I am a 36 year old stay at home mom. Currently I am working on my BASS w/Education Concentration, through Ashford University online. My near future plan is to teach language arts after I've obtained my degree and my Irish-Gaelic certification. I plan to also write a few books in Irish-Gaelic. I have a part time business cleaning commercial & residential, and I have a wonderful, loving and caring husband. My life is pretty constantly demanding but its contented. I have a pretty painted past of myself but the stories that come from family who think they know me about half are littered or misconstrued.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

Working at Dairy Queen.

My best moment ...

When I was honorably discharged from the Army.

My inspiration ...

Dark sight was heatingly holding deaths crimson gig
