A mostly stay at home mother for the last 16+ years, I have been with the love of my life for 19+ years (my, how time flies!), and now live in a semi-rural area with the kids, a dog, a budgie and a soft-shelled turtle (strictly aquatic). For fun, I play babble, puzzle pirates (viridian ocean -- yarrrr!), paint, garden and read. I have recently (2008) returned to school, and will begin a Master's in Teaching program in the Autumn of 2009. More about me (in boring detail) at stidmama.com!

rabble rouser
or is that rabble-raiser?
either way, the rabble rebels
and rebellion reigns...

Gardening when I can, painting (pictures -- and sometimes walls), writing, reading, playing games online and bored (or board), and yes, spending time with my family.
