Welcome to my mess

Hi all.

I kinda feel like I'm launching on of those space probes, sending out a message in hopes that one day it will be received.

I have so much I want to talk about, from parenting to politics.

We have so much discuss.

I have an ex-husband who lives next door and a crazy set of former in-laws that both irritate and inspire me. Co-parenting and redefining family are going to be one of biggest topics covered.

I've spent years playing kids who need a little extra help. Autism is an epidemic and it needs to be faced head on. That being said, Children with Autism have soo much potential and so much to offer and I hope to let you in a little on the life of some of the kids I know.

I am a supporter and volunteer for the Barack Obama Campaign in St. Louis. I'm the office manager for the Youth Movement. I'm sure I'll have lots to tell you about that.

I'm an MSNBC addict. I am a Rachel Maddow fan and excitedly await the first episode of her new show starting 9-9-08 at 9pm Eastern Time. I also think that Chuck Todd is the smartest man on television. I'm sure I'll be saying 'we'll Chuck Todd says' a lot when I'm talking politics. He is the next Tim Russert

For the record, I'm a catholic, pro-life democrat. I don't want Roe v Wade overturned though.. it's a long story. I believe in gay rights and I will fight any discrimination against anyone of any race or religion.

I hope you will put up with my bad grammer, my smart mouth, and my horrible horrible inability to spell anything.

Anyway that’s me.

More soon
Lori...
