Hi, I am a thirty-something married woman living in North Carolina. I have a thirty-something husband who I love dearly on most days except for the days he makes me mad which is not that often but when he does…watch out! He and I both work full- time and barely have time to sleep and breathe.

He introduced me to riding a Harley four years ago when we met. We would go when we had the chance and ride off down the highway. Flash forward four years and now he is the man who refuses to clean the Harley to take me for a ride because it just takes too much time. From what, I am not sure. I gave him a bike cover so it would stay clean and increase my chances of going for a ride, but instead of cleaning the bike, he simply covered it and parked it. I guess so much for my dreams of living the wild biker chick life.

I have a son who I adore and who is my little best friend. He is thirteen going on thirty. His favorite thing to do right now is to ask me if I want to see his muscles and then he will flex to see if there is a change from the last time he asked me which is usually only a few hours earlier. When he smiles I see the glimmer from his new braces that just cost us an arm, leg, foot, toe, whatever you got…they took it to pay for them. My son is also involved in every sport known to mankind. After a long day of work, I am forced to break the speed limit to get through rush hour traffic and then I run through lights that I swear were yellow in order to get him from one place to another. I love every minute of being a mom and would not trade it for the world!

 

I have a wonderful sweet eleven year old stepdaughter who has enlightened me about Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. Disney Channel is a must at our house. After almost four years I am still trying to remember the foods she will or will not eat. They seem to change from week to week. She is also getting braces in a few months. Ah, the fun never ends.

 

To add to the family chaos, we have a big black lab who thinks he needs all the attention and is determined to never sleep in on a Saturday. Last but not least we have a spoiled lazy princess cat who acts like it is her job to always looks down on the peons in her house. She is so above all of us.

 

I am a full-time worker, wife, mother and overall Superwoman. I have what I call my “me” time though and make time every week for exercise, writing, reading and watching a few shows. I think it is important to take a few minutes out of a busy schedule to sit back and relax. I watch most of the health related, fitness and cooking shows that are out there. DVR is my friend. My dreams are many but include becoming a full-time writer, a forgotten dream from college that I plan to make a reality. Being a thirty-something woman is crazy, wonderful, adventurous, exciting, and sometimes just chaotic, but always interesting. Welcome to my world!
