Where you live/general location, type of home? Findlay, OH

 A short bio - about me statement.  Oh, I f'n hate these!  I'm 39 now w/ three kids, can be the nicest person in the world until you screw with me or mine, and have Multiple Sclerosis.

 Interests and/or hobbies.  Love to take pics of what the hell ever catches my eye, swim and take long walks when the MS will let me.

Kids - genders and ages - names?  Mitchell is 20, Paige is 18 & Isabelle is 11.

Relationship status  Seriously awesome b/f (Michael) who me and Izzy are going to go live with this summer.

Wahm, Wohm or Sahm. - what type of work?  Retired.

How did you find Cafemom?  Tried to do a work at home thing that turned out to be a pain in the ass w/ rare training so ditched it.

What's your favorite thing or feature at Cafemom?  Sounds like I'm kissing ass here, but I found I was more attracted to CHB then the work at home portion! lol!

Whats your favorite thing about CHB?  Finding out that there are more woman on here like me than I'd thought & posting my thoughts if I feel like it w/o any left over hard feelings.

Who is your favorite person on CHB?  Haven't been here long enough to really find anyone yet.  Damn it!

What is your favorite game played at CHB? Ditto the above.  MS has been screwing with me so I haven't really come on too much or too long.

What's your favorite thing about being a parent?  The end of the evening when we'd all curl up together in front of the tv after all their sport practices, etc.  I've only got Iz to do that with so it's getting rare now. ;(

What has been your biggest parenting challenge?  Getting them to see that I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to the older ones' futures!!

 What's the best parenting advice you've ever gotten from someone?

To relax b/c my two oldest are still young & that they aren't "killing" their futures so much as being kind of lax about them so to please just don't hyperventilate so much about it.

 How does your family deal with your Cafemom addiction?  Don't really care cuz they got their own vices online & since I'm dealing w/ MS sx's I can't "hog" the computer as much right now! lol!

Who on CHB makes you LOL for real?  When someone tells it like they see it in a sarcastic manner.  I LOVE sarcasm!

Left or Righty?  Righty.

If you could have a weekend to yourself what would you do?  Ha, I'm one of the lucky ones who DOES get weekends to myself and I read, read, read and then come on here!!!!

What are 3 three flaws you see in yourself?  I close myself off before I will cry in front of anyone, I have a gazillion "flaws" called lesions in my brain right now & I get mean sarcastic when I get pissed.

What are 3 of your top qualities?  Try to be a great mother whether the kids see it or not, loyal to my friends & like to help others.

Are you happy in your place in life?  Yes.

are you a glass half empty person or glass half full? Half full.

Were you named after someone?  Nope.

When was the last time you cried?  Yesterday.

Do you use sarcasm alot?  My modis operandi.

Are you a risk taker (bungee jump, parachute, etc)?  YEP!

What is your favorite cereal?  Life cuz Mikie like it. lol!

If you were a crayon what color would you be?  Red.

Mountain hideway or beach house?  Beach house w/ lots of bungalow guys to hand me a drink that comes w/ a kick ass umbrella in it!

What color is your hair? Is that your natural color?  Brown with gray & yes.

What book are you reading now?  People of the Masks.

Summer or winter?  Summer even tho it sucks for MS, but doesn't really matter cuz winter screws with me too, the bitch!

Favorite dessert?  Cheesecake, plain.

Who do you miss the most?  My oldest two b/c they don't come around as much anymore.

What is the first thing you notice about other people?  How funny or not they are.

Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?  Not always, if ever.

Anything else you want to add?  That I am one blessed bitch if there ever was one b/c if it weren't for the MS and becoming homeless, I never would have seen the kind of person I was before and would have missed out on learning and changing my life around.  I also was able to finally be the kind of g/f to my b/f that he deserves & the kind of mother my children never had b/c I worked so much.  I also am learning how to cry in front of others so that they can see that I am not made out of granite and that I do need help sometimes...as long as they don't piss me off. lol!!
