About

I'm Leslie. Wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, lover of penguins, musician, nurse, writer, idea rat, wannabe photog and a leading player in the Short Attention Span Theater that is our home.

I'm slightly crazy, which really means I live in a house full of teenagers. We, apparently, are not content unless there is some sort of bedlam occurring somewhere in the house. Some of the this is due to the adult units of the household, but you'll never get me to admit that in a court of law. One of the reasons I had children was to have people to blame things on.

I am married to Jim, my best friend and fellow geek. He's a good guy and has an encyclopedic knowledge of more programming languages than I have gray hair. (That's a lot, btw.) He's funny and sweet and reminds me too much of my father, which often frightens me (but in a good way).

5 kids. 5. Two were wedding gifts, three were my wombfruit. All are mine. Each of them can lay claim to at least a few gray hairs on my head. I hope they claim them soon.

I work as a geriatrics nurse, sing in (and am obsessed by) a Sweet Adelines chorus/quartet, and have decided to take up photography and blogging. Um, mania, party of one!

Come join me.
