Hey ... I'm Michele Mathews, half of The Morning Bull Pen. I'm a working mother of four kids trying to juggle everyday life without dropping any balls along the way. I'm born and raised in the Yakima Valley dirt. I started out in radio at the age of 15 at the Yakima Valley Skills Center. I've moved around the dial to various radio stations and took a few years off to raise babies before finding my home on The Bull. My one vice is drinking a mint mocha every morning. I LOVE (obsessed with) Alexandar Skarsgard, Sam Hunt and Tim McGraw. Follow me on Twitter @michelecomedy, Instagram @michelemathewscomedy and Snapchat @michelem929. Remember that I love you!

Was That a Tornado in Gleed? [VIDEO]
Did you catch the mini-twister or tornado that blew through Gleed Thursday afternoon? I was upstairs in my bedroom when I heard the wind start to pick up. I started to hear the howl of the wind. That got my attention, but I just thought due to the rain we had on and off through the day that it was just a passing storm. But then the wind got worse and the house started to shake and make a horrible
Couples Court: Is It Cheating to Confide in Your ‘Work Spouse?’
If you put in long hours with your coworkers every day, you can end up feeling almost as close to them as your family. After all, you're probably spending more time with them than your kids, your siblings, your parents ... or even your spouse.
