    About Me

    I'm a 39 yr. old mom of 3 beautiful girls (soon to be a grandma) I was dignosed with fibromyalgia in 2001. I try not to let it get me down and try to do one more thing when it does just to prove it wrong. I married a year and a half ago to my 2nd husband. We don't get to spend much time togather but try to make the most of it when we do. I always try to do one good thing a day; whether it be for family, friend or a stranger; maybe myself if i'm lucky...ha ha I provide childcare for a 2 and 4 yr. old, and part time for a 7 yr. old. Plus, I have an 8yr. old and 16 yr. old. Once a week we try to get out of the house, (what a day those are...lol) Having them seems to keep me busy and gives me a little more exercise that I probably wouldn't have done and also a little more tired (so i can sleep at night). My oldest; 17, just graduated and just let me know she is expecting... Not a good way to start out her grown up life(I'd rather her told me she was going off to college), but we will get through it and make the best of it.

    Interests

    I enjoy walking, fishing, playing pool, swimming, spending time with the children. I like to paint (but my arms don't seem too)
