Thanks, Kelly! I'm glad it spoke to you...she's in college now, and I miss her every day. But, she's turning out to be a pretty fabulous woman. *sigh*

I have a blog: www.moms-night-out.blogspot.com I've been a Christian and a single mom for twenty years...ugh (on the single part!). My blog is a lot about both journeys, because I can't seem to separate them. I've raised two biological children, fo…

This post was written as an entry in a blogging contest (my first, and possibly last!). The theme was "My Mom Logic". My take on this is that parenting isn't at all logical, and as custodial parents, I think most of us would agree. I'd love your fee…

When my oldest kids were very young and I worked a "typical" job - read outside the home - they were in daycare. This kinda killed my soul and I wanted something special to cheer us all up. This morphed into "Doughnut Day". Every Friday, we would l…

Profile Information

How many kiddo's do you have?
too many to count
Best thing about being a Single P...
Well...can I get back to you on that?
I'm here for:
Friends
What are your hobbies and interests?
I am a writer; love to read, am into photography, and REALLY want to get some sort of canoe so I can go out and explore all the awesome waterways in the Seattle area.

I also love the ocean (especially in winter); camping; travel; movies, and spending time with my family.
What type of music do you like?
Lots. I like everything from country to Cold Play. Right now, I'm into 10th Avenue North and Mandisa.
About Me:
I'm the single mom of eight kids - two the old fashioned way who are now in college (one is getting married!); and the rest by adoption through foster care. I've been single a very long time, but not through choice, it's just worked out that way.

Right now, I have four kids at home: a 17 yo girl, 9 yo boy, 8 yo boy, and 4 (!) yo boy. All are adopted except the 4 yo, he is still in the foster care system.

I am working on writing and having a life in my "free" time.

The Older I Get, The Smarter My Mom Is

Someone said that writing is easy, you just open up a vein and bleed all over the page. That's kind of where this post comes from...my mom was a single parent back in the '70s when there weren't very many. I was not a kind daughter to her, and I regret that so much. Here's the post: www.moms-night-out.blogspot.com

I'd love to hear what you think. And thanks for reading.
