The road is getting harder for me! my daughter will turn 8 in feb. 2009 we have no real family, and because this desert is full of fakes...no real friends. I am a musician and a New Yorker, so not exactly the most easy person to deal with sometimes. I am not a conventional thinker in any way, shape or form! so if you watch Lifetime channel and think thats real life...think again! I have a sarcastic yet witty sense of humor and a genuine New York accent, and can sometimes be percieved as harsh, when actually, I am a softy with a big mouth, most californians just don't get it! wake up! life is not a fast car and a surfboard! I am not gonna lie, cause I am brutally honest, I need help being a parent! however my italian mom raised me to be a strong yet nurturing, loving caregiver. Right now I am in transistion of a faled relationship, so friendship to start.
