About Me

I love these boys...

I currently work in the proud profession of Motherhood. The pay stinks, but the benefits are amazing!! I have two sons, Dax Riley is 4 and Thomas Jack is 2! Now, I'm preparing to finish my degree and hopefully find my niche. I am a fun-loving, easy going, sensitive person, with great patience and love for teaching children. But... I'm also stubborn, moody, sarcastic, pissed off and just plain frustrated with the world. F. you, BUSH!

"Negative people can speak their mind but you are not required to listen."

" Your authentic self cannot rely on other people's validation... I know that when you are genuinely genuine, there will invariably be people who don't accept you. And in this case, you must be your own badass self, without apology." --Katie Goodman

Dax Meets A Caterpillar.
Our family can kick your family's ass!

My Interests

I really appreciate anyone open enough to share their craft, what ever it is- I love theatre, movies, sports, dance, poetry, comedy, photography, museums, monuments, exhibits, the Earth itself and especially Music, music and live Music!! I love playing soccer, scrimmaging, floating the river, camping, swimming, going to the bar & taking naps, singing as loud as I want to, dancing whenever and wherever I want to, eating whatever I want to, and generally doing whatever I please...

Thomas is my big baby!

Family = Life

I'd like to meet:


My Self 10 years ago. My Self 10 years from now.

Give A Shit About Humanity. Please Watch This!

................ U2 & Green Day The Saints Are Coming .................

"I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things that I've done.
I wish I knew how to keep the promises that I made you
But life, I guess it goes on.
Yeah, I know it goes on.
You see, I've learned it goes on.
And then I'll hang us on the wall.
And I'll crawl into the open side
And I'm blind to it all.
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side?
Become blind to it all
To it all, to it all."
