I have a voice. Take that how you will. I write about the world and the problems that I find out about. I don’t write about fluffy puppies most of the time.
We have a Brady Bunch life where I live. My partner and I share a total of 6 kids between us with three still at home. Yes I live in the teenage twilight zone! Battlestations ahead.
This year my husband had a devastating heart attack. We are relearning normal. He has some brain damage from lack of oxygen at the onset and the almost four weeks in a coma following. Rehab is a new way of life. Just a new dip on our pathway.
I've done the homeschool thing. I've done the single mom thing. I have miles on these smile lines that you've never seen. I groove to Slam. I dance to da tunes.
And I think the Meredith Brooks' song Bitch is the true song of my life. ;P
