About Me
I am a stay-at-home mom of two children. My son is now 17, and my daughter turned 9 the day before Halloween. My children are the loves of my life and my only family, other than a handful of loving, supportive friends. I am both mom and dad to my children. When the school year started, both of my children were attending the same school district, were involved in extracurricular activities, and loving it. My son is residing elsewhere now, choosing to jump into the adult world although he is a junior in high school. And my daughter and I are a pair again, a place we have been before and are again. Girls rule! Every day I strive to make our house a home, and I am proud to say that for the first time in years, I don't have a storage unit! I have recently began selling on eBay once more, and I have 20+ years of accumulation to sort through that will provide more than enough items to list! The first half of my life is over, but I believe the last will be the best. I have goals and dreams, and although dark clouds hang over my life at times, I believe that I can make them a reality. There is more to life than the pits!
