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!

New Version of ‘Dirty Dancing’ Proves Remakes Rarely Work
I recently caught the previews for ABC's remake of Dirty Dancing while watching TV. Inside I cringed. Not because of the movie Dirty Dancing, but whenever I hear the world "remake."
Could You Root for Colin Kaepernick as a Seahawk?
He's practicing with the Seahawks! Free agent Colin Kaepernick, along with Robert Griffin III, are rumored to be working out with the Seahawks today, seeking a reserve quarterback spot.
As a Seahawk fan I'm not really sure how I feel about the possibility of Colin becoming a Seahawk. It's not his playing that I have an issue with, it's his attitude and disrespect.

Out of 100 women, guess who took the title of Maxim magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive for 2017?
Volunteering As a Family Lets Us Help Our Favorite Causes Without Breaking Our Budget
My family and I have decided that it's time to take action! We have collectively decided that each quarter we are going to volunteer.
Our first family volunteer outing was for Northwest Harvest. Our shift was Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We packed food bags for schoolkids. Jackson, 12, and Shaylee, 11, had a great time! They are already asking when we are going back.
Can We Get A Brothers Osbourne Retweet? Hell Yeah!
It's been a while since I've tweeted my favorite country duo, Brothers Osborne, but that's probably because last time I tweeted them I got no response. Not even a retweet.
This morning as we were playing the new tune from BO "It Ain't My Fault" I snapped a pic of the song playing in our system and tweeted them.
And then I waited and waited ...
Tattoo That Plays Audio Could Be a Reason to Get Some Ink
I remember growing up, how my grandma disliked tattoos. I'm not sure if that subliminally stuck with me, but I've never had a tat. I'm by no means against them. I just personally haven't wanted to get one.
Until maybe now ...
Couples Court: She’s Our Son’s Mom, Not Mine — Why Should I Buy Her a Mother’s Day Present?
It's surprising how quickly the tenderness of an occasion like Mother's Day can turn raw when someone touches a nerve.
Such was the case in at least one local household earlier this week, when some first-time parents hit a disagreement over the responsibilities of their new roles.
This Mother’s Day Card Tells It Like It Is
This year Jackson, 12, and Shaylee, 11, gave me a Mother's Day card that has blanks where they could fill in personal messages.
Shaylee is the red ink and Jackson is the blue. Check out Jackson's answers ... I don't know where the kid gets his sense of humor. LOL!
Do Men Listen to Their Intuition, At Least? (Rik Doesn’t)
As Rik looked over to see his riding lawn mower sitting uncovered with the tarp lying next to it, he thought to himself, "I should probably cover up the lawn mower."
Do you think he covered it up? Nope. And do you think it rained. Yes.
He said that he should have listened to his intuition -- or as I call it, his "spidey sense."
Because I Said So! Are You Saying the Same Things Your Mom Used to Say?
There are times I find myself saying "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" It's usually when my kids are asking, "why?" over and over and over!
Marshmallow the Cat Cannot Get Enough of Playing With Gaston the Sugar Glider [VIDEO]
Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, so every morning when I'm eating my breakfast before leaving for work I get a little entertainment from our sugar gliders and the cat.
Marshmallow used to bother me while I was eating my breakfast for our alone time. Now, she has something more fun to do.
