It occurs to me, that I hav'nt properly introduced my self to you great people. I have read many of your post, and realized, that you all are really freinds to, and Id like to be apart of that. Im not a great writer, but I do love putting my opinion out there, and sharing my funny stories with everyone. Im sure they wont all be the best reading, but some of it will. There will be ups and downs, as with many of you. So, here goes. Im over 40, not that it matters here. Even though I have grown children, and grandchildren, I still have 2 little ones at home. (I remarried 15 years ago). Im overly tired alot, what with dealing with a teen and pre teen at my age, but it also keeps me young at heart, and very fit for my age. after 7 children, I still weigh 110, and Im stronger that most women 1/2 my age. Not that Im bragging or anything...My 2 kids are boys, I have to rascle and be able to play rough. Man that hurts. The aches and pains I have to keep under wraps. But my life is fun. I love the way things have turned out for me. Its harder on my husband. he's 47. He's worn out from all his years of costuction, so he's not as active as I. My 2 oldest daughters are in the army. One went to Iraq with the very 1st soldiers that were deployed. The other is still in traing to be an emt, and then a nurse. They are both well. The 1 that went to Iraq is the one with a son, and 1 on the way. The other 3 in the middle are in and out between theire father and I, and are more "on theire own" than not. I hope I hav"nt bored you poor people to death. This is only some of what I have to share. I promise to post lots of interesting stuff in the future. Many thanks to the readers of what little I have posted, and your comments. Hugs to you all.
