a wife, a mother, a female programmer, trying to make it all work

My technical bio reads something about being a programmer for Schipul, creators of the Tendenci software. I think it says that I'm a team leader and an experienced programmer. I've been a programmer at Schipul for 7 years or so and I manage the programming team so I guess that's about right.

My personal bio isn't much different. When I'm not working I'm spending time with friends and family. Or shopping. I have a shopping problem. Trying to quit. We're building a house so that's going to take away my shopping budget.

Recent newly wed even though James and I have been together for 4 years. We have three kids between us. Austin is my pride and joy. I will talk a lot about him on this blog. Now that Nathan and Keagan are my step children, I'm adapting to having 3 kids instead of one. I'll learn to include them more.

Here are a few quotes that I like:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
