    • About Me

      I have one year left of my "hard core" nursing classes that is leading me to the ultimate goal of becoming an RN. I am a mother of two children ages 7 and 4, and have a disabled husband who was injured in an at work accident in November 2005. We are currently fighting with worker's comp for hubby perament total disability and until that eventaully comes through. I work shifts with another local paid fire/rescue department to make the ends meet (well as close to meeting as I can get). Also in my free time I am a volunteer EMT for my local community. I have been running rescue for just over 3 years now and I absolutley love giving back to the community and helping out those in their greatest times of need.

    • Kiss

      From ArtsyLady1 May 25

      Your cat and mine sound so alike! LOL Hope that the doctors find out what is making you so tired. I keep saying I'm going to push my doctors to check that out, too, but haven't. Me bad. I hope you can get some rest - I know it's hard with the kids, the husband, and everything else, but I can wish it for you, right? {{{HUGS}}}

    • Moment of Peace

      From ArtsyLady1 May 17

      Gwen is mostly Russian Blue, but she has some other breed in her (she has 3 little spots of white and, now that she's getting older we can see some orange under her top coat). She's such a stereotypical cat - very aloof, yet she wants to be petted when she wants to be petted! Was your cat the same? Sending you wishes for some good moments of peace! {{{HUGS}}}

    • Little Love

      From ArtsyLady1 May 16

      Just sending you a little love and hoping all is okay by you. Haven't had much of a chance lately to keep up with everyone, but didn't want you to think I'd forgotten you, Robin! {{{HUGS}}}
