About...

So... how do you go about writing your about page? My life at the moment feels so chaotic, I can't really make heads or tails of it most days and surprisingly, it's fine. I say surprisingly because I am one of those anal people who want everything to go as planned, when planned, according to plan and so on so forth. Well, so far, it has not; and like I said, I am fine with that.

My life started out in 1978 and was pretty boring I guess. I am the firstborn (and only) daughter in a family of 5. I have two younger brothers. One is a renowned Chef, the other, an Emo type death metal/jazz musician with artistic tendencies, prone to flights of fancy.

I had the most awesome dad in the entire world!! He was everything a dad should be; funny, smart, witty, a good cook, imaginative, sweet and on occasion, loud!
My mom, hmmm, let's just say she won't be winning any mother of the year awards... ever.
She married my dad on a whim (because he was super good looking) and divorced him 12 years later, again on a whim. He passed away in 2011 in my arms and she later told me she regretted ever divorcing him... but not because she loved him. Whatever mom!

I on the other hand, am a mid-thirties mom of twins, recently divorced and deep in love with James, the good looking Korean guy I met online over a year ago.
I became a mom after battling infertility for three grueling years. Then I had a horrible pregnancy where I was continuously abused by my now ex, husband. My twins were premature and one of the suffered brain damage and nobody in this world can tell me if it was the result of the abuse I received while pregnant with them.

My sons, almost 8 now, are my whole world; a spot they now share with the aforementioned Korean guy :) They are awesome kids and everything I could ever wish for. Handsome, witty, super smart and sometimes very naughty and loud! Can't believe they will be 3rd graders this September!
Our daily life is interesting to say the least. John was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Asperger's Syndrome (autism) at the age of 2 and 5 respectively. He also has SID and ADHD.
Cody had a severe speech impediment which at the age of 8 has completely overcome and ADHD which has been managed very well so far. I do not medicate (and never will).

We share our home and hearts with Beau Hugs, the Blue Siamese and Sophie, the mutant alley cat.
We hope to add more of those little kidlet thingies to our brood and both James and I are looking very forward to that day. Until then though, we enjoy the warm summer days in sunny Greece and secretly will time to move along faster so that schools can start (just kidding).

Hope you stick around for a while!
Lizzie
