Diane hasn't written a snapshot yet.

Currently on my Life Wish List:

Learn to play violin
Get nice furniture
Buy a trampoline!
Live in the country
Create a wonderful garden
Lots of beach vacations
Goals I am working on:

Start daily walking and stretching again
Worry less
Be calm
Plan some travel/getaway time into our lives
Get out in the garden every day, even if I only get a tiny bit of yard work done it will all add up. Right...?
Projects I am working on:

Never-ending list of house repairs
Animal rescue volunteer work. I usually foster just one dog at a time now that I have a toddler. I also maintain the rescue group's master list of foster animals. It's my job to try and keep track of all our critters. It gets very confusing!
Backyard birding. I've become interested in learning about birds and learning to identify the bird species in my backyard. I've id'd about 25 species so far. My husband calls me The Bird Nerd. Right now I am focusing on building a nesting box for Carolina Wrens. See? Nerdy, huh?
Never seem to make progress on this goal--time! time! Never enough!

Hi Diane, Yes I love the movie It's a Wonderful Life...Also I noticed your an animal love. I rescued a baby sparrow from a crow that plucked him out of its nest the other day. I saw him do it and yelled at him as he was snatching him, he was startled and dropped the tiny bird to the ground. I went over and picked it up and put it back into the nest. So far so good, Score is baby sparrow (1) and crow went hungry. :)

Hi Diane,
I'm a huge animal lover myself! I've always done fundraising for animal welfare and have worked at the ASPCA, and 2 local humane societies. Now I work part time for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center - they rescue and release seals, sea turtles, dolphins and whales! I do lots of fostering - right now mostly kittens. Nice to 'meet' you!

Thanks for the warm welcome! Thank you also for the links. I could write about fashion non-stop all day -- totally addicted to this site.

Thank you, neighbor! You are right. I am an instructor for survival lessons. We are getting away from calling them swimming lessons because that is an added bonus. The goal is to make sure that should a child find themselvse in a body of water they have the self rescue skills to prevent a drowning. My son went thru the program and then I hosted an instructor at my home so I saw the lessons on a daily basis for an entire summer. One day after a horrible day in Corporate America, I talked to my husband about becoming an instructor and he was all for it. It was the best decision I've ever made. I'm spending more time with my children and touching other's lives too. It is very rewarding. So how did you become a work from home blogger?

Thanks for the warm welcome, Diane! I still trying to get to know this site, but I am looking forward to getting involved. Any advice on what to do first?

Thanks Diane! I am glad that I stumbled upon this sight... It is so nice to know that there are other WAHM's out there... and they get stressed also. Sometimes, I think I am the only one... :)

Diane,

Ugh, I'm sorry I put an "a" at the end of your name in my first comment. :( It's like when people put an "h" in my name. Sorry about that.
