: About Me

I am 27 years old and a mother to 3 boys and 1 stepson. I work as a freelance writer while attending college. I am majoring in criminal justice. I will graduate with my Associates of Science in December 08 with an additional certification in Domestic Violence. Since I am in an accelerated program I will have my B.S in December of 09 and also an additional certification in Homeland Security.

I did a small and I mean very small thing in the National Guard. By small I mean I was in an RSP unit and never shipped out of it to basic. That is fine after all I got out because of my family and well family comes first with me.

I like all sorts of music that range from classical to rap. If it has a beat that I like I am listening to it. My kids are the same way.

Right now I spend Saturdays at my two oldest boys basketball games. It is cute watching 2nd Graders and Kindergartners play basketball in an actual team setting against other teams.
