I am a busy mom of five pursuing my college degree in education. My passion is writing and I am never short of material.

Typical morning: "MOMMY! Molly stepped on the tube of toothpaste and it squirted in my hair!" "MOM! I superglued my finger to my homework!'' "MOM! YOU SHRUNK MY JEANS IN THE DRYER!" "Those are the baby's jeans, dear!" "Ohhhhhh!" silence then "MOM? What is that burning smell? SOMETHING IS ON FIRE IN THE OVEN!" OK, it isn't that bad, but the fire department did come, once. I put the oven on the 999-degree-clean mode one Monday & did not know that SOMEONE left their pancakes in there on Sunday. Yes, they did explode! Black smoke filled the house but the blaze was out by the time the fire department came. By then the pancakes looked like a smoldering stack of shriveled black steaks. "Lady," they advised, "maybe it is a mistake to put the oven on so high when you bake!"
