Bio
I'm a domestically impaired mother suffering from chronic SAHM syndrome, an aspiring humorist, and semi-avid runner. I'm the mother of two feral children, a three-legged dog, and a deaf cat, but we all have special needs in our own little way. Just moved from 3,000 miles north from Pensacola, FL, to Spokane, WA, and all I got was this lousy nervous tick.
