I am feisty, stubborn, and vibrant.

My Self-Summary

I'm 25 and live in far too conservative Northwest Indiana, about an hour from Chicago.

I'm a motivated person and know what I want from life.

My husband Lord_Syruss and I are have been together 8 years, married for four, and arepolyamorous, meaning we believe that you can love more than one person. We have always dated other people in some form. Sometimes we date the same people, sometimes we don't.

What I’m doing with my life

My main role is as a mom, as well as a small business owner. I'm a bit of a workaholic, but am a person who figures out their dreams and goals and makes it happen. I've gone from babysitting one or two kids to opening a childcare facility in its own building in less than 3 years. I also go to school taking online classes to get my degree in Early Childhood. I have one biological daughter who is five, and am in the process of adopting 4 other children ages 6 to 12.

I go to school part-time and will finally be finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education this semester.

I don't have much of that thing called free time. I am a bulletin board addict, and love to read as well. Currently my fascinations are with decluttering and simplifying my life, and with homeschooling, particularly the unschooling philosophy. I'm also looking into the Sudbury/democratic type schools and dream of starting one one day.
I run a daycare which keeps me incredibly busy.

I started a bucket list recently and am starting to tackle the 78 (so far) things on it. Everything from getting a tattoo to living in a foreign country for 6 months to writing a book. I'd love to make friends who would enjoy things like traveling around the country in a veggie oil powered bus, or living off the grid.

I’m really good at

Telling stories and making people laugh. Everyone at my old job thought I was nuts, but I kept the crew happily entertained.

I'm good at getting the job done. I know what I want out of life and work hard to get it.

I'm good at getting my way.

The first things people usually notice about me

Sometimes I bite new people.

One of my daycare parents said that she thought my husband and I were hippie flower children when she came to interview here. She still put her kids in, so I suppose that was a good thing.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

LOTR- any of them, Serendipity, Titanic, Armageddon, Serenity, Love Actually, Crash.

I like romantic comedies best but mostly get dragged into geeky scifi movies, shit like that, which are cool too.

TV-wise- my must-sees are Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, and Castle. Everything else I don't get to see til it is out on dvd- Weeds, Big Love, Californication, Battlestar Galactica, and various others.

Oh yes, and I love Friends... I have up through like season 7 burned on cd, and a bunch of the others on my computer. Also went thru an Xmen loving phase and have a bunch of episodes of that on cd as well. Hmm, what else, i love Will and Grace, Everybody Love Raymond.... the good sitcoms, not the cheesy shit.... I do miss TV sometimes.

I love reading but with school I haven't read much that's not a textbook recently. When I do, it's usually things relating to adoption, raising children, or daycare with some fiction mixed in when I can. I hate George r. r. martin for STILL not releasing Dance of Dragons... I love Heinlein, read some Jodi Piccoult, and whatever else I happen across. I'm a huge thrift store addict and garagesaler, so I end up with unique gems from that hobby a lot.

When it comes to music I listen to pretty much anything.

The six things I could never do without

1. My immediate family- My husband Brett is so good to me when I'm such a pain in the neck,and my daughter is my life. I've been a foster parent for over 2 years and have had 23 children come through my home. It is both the hardest and the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

2. My independence- I can't stand being told what to do...I never want to be in a situation where someone is in charge of me (except maybe sexually) again

3. My friends and extended family...as I said I talk way too much, and I'm very unhappy if there's noone to talk to.

4. The internet and my Droid. I'm far too attached to it.

5. Sleep. I'm not one of those people that can get 2 hours sleep and function.... I need 7-9 hours. my job is too stressful for less.

6. Books. I have to have something to read.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I wonder if there are other people like me in the world.. I'm starting to believe there aren't really. I'm bisexual and polyamorous, but I run a daycare and have a lifeplan that includes adopting a passel of kids and starting a school. It's like there are two separate sides of my life that I wish could collide.

I want to simplify my life, to live better for our family and the environment.

I want to live in community with other people. The way we all live our separate lives in suburbia just doesn't make sense to me.

I recently joined a Unitarian Universalist church and am working on discovering what my religious beliefs actually are. I've felt more accepted there than I have most other places I've been in my life.

On a typical Friday night I am

Usually my husband and I switch off on who gets to go out. I used to go to the Hookah lounge more but I got one for my birthday, so invite friends over for that instead. Saturday nights I go to Rocky some of the time, or out with friends, varies from week to week. I'm just as happy having a movie night at a friend's house as I would be out at a bar, I don't mind drinking, but never got into the bar scene much.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I fall too hard, too fast when it comes to love.

You should message me if

I am looking primarily for interesting people for friendship or hopefully more with one or both of us. I'm also interested in meeting another M/F or F/F couple with whom my SO and I are both compatible with for friendship at least, possibly more.

I'm preferably looking for a longterm relationship. People who aren't afraid of the family thing and like the idea of living together in community with other likeminded people. People who aren't afraid of the fact that I have a very big family.

If you're new to the poly thing, please don't try it out on my husband and I. Figure out if it is what you really want, figure out your rules and boundaries. But know that polyamory is not a way to fix a bad relationship, so don't use us for your poly experiment. I'm also rather leery of just dating one person who is already part of a couple, that hasn't worked out well in the past. The other person always seems to get jealous. I won't rule it out completely, but going into things with eyes wide open and major communication among all parties is mandatory.
