About me

Growing up in Kentucky, doesn't make me a hillbilly, being from Hazard, Ky. does. I am a 43 year old widow with 5 biological kids from my only husband of 22 years,who I met at the University of Kentucky, and 2 adopted kids I just picked up along the line. We won't discuss my animals....
I have a two beautiful grandsons, Matthew Aaron Cotton, And Colton Scott Cotton (say that five times quickly!) who always brings a smile to my face. Of course my children do to, I justlive with them 24/7, I don't Matthew.

I want to practice as much as time allows as it is really my only outlet, Please send me input as I like to know if my life is as crazy as I think or as average as others are...
