Badgoat I am a SHE!

Anywho....who I am!
Born in Cleveland Ohio on March 2nd, 1972!
I had open heart surgery at the age of 6 and was raised almost all of my life by my grandparents. Grandfather was a construction worker and granny was a housewife. I lived a portion of my life in Pennsylvania with them and then became a teen and decided I'd give my father the opportunity to actually be a father. I went to Cleveland and lived with him and his new wife. Completed high school at James Ford Rhoades, where I had many issues that caused me to quit in my junior year, but I fought the principle and was determined I had a right to graduate and went back the following year and did graduate! go ME!
My parents divorced when I was young, both parents have some form of addiction, mothers is alcohol still to this day and fathers is drugs. I was addicted for quite sometime to cocaine. I have now been sober for almost 7 years!
I am a Program Director at an agency that provides supports to the Mentally Retarded/Developmentally Disabled. I supervise the staff that work in the consumers homes. I assist with team meetings and making sure that the individuals that we support get 100% quality care! I love my job!
I began playing AC in 1999 and it was my first MMORPG, I still play on occasions and am actually a Monarch in AC. I love the friends that I have made here on the VN Boards and in AC.
I love mornings because as a mother of 4 and working an extremely high stress job it is the
ONLY time that I find that I have a few minutes to myself! I enjoy waking up and having my coffee, posting cheesy good mornings here and bringing smiles to others faces!
I think that's it

It is not the kiss of the whip, but the whispered word...
To please one's flesh lasts but a moment;
to touch one's soul lasts a lifetime....
