About

I am a 38 year old stay at home mom and almost full time nursing student to 3 girls ages 13, 9 and 5. I graduated from Auburn University and spent a little over 6 years in the Air Force. I decided to separate when I was pregnant with our middle girl and knew that I needed to put my priorities in order. So that’s what I do on a daily basis…try to put my priorities in order and maintain my sanity…not always an easy job.  Now that we are more settled and all of my kids are in school full time, I felt I needed to give myself a project to work on…to continue to grow as a person outside of mother hood….so I chose nursing school. Now I’m tired.

My husband separated from Active Duty Air Force and after a very chaotic job search, we landed in Northern Virginia.  He is a government contractor (he crossed over to the dark side–they had cookies!) and I continue to be a stay at home mom/student.  I expect Wally and the Beav to get home from school at any moment!  Just kidding!

When I’m not doing laundry, cleaning, helping with homework or shuttling kids to activities, I like to read, scrapbook, cross-stitch, crochet, attempt to knit and run.  Can’t always do them all, but enjoy them when I can.

I used to be more liberal than those we interacted with on a daily basis, but since we joined the outside, it’s not like that so much. I like to think out of the box to solve problems. I think more of us should be willing to swim upstream than to follow the flow. Not just to cause a controversy, but I think a lot people’s actions are not in line with what they say their life philosophy is. I like quick witted, sarcastic humor. Jon Stewart is my hero.   Well, him and Rachel Maddow.
