I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm married to a wonderful man, who loves me enough to accept that I am sick (more often than not) and may not always have the house clean and food on the table when he gets home. He does more to help me than any man I know. Yes, he does the dishes, bathes the kids and even cooks a little and he's all mine :-)I have 2 beautiful children that I would do anything for. I love doing anything that involves spending time as a family. We joined the Audubon Nature Institute nearly a year ago and I'm looking forward to being a member for another year. The kids have really enjoyed it, and have been learning a lot too.I have decided to home-school Amber this year, which is definitely turning out to be the adventure I had expected. I'm not completely prepared, but I jumped in head first and I'll learn from any mistakes I make along the way. I'm hoping to make learning a fun experience for her. Being able to go at our own pace has made things much easier. Children tend to get left behind in school because they are more worried about the big picture (test scores), not each child's learning.Logan is in pre-school this year. He has been doing well and I have workbooks for him as well. He loves to do work with his big sister while he's at home. I may just keep them both home next year.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to make some new friends or maybe reconnect with old ones. I have Crohn's Disease and have also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia recently. Talking to others who also deal with these issues on a daily basis is definitely a big help.

Annoyance

I know this is so mean, but "will they please move already!"   The kids are a constant bad influence and they're over here too much when their parents let them out.  I'm not a full time baby-sitter.  ...

Another one bites the dust!!!  That's the song that just popped in my head after hearing that Brian's car problem on his way to work probably means the engine's shot.  We don't have much luc...

No balls?

It's 5 in the morning, 3 men at an Exxon station and no balls.  What's up with that?

Hi I am Fibromyalgia.

Is it just ignorance?

I was laying in bed wondering why I have not been sleeping well and have realized that once again I have let something sit on my mind and bother me.  At the moment I don't feel it would be right ...
