I am a 49 yr. (young) divorced mother of 3. 1 girl and 2 boys. They are 29, 21, and 19. At the writing of this, I had all 3 of my children, but my 21 yr. old son, Jarrod, was murdered on March 8th, 2007. I miss him and the grief is sometimes unbearable. Finally, the person who murdered my son confessed, but he only got 3 yrs. in a Juvenile Facility, and he could be out in 2 yrs. with good behavior. I am glad to know who did it, but it won't bring my son back. Maybe someday I will have some closure, but it's just to soon to forgive.
..I have 2 grandkids (boy and girl) who are my pride and joy! My kids, grandkids and all my other family are the most important things to me in the whole world. My kids all have a great sense of humor and each have their own distinct personalities and are just neat people. I learned (finally) to let my kids dress, pierce something, get tattoos, and listen to their own music. I mean, I wore bell bottoms with stuff embroidered on them and listened to music my Mom really didn't like. So this is the phase they are going through just like we did. I don't stare at anyone who has blue hair or piercings, or whatever; I just smile at them because you can't judge someone by the way they look. And a couple of weeks ago, at age 48...I got my first tattoo! So I SURE can't say anything about anyone with tattoo's! My daughter got us each one. It was a Mother/Daughter bonding thing. If someone would've told me a few years ago that I would be sitting in a tattoo chair, I would've laughed at them. I was a real, well I guess the only word that fits is "a prude". Not anymore though! I am going through my "first" childhood since I never got to when I was little. But that is one of my biggest "pet peeves"; people who make fun of other people because they are heavy or have a mental illness or are different in some way. Just because a person is heavy doesn't mean they hit the "All you can eat" buffet every day. It could be because of medication, or a medical problem. And we could be in a car accident or something and end up with a brain injury and look like the ones people make fun of. So I think you should not avoid these people, but give them a smile. It may be the only one they've had that day...or longer.
I live in Roswell, NM (yes, the home of the supposed alien crash site)I have never seen an alien except when we have the UFO festival!! It's a big event with music, food booths, and LOTS of weird UFO fanatics. But hey, it brings money into the city, so I guess it's a good thing!I have been divorced for 14 yrs.; currently have nobody special in my life. But who knows, maybe my Prince Charming will come riding up on a... Harley! Well, I can dream at least!
AIN'T NUTHIN' LIKE THE SOUND OF A HARLEY!
I worked for a Pathology lab; first as a courier (I picked up surgical specimens from the hospital and the doctors offices). Sounds sort of morbid, huh? But it was actually very interesting. I tell you, I've seen pretty much every body part that has been removed from a human! (But yet I almost pass out when I see someones stitches or a bad cut and stuff on someone!) Then I went to into Data Entry. The Pathologists I worked for were like family. And they didn't seem like doctors. They were hilarious and were always joking around. You could never be really serious with them; they wouldn't let you. I really liked working there and I miss it.
My Great-Great Grandmother was Cherokee, and she died on "The Trail Of Tears". I am very proud of my Indian heritage, and I taught my kids to be. My daughter's Dad was 1/2 Laguna Indian, so her Native American heritage comes from both sides of the family!

Well, I guess that's pretty much about me. I'm just a simple, uncomplicated person. I have an autoimmune disease that caused me to have to quit working, and I really hate that. But even though the disease gets me down every once in a while, it's not going to beat me!!! I won't give in to it or else it's won! Music is VERY much a part of my life. I believe it helps keep the mind young and alert. It's a part of my soul. I don't live an exciting life, but I am content and I guess that is what matters. I do miss having my son's and all their friends around the house. It was so much fun watching them and listening to them. Now the house is too quiet.
Don't be fooled by my page...even though it is psychedelic and has a lot of "hippie" stuff on it doesn't mean I embraced everything about that culture. I love the Lord with all my heart.
