Hello!
My name is Melissa. I'm 38 years old (ugh). I'm a single mom to three, two boys and a girl. We live in Indiana (was born and raised here). I work full-time outside the home and have been with my employer for 16 years now. This year I finished my degree and now have a bachelor's in business management. Hoping to put it to use one day.
My hobbies are digital scrapbooking and some traditional. It's actually been a while since I've done the traditional. It's so messy and time consuming. Love to read and I always have a my nose in a book. Of course I love music and movies as well.
A little about my kiddos. My oldest son Jimmy is 14, he is my quiet child, kind of an intro-vert I guess you could say. He pretty much keeps to himself, and he's shy but a good kid. Jimmy is wonderful at helping me around the house. He helps me at dinner and with cleaning around the house. He was diagnosed with ADD when he was in 2nd grade. Hard to believe he will be going to high school next year. That makes me so sad.
My daughter Sierra is 11, she is very sweet, kind, thoughtful and a loving child. She is very shy and it takes her a while to warm up to people. She is always drawing me pictures or writing me sweet notes. Sierra loves to read. She is great at helping her little brother with his homework when he needs help. She doesn't care much for chores around the house, but she does help.
My youngest son Johnathan is 7 and he is my wild child. Let me just say he is all boy! Honestly his energy wears me out. He is a sweet, loving, caring and thoughtful child. Yet, he can be a demanding child. Last year he was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Johnathan is a very outgoing child. He can walk into a room and instantly make new friends.
Being a single mom has it's challenges at times, but in the end, it's worth it.
So, this my family. I'm happy to be here.....thanks Valarie! Looking forward to hanging out and making new friends.
