so i am rochell...

I can't sleep. Ever. My brain won't shut up. I rarely think of ways to save the world - though I am great at coming up with  "If people would just listen me, I could fix..." ideas.
So today I was thinking that I should just write things down. My room got very messy with all of the papers thrown on the floor at night; this blog is the outgrowth of my insomnia.
During the day I am a mom to two adult children, a wife to one adult man, a teacher of English to 140 sophomores, a daughter, and a friend. Misplaced mermaid (how did I end up in Indiana and not literally any beach?),  frustrated Chicago Bears fan, world traveler - vicariously through my kids - baker, chocolate addict, coffee lover, beer adventurer.
At night I am a writer of random ramblings.
Here are some of them.
