    • About Me

      I am a single mother to a very challenging 15 month old daughter. Getting her to sleep is one very hard task. Getting her NOT to bite me....you guessed it! Impossible. Just trying to do the best I can when my world is already rocky. I didn't think life could be so hard. I was also told that God won't give you move then you can handle - bullshit. I now know this is not true. Learning new stuff every day. :)

My antibody levels are VERY VERY high due to the Hashimoto's.
