I was raised in rural southeast Ohio by two parents that didn't have a high school education between them. I lost my father to cancer and my mother to Crazy Town. I have overcome addiction, graduated college(after starting 17 years prior), and moved away from the small town bullshit to a lovely home in Atlanta, GA. I am a huge animal lover, having four rescues of my own. Although I always said I didn't want to have children, I met a sweet man at 30, married him, and had a baby boy in April 2015. I am very blunt, sometimes brash (OK, most of the time), and a bit sarcastic. If my blogs offend you, I am not sorry. This is America.
