Hi,

I'm Crick and I'm an aparent. I have 3 boys & 1 daughter ages 8 9 11 & 12. I'm addicted to forums, chocolate and pranks. With 4 upcoming teenagers, I will be addicted heavily to wine. I have a sense of humor that gets me in trouble at times. I make fun of my life with adoption sometimes. That also gets me in trouble. In my spare time I like to read, play piano and stalk people in Target wearing a red shirt, khakis and ask them if they found everything okay.

Your turn....

Hi. I'm lovemy2boys and I'm a Twilight-aholic...er...um...I mean an aparent.

I have two boys, ages 5 1/2 and 7 1/2, and therefore, my days are spent flittering said boys to school, basketball, baseball, t-ball...you get the picture.

I have a sharp tongue and often have to depend on my (what I call) crick-conscience to keep me in line. I love sarcastic humor. I love laughing.

I volunteer extensively for my kid's school, and find it quite fulfilling.

Give me a fruity drink (alcohol, please) plus a good book and park me in front of the ocean with my kids playing in the sand and that's my idea of heaven. OH - and DH can come as well (someone needs to watch the kids while I'm lost in a world of Vampires and Werewolves...)

Hi, I'm Thanksgivingmom, but most everyone just calls me TG (even once they know my real name).

I have a daughter, Cupcake, that I placed for adoption November 2006.

I like reading, watching trainwreck TV, and spending mass amounts of time with my incredibly large family (as in number of family members, not size of those family members).

And since I live about three blocks from the beach, used to be a bartender, and have all the Twilight books, I'm pretty sure that I could be lovemy's best friend (or at least her dream vacation! haha)

Hi, I'm quantum and I'm trying to be known as just Q.

I have a son who I relinquished in 1985, I came here in 2005 or 2006 and found him in 2007 and am in as sucessful a reunion you can have being more than 4000 miles apart.

I'm American by birth but have spent the better part of the past 12 years living in England and Sweden.

I only live 2 blocks from the beach (and I'm fighting for anyone's friendship :-P)

I like reading, watching TV as well, and I am addicted to quilting and regular Coke (the fizzy, drinkable kind NOT any other kind!). I'm also raising my two daughters 6 and 4. Help.

[sstuart]

Hi I am Stacy. I am a birthmom to a DD who is 23. I reunited with her about a year ago and it is going quite well.
I also am raising 2 boys 11 and 5. They look identical--but have personalities at opposite extremes. They keep me busy.
I would love a good non fiction Ann rule book with a cold beer by the beach. I am also sarcastic and a little cynical.
I want to come to the beach vacation!!

[crick]

I vote for Q's beach...she has the coke after all. I'm an amom see, so we only do our kids' ritalin. I'm always up for new things though.

See...I'm in trouble now.

[thanksgivingmom]

FINE - go see Q....I'll just stay nice and lonely over here in SoCal.....no worries.

[crick]

You'll have your new BFF Love!! So sensitive! LOL!

[lovemy2boys]

Ladies, ladies! There's plenty of time! We can go on the "a.com beach tour".

In fact, if you are interested in seeing the Detroit river, you can hop on over this way!

I say we pop over to So-Cal first - that way TG's large family can watch all of our kiddies while we spend the day reading and drinking...

Or wait...Crick - what better way to teach a 12 year old responsibility than to saddle them with a gaggle of young children!

Then we'll pop over to Q's house (see? Your new name is catching on...) for some good oldfashioned Swedish TV and coke!

[crick]

Good to know you don't listen too hard to the "crick conscience"! As you see...I have none. LOL!

Grand idea! The A.com Beach Tour!!!

Can you picture us all going around town and seeing people's reactions to our conversations? OMG! I'd love it!

[BrandyHagz]

Listen...you....you....crazy people. Simmer down!

No one is going to the beach - not when I have walls that need painting.

Got it?!

[thanksgivingmom]

We'd certainly make quite a splash! (And I didn't intend for that to be a lame beach pun either )

And I'm okay now - I was hurt at first, but I'm happy to go see Q too

Sigh...soo slow to catch on. Did you MISS the part where I said there were a gaggle of children?!?

They will be HAPPY to paint your walls.

[crick]

Oh I'm sorry...no painting or otherwise til we get your introduction. We screen here you know...

[BrandyHagz]

Walls painted by children would be an improvement over their current state.

I will take it.

What time can I expect you?
