about jabrn

I am a Registered Nurse, wife, mother of one beautiful daughter (6 years old going on 17, a good friend stated when I had my daughter that the hours and the days drag on, but the months and the years fly by - how true!) three dogs (all beautiful mutts) and an old cat.

My husband and I have the complete role reversal. I work and he is a stay at home dad! He definitely runs the day to day of the house better than I ever dreamed... My life is full and hectic like everyone else's. I enjoy reading, baking and spending time with my family. I am a native of Williamsburg, Va. My husband is a Tarheel (class of 94) born and bred and he has fully converted me to a Tarheel fan (at least in basketball)! I do enjoy watching most sports although NFL (really any football) is what I like the most. I am a Chicago Bears and Michigan Wolverine fan (midwestern parents).

I would say that I was a pretty liberal person, except now that I have had the displeasure of working with an entitlement program, some of my liberal leanings have changed direction.

Above all I consider myself very open-minded. I just really want to know, why can't everyone have just a little more common sense?

“Common sense is not so common.”- Francois Voltaire

“I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” - Rita Rudner

“Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” - Roger Lewin

“Children need models more than they need critics.” - Joseph Joubert

“We'd all vote for the best man, but he's never a candidate.” - Will Rogers

“The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.” - Andy Rooney

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” & “Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won’t buy the wag of his tail.” -Josh Billings

Hello my wonderful friend! I have been so busy lately with my crazy life. One day I hope to be back a little more! I don't want you to think I have forgotten you! ! ! I hope you are doing well! Take care.

Just dropping in to say HI! ((HUGS))

Hey girl have not saw you around latly hope that your ok, have a great weekend!

I was hoping you would see the bassett, and get a kick out of it like I did.

My cuz. is out of high school for the summer so she always comes and stays with us to get out of the hick town she lives in so shes been helping out and her and my 2 year old were up watching tv till midnight last night. I was sleeping good so thank god for my cuz lol. Oh and Thank god for noggin going 24-7 now lol.

Just making the rounds in my groups - I will be away for a bit. My new job has me training in Kentucky for a month, so I will try to check in every so often, but not as much as usual. Everyone take care!

Hey jabrn... come back as often as you have time for! We can't afford to lose to many "reasonable" folks, or the loonies will take over! *grin* Good luck in Kentucky!

wishing you a safe trip! :-)

Yeah we recorded it to but its not the same so I told him that I would watch it later and I went to sleep!
