I am a single mother of three grown sons, yes my three sons. My mother had only three daughters so I had to be different. I am the third in that line of lovely girls, and yes, I got all the hand-me-downs, even though my sisters were not my size. I have had an extremely rough life trying to raise my sons and survive two marriages that didn't go well. From health issues to healing laughter I have survived and I am here to write about it all.

I have pets, kids and ex-husband stories to beat the band, but I also have a tender heart that has been broken so many times it has no more room left on it even for a Scooby-Doo Band-aid they have on the market the size of a baby's finger.

I am in the process of writing my life's novel, a series of children's stories with my cat as the lead, and have just recently been told I can write moving poetry. My first one was published in October of 2007. I have now had several items published and have two of my articles page ranked at one/ten on Google Tool Bar. They are The birth of my son Nicolas, and All about Ham Radios. Also, I have been contacted by WE Magazine to publish one of my articles in their latest eBook Series. They would like to publish my article, "How To Seduce A Man" in their next eBook online. It will include my bio, a picture and my email address.

Oh and if anyone would like to have a 17 yr old for a project just let me know, I will give him up real cheap...I just want him back when he doesn't think his mother is so stupid anymore.

Five Great Lakes, four great seasons, three international bridges to Canada, two wonderful land masses we call Upper and Lower Peninsulas and one mitten shaped State of Michigan.

Lake Michigan is on the west side of the state. It borders the long side of the small finger of the mitten down to the wrist of your left hand. It also touches the Upper Peninsula, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. Lake Superior borders above the Upper Peninsula and up into Canada and touches Wisconsin.
