About Me
I'm a 41 yr old mother of 3....ages 19, 17 and 3 (yes, we had a whoops!).I am a Registered Nurse and worked on the Cardiac critical care unit for 8 yrs before retiring .I was dx with MS in 2000 after being misdiagnosised for10 yrs. I love interior design, sewing, reading and my family/friends. I try to take it one day at a time...somedays are "do" days and others "have to rest".I must admit I hate what this disease has taken away from me but, Life is a gift and not something to be taken for granted. I also have 3 cats and two parrots that light up my life.
