Life
About Me: I am crazy busy with my 5 kids, one cat,husband, job,and two businesses. Addicted to: coffee,chocolate,people who make me laugh,the news,and now..the internet. Am currently also in the throes of planning my daughters wedding (late summer!), and a HS gradutation party for another daughter.
My interests: writing, gardening, watching my amazing kids in their bazillion activities which currently include:all forms of dance,singing,acting,piano,art,and cheerleading.
How I de-stress: I try, emphasis on the word try, to watch American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance (when they're on, when I'm actually home, and when there is actually enough lack of noise and activity in this house to enjoy it) I also love to read but haven't found the time to read a book since 2006. I am finding this website to be a good alternative. Oh, and I literally love to stop and smell the flowers. I spend waaay to much money on them! Listen to soft jazz.
Best advice I've gotten: Still waiting for those magic words that will make everything fall into place and flow....
An adjective to describe me: ONE?
My favorite movie: Chicago

My Day: 15th May 2008

What made me the happiest ...
Staying true to myself
My day in one word ...
Empowering

Welcome MAC, It's nice to meet you. I loved reading your profile! Your family sounds a lot like my family growing up. I'm the oldest of four girls ranging in age from 10-25 as well. I'm a moderator for the site, so just let me know if I can ever answer any questions for you:). Also, here are some fun places to check out.
