About Me
I am a LPN that is currently unable to work, I love my family and my pets. I have 2 cats now and 2 dogs as well as a snake. I am the guardian of 5 children and my younger sister. I enjoy crafting, reading, gardening (when I can) thrift store shopping and watching some tv and movies. I LOVE House MD and wish he was MY doctor! I also like true crime and fantasy movies and books. Leverage is also a favorite as is Sanctuary.
