So here we go

I'm new to blogging but not new to writing. I am in the process of writing a book. I'll get to that. Lets talk current news. I am mom to 3 year old Payton and 11 year old Luke. Luke is my stepson, but will hopefully be with us full time within 6-9 months. Papers were filed 2 weeks ago. yay! His mom is, and always has been, a PIA and a horrible mother. I dont even like to classify her as a mother. She's been deemed a pathological liar and she's a poor excuse for a parent, but Luke is delightful nonetheless. He's a good boy - has some fears and sensitivity due to his situation but we pray that getting 100% custody (over the 50% we have now) will make that much better. Luke's in 5th grade, moving on to middle school next year. I'm just not ready for that transition. I've been in his life since age 4 and he's grown so much. I am thrilled that I've been able to share his life. I love him like my own.  Ain't he handsome? That's our crazy cat, Shorty Doobenstein.

So, my daughter.....oh that wonderful spirit, that lively beautiful little girl. There are no words to describe how my heart feels when she walks into the room. There really isn't. You moms know how it feels. It's a blessing and something I cherish. She's a great little girl. We just weened off of binkies on her 3rd birthday & I'm relieved it was so easy. She's starting preschool in the fall and is obsessed with Elmo, Barney, Mickey Mouse & Chuck E Cheese!

Yes, she's cute- i know :)

I'm married to a great man, Kevin. He's polar opposite of me in some things, but it works out. He's lax, I'm routined. He works shift work, I work 730-4 M-F. He is sloppy, I'm retentive. He's big and muscular, me...not so much. We do both enjoy being together, being with our kids, seeing movies, eating out & being together. I've known him for 13 years but we've been married for only 5 (on 4/8/2011).

So that's me, and these are my fantastic kids.

Family is #1. We strive to give our kids everything that we can; the things we missed out on & the things we were given that helped mold us to be who we are today. We work hard to do so and love being able to go places and have fun. We are very blessed.

Aside from that, I am Vice President on Luke's school PTA, I am heavily involved in volunteer activites, go to church whenever I can, love to sleep & love these tv shows: Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Mike and Molly, Friends, House, Modern Family, King of Queens & The Cosby Show.

I am a happy person, I give my all, and my heart is always in the right place. Life is GOOD :)
