About Me

I’m a lot of things. I’m a wife, a mother, a nurse, a Christian, a homeschooling parent, and more than a little bit geek. I was raised in California. I have a wonderful husband Dominic who is the love of my life. Together we have a big family.

My children are: Reagan (boy – 11), Piper (girl – 6), Bridget (girl – 4), Sarah (baby girl lost at 22 weeks 2/25/05), Ciaran (boy – 2), and Quinn (boy – born 11/28/07).  My husband’s daughter Karina (16) still lives in California with her mother and step-father. She’s fantastic and I adore her. I was incredibly blessed with a step-daughter who likes me, and whom I like. She’s great to talk to, funny, smart, and a good shopping partner. We see her often since my husband works for an airline.

I have many interests including theater, music, history, sci-fi/fantasy, and reading. I also am fascinated by pregnancy and childbirth and would love to become a midwife. I’m kind of girly and love a good Jane Austen novel, hot tea, and rain. And I am large part geek, being a fan of Monty Python, Eddie Izzard, Mel Brooks, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, Star Trek, gaming and so much more.

We’ve been homeschooling since Fall of 2003 when my son started the first grade. Though he is in public school now, Piper is being homeschooled and we plan to homeschool all of the children.

And while I run around trying to be so many things, I manage to find time to blog and let out my thoughts, keep family updated as to how we’re doing, and keep track of our homeschooling and family journey. I think I might even have managed to hold on to my sense of humor in all this mayhem! I can only hope.

I welcome questions.

    Q- Who do you think is the 12th (or 5th, depending on how you number them,) Cylon (sp) going to end up being (sorry about grammar.)

    The final five…tough question. I seriously don’t know. Jennifer/Cally and I have debated it a number of times. I think maybe Ellen Tigh, or Gata .

    Well, Ellen’s not in the fleet. Because she’s dead. Although, if she were the last Cylon, she’d be downloaded into a new body. =)

    Perhaps its the baby Six is carrying.

    Oh, and I also love another one of your weaknesses, namely Eddie Izzard. He cracks me up.
