I subsist on caffeine and five hours of sleep.
I am nearly a decade into a second marriage.
I tend to both a teen girl and a toddler girl.

I am a recovering workaholic, OCD perfectionist.
I worked for 18 years in the newspaper business as a writer and copy editor. Try as I may, I cannot wash the ink from my hands.
I trying to find my way in the world as a stay-at-home mother.
