I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a SAHM mom who is trying my best to homeschool my four kiddos aged 6-15. Some days are better than others but I still really love having my kids around me for much of the time. At times I almost wish I could have a "real" job but have decided that for me it doesn't get much more real than growing four people into productive adults. Now that's a challenge these days!
I am a corporate wife and that's a role I actually enjoy. I like to schmooze and that's a talent necessary in the "supporting role" of corporate wife. Since my husband travels alot for work, I pretty much run the household so I guess that would make me the CEO, COO, CFO, and on many days the VP of HR and even the custodian!
I am also interested in reading, writing, and history. I also have an interest in politics. I often question my beliefs as a Christian but I'm working on it. I also enjoy meeting people and travelling. I am also trying to regain and maintain contact with people from "my past".
My creativity is currently showcased in my scrapbooking attempts. I am also one of the advisors of the Homeschool Yearbook. Hopefully I can do a bit of writing here in my blog to put in my journal.
My professional side consists of doing Mystery Shopping and selling Pampered Chef.
That's me in a nutshell...which I guess is better than me in a nuthouse!

Why is it that I find myself celebrating Barack Obama's win very quietly?  I did my part to help get him elected.  I believe in him enough to walk miles the last two days with Piet and Will ...

(Strong Opinions!) Why is it...

...that people think they need to share, no make that shove, their opinions on the rest of us?  I'm not doing that right now because if you're reading this blog...it's your own decision to do so....

Surgery Yesterday

Everything went well and hopefully this will solve a bunch of my problems.  I'm diligently taking my meds to stay comfortable and trying not to push it.
