About Me
I try my best to be a good mama to my two beautiful girls, they are my life, my everything.. without them I'd be nothing. They have kept me sane through the divorce process from my ex... It's taking a major toll on me, but I have wonderful parents who help me through. Including helping me get my own place, just me and my girls... SCARY!

Interests
I recently took a training class to teach a NAMI provider course that will give mental health pro's a bettter idea of how the consumer and their family members feel while going thru the lovely process of having a mental 'illness'. Teaching my 2nd class in July '09... and am looking forward to the advancements in the mental health field. The class was also another step towards working on my social anxiety and self esteem. I have talked for our chapter of NAMI in front of a room full of people without passing out!I just finished up a pyschosocial rehabilitation class which has me overcoming so many obstacles. I did 2 presentations and still got an 'A' ;) I still karaoke once in a while.. I love when I find a song that fits me well and I can get through it with confidence.
