Bettyc

I am a soon-to-be 49 year old woman. Until recently, I worked as a medical secretary. I am now a stay-at-home mom and absolutely loving it for the moment. I have two children, though only one lives with me. My son is seven and in the second grade. My daughter is thirty and is married with four children of her own. I've had lots of ups and downs in my life and I find writing to be great therapy for me. My husband is my best friend and I'm pretty happy these days. That's me in nutshell.
