I'm new to this so forgive me.

First and foremost I am "mom", (although I have selective hearing and often choose to not answer to that title, especially when it is whined or yelled).

Getting divorced is the pits. I hope the windows that open with that door closing will offer many new and enjoyable experiences to counteract the sad ones of the past 5 years. (I'm getting a little worried that all of my windows have been painted shut.)

I'm hardheaded and softhearted. I've been blessed with a supportive family, loving friends, great kids, the gospel and I was fortunate enough to be born in a time where spell checkers prevent most embarrassing spelling errors ;). Life is good!

Playing with family and friends, reading, walks in the beautiful parks around here (calling these walks "hikes" would probably be an exaggeration) and lately, softball and baseball games (with 2 games per kid, per week it seems like every evening is spent at a ball field.)
