My Kith, Kin and Associates

THE HOUSEHOLD
Me - otherwise known as Bluebird
Wayne - my significant other.  we plan to get married in the near future, but haven't actually set a date yet.
Lorelei - my daughter, 7 years old.  Very intelligent.  Lives with her father during the week.
Anastasia (Ana) - my younger daughter.  3 years old.  Mine and Wayne's together.  Getting a bad attitude for one so young.
Kyle - My almost step son.  7 years old, only 11 days older than Lorelei.  He has cerebral palsy, ADD, and autism, who knows what all else, just not bad enough to really mess him up.
Tabitha - my almost step daughter.  6 years old.  We have these two on the weekends.
Sid - our snake we got on the new year.  Ball python, about 18 inches.
'Zilla, Lazano, Lady Liz  - The anoles (the Zard family)

Edgar & Allen - the guinea pigs (the Poe brothers)

THE OTHER FAMILY
Mom - my father's mother.  When we asked (when we were little) why she was called mom, the reason given was because that's what she was.
My mother - otherwise known as mommy, mummy, your mother dear. The reason I grew up thinking that red hair was the only way to go.
My father - otherwise known as daddy, yer dear ol' dad, daddums                                         
Gwen - my sister, looks like me.  I have grown up being called Gwen by the older folk at church (and sometime family members) who can no longer tell us apart.
Geof - Gwen's husband, gamer, computer guy, architect
