts .. and they do not deserve the right to see my children. I think they should be castrated. And women should have their hole sewn together. I have no patience or forgiveness for people who commit crimes against children.
Feel free to ask what you want to know. I am fairly nice and mostly friendly. I have little to hide and am quite (sometimes brutally)honest. Talk to you soon!

My Interests

I like to watch movies on TV and listen to music. I like to dance, but only with the kids because I really can't dance.
I love pretty gardens and the kids' artwork. I love to reminisce. I read like a madwoman. I love poetry. Music is like a magical poetry. One song can do so many things- it can turn you on, it can make you cry, it can bring a loved one home. It can cheer you up or make you silly. It can make you remember or forget. What do you come up with when you think of the soundtrack of your life?

I'd like to meet:

I am not really star-struck, so I don't see how meeting someone famous could really impact my life, unless they're sharing their fortune (no strings attached)!!

Music:

I like a wide variety of music...If I listed it, you would laugh...80s music will always hold a special place for me...Aw, hell, here goes!...and mmaaannnnnnyyyy mooooorrrrreeeeWe'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends
-Michael W. Smith

Movies:

I really like most things with happy endings. Funny, I like funny... No musicals, ugg, really can't stand most of them... I like horror movies,

but being that I am a big chicken,

I have to watch them in the morning so that I don't get nightmares!
(Great with surround sound!)

Television:

Sadly I am a Survivor junkie-

and I love Grey's Anatomy,

Desperate Housewives & I watch the Amazing Race, though not as religiously as Survivor...

Steve Irwin taught my kids a lot about animals and conservation and really got them into the reptiles...and I still can't watch his show without getting tears in my eyes! I couldn't leave him off my page!

Books:

I love to read...a lot of stuff. I love Nora Roberts

and Sandra Brown; I like biographies and autobiographies of almost anyone (probably because I am so damn nosy!), and very few books containing a lot of detail. I just read a book that my uncle enjoyed by Leon Uris and was captured. It was long and full of description and took me almost a month to finish, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Most books take 2-3 days. Some things just weren't meant to be read quickly.

I am still reading Beloved by Toni Morrison and plan to read Chris Whitcomb's book on being a sniper and member of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team.

(Cold Zero-Thanks Barb! The pic is for you!) JD Salinger displayed genius when he created Holden Caulfield...(I might actually like to meet him, just to find out how it all ended...)I really recommend all parents read Gavin DeBecker's "Protecting the Gift."

I really recommend BOTH BOOKS!

Heroes:

Gavin DeBecker for his insight on what parents should teach their kids...
