Well, to make a long story short, my name is Melissa. I found YWS in November of 2007 and have been an "off and on" member ever since. I am now 21 years old, with 3 kiddos (all boys - two step kids, one biological), married, and still can't shake my need to write, so here I am again. I can't even remember where or how to start, but I'm wanting to try. My husband is going through back surgery on Thursday, school is out for the summer, and our 3 boys are young (ages 10 months, 6 years, and 7 years), so my stress level is quickly rising. For the time being, I am in school to become a certified medical assistant and x-ray technician while my hubby is the breadwinner. Once I graduate, the roles will reverse; he will go to school, and I will be the provider. Writing used to be a stress reliever and anxiety reliever for me so I am looking forward to starting again.

P.S. Some older users will probably remember me as "Monki." :-) Haha, the joys and memories of choosing usernames when you're 14.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
