An introduction to our new blog!

I would like to take the time to introduce us both. I am Karen, the mother. I am 42 years old, and I am currently living and going to school in Chicago. It has been 21 years since I last stepped into a school room, so it is pretty intimidating. To top it all off, I am seperated, and living away from my three beautiful babies! Who are not really babies at all. Jessica is 20, Nick is 17, and Sophia is 16. Sophia and I have both been writing a lot to kind of cope with the situation we are in, and all the obstacles that presents. There is at times, a lot of emotion, confusion, and ups and downs. We figured the best way to get through it was to just write about it....so here goes nothing! Sophia is 16, and a sophomore in highschool. She is a beautiful writer, dancer, and human being. She is strong willed, tenacious, and beautiful. Enjoy!
