I love being a mom, and all my children are blessings to me.  Everthing I am is a direct result of my children and who they are to me:

My oldest lives with her father in Southern California, and I haven't had any contact for about 3 1/2 years now but I think of her each and every day.  Because of her, I strive each and every day to become a better mother. 

My son has ADHD, bipolar, and learning disabilities, but he is also affectionate, intelligent, and creative.  Because of him, I work each and every day at being more patient and compassionate.

My youngest is my princess-ballerina-daredevil, who keeps me on my toes and also keeps me in stitches.  Because of her, I have learned to not sweat the small stuff and enjoy the gift of laughter.

My dream has always been to be able to stay home and take care of my two youngest kids full-time, and now I'm so blessed to be able to do just that.  Now I just have to work on being able to volunteer on a regular basis in each of their schools.  I also dream of being contacted by my oldest daughter who has turned into the bright and beautiful young woman I have always envisioned her to be.

I am far from perfect, but thanks to my children, and my faith in God, I constantly strive towards that perfection.  That is why I am here on CM, to be a better me.  Hopefully, I'll be able to spread a little love, touch someone else's life in a special way, and share lots of laughter with some new friends.  After all, that's what life should be all about, right?
