1. How are you feeling right now?

Pretty good. Glad the high heat and humidity is backing off but not excited about winter coming.

2. If you could go back to one part of your kid’s life and enjoy it all over again…what would it be?

Hearing their first giggles and words.

3. Was it difficult trying to get pregnant?

The first time, yes. Needed fertility treatment.

4. Do your kids do chores? If so, what?

My oldest daughter will help with chores and if she does it without me needing to ask, I may give her some of my spare change. The other two aren’t that productive yet.

5. What’s one “mom chore” you would forever outsource if you could?

Cooking. I absolutely do not like it, especially right now when my kids’ taste buds change daily.

6. Do you have any picky eaters? How do you deal with it?

Yes and it’s constantly changing. On my crappy days, they eat what I make or don’t eat at all. On my good days, I may let them eat something else that they can just grab from the fridge.

7. Do you daydream about being a working mom? Not at all. As a single disabled parent, I don’t think I could deal with

the stresses of working a job and being with my kids all day.

8. If you could be instantly transported anywhere right now…where would you go?

To some island for some tranquility.

9. Are you content with how your life is now?

My life has been rocked to the core over the past 1 1/2 years from losing my husband. But to see how my kids are doing and knowing we have a stable home life, I’d say yes, I’m pretty content.

10. Anything you are looking forward to at the moment?

Kids going back to school.
