the girl on black cat hill

I am a married mother of 4 boys....actually, 3 are men (technically)...ages 15, 19, 21, and 22.  I love them so much....words cannot explain. I am married to my high school sweetheart.  We reconnected after 25 years. He is the love of my life.  I had really bad experiences with marriage prior to this one.  This one will last.  I will not get another divorce.  No way.  I also have a stepson and stepdaughter.  They are 17 and 14 respectively.  I love them a lot too --- I really love to spend time with them when I get a chance.  I work nights (8pm to 4:30 am) so I don't get much time with anyone in the family.

I live in the Indiana countryside.  We have a malamute named Mika, an indoor cat named Ody (he is a "pixiebob") and 3 black feral cats who live outside.  I feed them every day...and one of them will let me pet him and even pick him up!  It's a slow process getting them to trust humans.

I have wonderful parents who live just 15 minutes away.  They are so giving and so kind.  I am very, very blessed to have them in my life.  Also, my mother-in-law lives about a mile away.  She is a good one...more like a friend than an "in-law".
