I'm a thirty-something supreme queen overlord, at least, that's what I tell my husband Jason when he gets out of line.

I worry about him constantly!

Both kids keep me running nonstop from dance lessons to martial arts, at least, before COVID hit. These days I try to avoid pulling my hair out most of the day attempting to entertain them while constantly shooing our adopted (how-in-the-hell-did-we-inherit-this-cat?) and giant furball, Max, from the kitchen table.
