About redlegmeg
Dawn (redlegmeg) has been married to her Army husband for 19 years and is currently surviving his third deployment. She is a stay-at-home mom to four red-heads who keep her busy, but not necessarily sane. When she's not busy running kids back and forth and then back and forth some more, she enjoys volunteering, socializing with grown-ups, watching mindless TV, and reading trashy tabloids. The Army hasn't made her a pessimist, just a realist. At least that's her story, and she's sticking to it!
