About me

Gender Female
Occupation Momma!
Location Chicagoland, IL, United States
Introduction Gave birth to my baby girl in April of 2007, already a proud mother of a 19-year old boy/man, step-monster to a 19 and 22 year-old, and loving mommy to a rescued black Lab, a very cute yellow lab and a black cat that likes potato chips and Bugles. Got re-hitched, in 2006, to a real-life native of Tennessee and he is one helluva man. I terrorize him daily. I'm currently a stay at home mommy. So now you know where that screaming was coming from. Our decision for me to stay home with our daughter was one we didn't take lightly. You'll hear me gripe about money sometimes. But what we lack in money, we more than make up for in humor and love. Sometimes you will hear me talk/whine/drone on about TTC (trying to conceive for you rubes) after a TR (tubal reversal). I know more about my reproductive system than a person ought to know. It's been some time since I thought I could have another of my own, so at this point, we are considering other options. Who knows? I love my family, I love my friends. I'm compassionate, silly, frugal and have a temper. Problem with that? Keep on clickin'!
