About Me
I'm a forty-something, full-time mom of two little kids- boy, 6, girl, 2 (both through adoption). Luuuuuuv them. My husband is a great guy. I like to dance (belly and ballet). I don't like sports. I like art, sewing, music, theatre (I've been an actress most of my adult life), reading, decorating in my own way. Styles I like are retro, goth, vamp, pin-up, rockabilly- even though I pretty much dress like any other park mom on the block. I am getting into costume design. I'm community minded and have fantastic friends.

Hug
It hard for me to give off a strong sense of surviving when sometimes I don't feel like I'm surviving....if that makes sense but, I get what your saying and maybe I'll just have to sort through all of my confusion before I find strength but I guess I shouldn't totally give up on strength in itself..

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've never been particularly skinny, even though I always wanted to be. I don't want to be that anymore, but I would like to lose the weight I've been holding onto out of depression. I went through infertility treatments before my kids came along, and I gained about 40 lbs from that point. I'm doing a ton to turn many aspects of my life around, and I'm ready to lose this weight. I believe a woman should look curvy and fabulous, not like a movie-star. I believe I should be able to feel good in my own body- fit and healthy.
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Ive hired a life coach who works only with moms. Shes great and shes part of the reason why Im ready to face my weight.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- medication for depression is ultimately bullshit. It might help for a bit but the side effects are not worth it. And when do you get better?
Close Vegetarians & Vegans
I want to live vegan. However, my husband is a meat eater. I'm also still used to the way I grew up, knowing recipes that include some meat, eggs, and dairy. My kids are fussy eaters, but I know I could see my way around that in time. So there are obstacles, but I'm making the effort toward change. My reasons for wanting the change run the range from environmental, to animal welfare, to colon health, to weight loss.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
Open Homeschooling
I would love to home school, but it would end my marriage! (laughs out loud in an uncomfortable way). I would like to maintain the principals (no pun intended) of homeschooling, unschooling in particular, while my children still attend school.
Open Adoption
I have two young children through adoption. A very open relationship with the birth family of my youngest, but closed with the eldest. Wish it was open too.
Open Healthy Sex
I've been with my husband for 10 years, but married just 4 of those years. In the last 7 years, we've had sex about 6 times. I need help.
Treatments
- Patience Considering
- There's only so much a person can take.
Open Infertility
Well, I had two ectopic pregnancies that tried to kill me. After naively listening to doctors, we....I....ME....went through all the invasiveness of IVF crap. Happily, we ended up adopting, which is what I wanted to do in the first place.
Treatments
- Adoption Working / Worked
