About Me

My photo
XLMIC
Growing up an only child didn't prepare me for being stepmother to 6 and mom to 4! Only the youngest four live at home now...Big G (15), Baby X (12), Q-Man (9) and Miss C (5). The 6 stepchildren range in age from 23 up to 35 and are out on their own, carving out pretty amazing lives for themselves. Returning to running to help regain some balance... Our hands are full... but better full than empty!
