 new people  . i guess i should say something about me. i will be 40 next week. i have 3 kids, a 16 year old girl, a 13 year old boy, and a 7 year old girl. i was born and lived most of my life in northern calif, a little town called ukiah. my husband lost his job (logging industry) and found one down here in central calif, so we moved. we lived in a tiny town near the coast but moved to bakersfield a few months ago. i have usually worked at my kids school but am unemployed floyd right now and i am really starting to enjoy it. my husband works offshore and is gone for 7 days at a time and with the kids in school i am starting to get to know myself again. as with everyone in here i have had my fair share of tragedy but i seem to be in a good place right now and i intend to fully enjoy it. i would love to be skinny again and wish i would have enjoyed my youth and beauty a little bit more but i guess 40 won't be that bad. i am trying to break the cycle that i came from with my kids and i think i may be succeeding. my 16 year old is not having sex or taking drugs and seems to like me so i guess all is well. you never know with teenagers i guess. at least if they are still like i was.  but she is very gifted musically and i hope she sticks with that. my son is such a good kid, overachiever and has never given us a moment of trouble. i don't know where he came from. i see great things for him. my little one is a gift from God. i truly believe He sent her to me to replace the hole in my heart after my mom died. she is like her in so many ways. and she says that when she grows up she will buy us a farm and her and i will ride horses all day long. how can things be any better than that? as you can tell my kids are everything to me, they have given me the family that i never had. my mom was an angel but due to one awful person was never able to be the parent that i needed. i truly wish that she could still be here with me as an adult so i could take care of her and show her the life that she could have had. my husband and i have ups and downs but we seem to be able to stay married. we both came from broken homes and have vowed to never do that to our kids. we like each other so i guess that helps. while i wish that he was able to be a little more, i don't know, romantic? attentive? i am thankful that he is a good provider and a good man. very kind and decent. well that's me. not very exciting but who knows what's in store for all of us eh? peace |
