I am an in-home daycare provider who cares for 10 children 6 days a week. I have been married for almost 25 years (Sept.). I have 2 adult children and one grandchild. Maybe I shouldn't admit this here, but Accountable is my first cousin. :p I grew up in Texas, but have lived in Wisconsin for 19 1/2 years. My son is a Marine reservist, so I am praying that deployment is not in our future, but knowing in my heart of hearts that it is. OOOORAH!!! My hobbies include kids, animals, kids, animals, ... I hate Wisconsin winters and look forward to retiring further south where no one season lasts more than 3 months.

Welcome to the garden. 10 kids in your daycare? Wow. A co-workers wife does that..she just has 4 right now, but hopes to get more soon.
Not to worry, we like Accountable here...so any cousin of our Acc is a friend of ours..jut don't mention I said that.

Wow!! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
Apparently I need to share some of the secrets that I have on Acc, huh?! :yh_devil (I can't wait for him to see this!)
I don't have all 10 kids at once. When the early ones go home, others come to fill the spot. I am open 16 hrs. a day, Mon-Sat.
Sorry, but not a cheesehead! Grew up in TX, so, Cowboys fan! My true "passion" sport is baseball. Go Astros!!!!!!!!! I am in Prairie du Chien.

I am about an hour south of La Crosse and an hour north of Dubuque, right on the Mississippi River. We are the second oldest town in Wisconsin (whoopie-doo).
I am glad that you are not a cheesehead! I thought that I was gonna get the old "traitor" bit, AGAIN!

Its nice down there. When I drive through Wisconsin and the bluffy areas Im always struck with a vision of Native Americans on horses.
And I seem to recall Menomonie being a shithole.

I am the B--ch..
The other day - I have the cell phone in one hand chatting with my Sis in Seattle,I come out the back door - this old ****, about to climb the fence whats his ball out of the pool.. So the ball is in my pool - I say its mine..
With the cell phone in one hand I use the skimmer net with the other hand and scoop the ball out of the pool for this cheap ****.
All the time I'm chatting with Sis - it was a play by play
Sis I have this golf pro hanging over my fence - I've done this before(scooping the ball from pool) due to all the pros golfing.!!
With one hand I scoop the ball and extend it to the cheap pro.
Old shits are looking for a Purse or a Nurse - I'm not volunteering for either..

I just want to point out that our family has a rare genetic disease that only affects the females. Turns them into pathological familial fibbers. You can believe anything they say except when discussing first cousins. :-3

Thanks! I figured that it was better than "Accountable's secret keeping cousin" or "that dumb broad".
