About Me  

Hey there! I'm so glad you found the time to stop by my blog.

For me, writing this is cathartic. You see, it's my job to write... no, I don't get paid for this blog (I wish!). I'm a TV news producer, which basically means if you hear the anchors say just about anything on air, it was written by someone... namely, me. But the writing I do there and the writing I do here couldn't be more different. At work, it's my job to be brief, serious, and to-the-point. But on my blog, I can use as many words as I want (sorry 'bout that!), use as much sarcasm as I want, and even broach topics that would never make it past the TV censors.


You've already figured out I'm a full-time employee. I'm also a full time wife & mother. My husband-- affectionately referred to throughout my blog as "DH"-- is my rock, my foundation, my solid footing in an otherwise chaotic world. We've been married since 2005, and have lived in three different states in just that short amount of time. He works as a sheriff's deputy, which is a big reason why I don't share our exact location, his name, our last name, or our daughter's name.

And that brings me to my wonderful, beautiful, amazing daughter, "G". She's my heart outside my body. G joined our family in September 2008, and there are still times to this very day that I look at her, and cannot believe that I was pregnant, gave birth, and have reared this child to this point in her life. The time has gone by faster than I could have ever imagined. Every so often, I find myself thinking, "There's no way I could enjoy an age more than insert-G's-current-age-here." But you know what? I've found that, like a fine wine, G just gets better with age.

We've also got our precocious puppy, Ducky-- who isn't really a puppy anymore. Known alternately as "Ducky", "Duck Duck", "Ducky Doo" and a slew of other diminutives, she is the epitome of the fountain of youth. She never tires of doing laps around the house, chasing her own tail, or trying to eat G's dirty diapers. She makes our family complete.

So, what do you get when you combine one full-time employee, wife, mother, dog owner, and housekeeper (well, part-time housekeeper)? One full-time frazzled woman! This blog is my brutally honest account of my mission to have it all... and my realization that sometimes, that's all but impossible.

I hope you enjoyed meeting us, and like what you see here. Always feel free to leave a comment, sign up to follow, or grab my button; and be sure to leave me the link to your blog so I can repay the visit!
