A little about us...

A little about us...Well, I am a single mama of 2. I am a dispatcher with the Highway Patrol and I'm trying to learn to live life again and enjoy the small moments. I shaved my head in October with St. Baldrick's to raise money for kids with cancer. I am also a part of 46 mommas. http://www.46mommas.com and I will shave my head with 45 other mommas whose child has or had cancer in September 2011. My daughter Abby is 12 and is amazing. She is gifted and loves to read and play her saxophone in the band. She also raises pigs and shows them at fairs all over. My son, Jaxon is 6 and was diagnosed in 2007 with hepatoblastoma, a rare form of liver cancer that had spread to both of his lungs. He received 2 liver transplants in 2008. He is now cancer free but struggles with the side effects of the chemo include stage 4 chronic kidney disease, narcolepsy, foot drop and wears foot/leg braces, nerve damage, and profound hearing loss. We are learning to live this "new normal."
I look forward to learning more about blogging and see what is out here....
