    About Me

    I am a 39 year old happily married woman with four children (ages 18, 13, 11, and 5 years).My 5 year old has Asperger's. I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis in July '05 which eventually led to the diagnosis of Bipolar I with paranoid features, OCD, High Blood Pressure, and Anxiety with Panic Attacks. My goal and passion is to get fully well and back to the old me that enjoyed life and cared about my family with all my heart.I want to be the best soldier for God that I can possibly be. I am disabled now due to my Bipolar.

    Interests

    Christianity, I like rainy days, thunderstorms, dogs, babies, Nora Roberts novels, horror/thiller flicks, roses, dancing by myself for exercise (when my body allows), country drives, my sound machine set on flowing stream, naps, lots more but I can't think of everything right now. I too love my family. I don't like arrogance, rudeness, ignorance, prejudice, dishonesty, theives, judgemental individuals, lots more here as well. Lloyd Carl Owle (Cherokee).....You are part of me now You touched me, With your kindness and love So enchanted. Your soft lips are kind. Your eyes glow with life. I'm glad you touched me, You're part of me now.
