: About Me

I am a stay at home mother of two children, ages 13 and 2 respectively. Both sons are a major inspiration behind what I write. I have been married once before and am working on what I HOPE is my last marriage.

I graduated college with a degree in News-Ed Journalism in 2003. I later married and had another child so my career will have to wait at least for now. I met my current husband while I was in school... sort of!

I am very concerned about the education my child receives especially since he is ADHD. I am also concerned about the medical care my baby receives so much that most of my writing centers on them.

The economy worries me greatly. As a stay at home mom, I see good and bad about two incomes vs. one income. A dilemma facing many parents nowadays.

In my spare time, I try to write on my murder mystery novel. (I placed the very beginning on here a while back.) However, at the moment, I am on a writer's block even though I know eventually what happens. Its just the matter of getting the details down.

Other than that.... there isn't much else in my life. I moved to a place I thought would help me advance in my career but life tricked me and I got a son instead. How much of a miracle was that?

Autos > Driving & Safety Should school buses have and enforce seat belt use?

11 of 23

Should schools buses be designed with seatbelts? Without a doubt and unequivocally, the answer is yes. In 2007, seven students were injured in a one-vehicle accident after the bus driver looked in the mirrors to check on them and fortuitously went through a bridge railing, going into the ditch. Thankfully, the bus didn't roll over and students were not seriously hurt. It is no surprise that the topic of school bus seatbelts came up once again in the state and around the nation. Most school buses are not outfitted with seatbelts since they are older model vehicles. Yet, they transport the m...
