The MUM I'm always there!

About Me

I am 46 yrs old and married with two children. I have a Great son named, Dru who is attending Erie Community College City Campus in Buffalo, NY. He is a great bowler who I enjoy watching. He will graduate December 2007' from Erie and plans on persuing a career in Personal Training! He wants to become a Personal Trainer...which is would be SUPER at; since he works out & takes very good care of his body!!! My other sons name is Hunter! He is 6 yrs old and attends Boght Hills 1st Grade! I use to own & operate my own Preschool (Kids Cozy Kottage Preschool) for 12 yrs. I moved to Albany, NY to give my son Dru; a better education as well has a great chance to be seen in the bowling world; Which happened!!! I got in a car accident 11/15/00, Dru's first day of bowling try-outs (9th grade-Shaker High School) a man hit me from behind in my van; which changed my life drastically.....before the accident I was working for New England Nanny Service. I loved the families I worked for; they were all great! But since my accident I have had three major surgeries on both my shoulders to reconstruct them; which left me partically disabled; also just had my left thumb joint removed ( they slice up your arm & take a tendon to replace your joint in your thumb) {OUCH...} I also have major cervical spine issues; I have three hurniated discs in my neck & a pinched nerve!! Most doctors want to do surgery, which isn't anything I really want to attempt EVER; so I do Epidurals in my neck at C3 to C6 to control the pain....! I have to go through THREE more MAJOR SURGERIES in my life right now. I have to have my right thumb done also (like the left thumb). September 14, 2007 I have my right ankle surgery scheduled with Dr. DiPreta who planning ..ting the right side of my heel off & then shifting it over & putting a pin through my heel & then a pin through the left side of my ankle & then reattaching the ligaments on my right ankle {by borrowing a dead person's tissue & graphing it to my ligaments.....EVERY LONG RECOVERY....{a year of your life} have to do the same with left ankle down the road.... BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL MY RIGHT ANKLE SURGERY FOR NOW BECAUSE MY NECK IS SO OUT OF WACK...I WAS JUST HIT FROM BEHIND AGAIN AUGUST 1, 2007' by A YOUNG GUY GOING 55-60 MILES PER HR.... I have just had two NERVE BLOCKS done...which don't seem to be working...so my Neck Doctor wants to try...{RADIO FREQUENCY PROCEDURE} that is where they go in & burn the NERVES in your NECK....{OUCH....} BUT BEFORE I TRY THE RADIO FREQUENCY PROCEDURE...I AM GOING TO TRY PHYSICAL THERAPY & HOME TRACTION...TO SEE IF THAT MIGHT HELP FIRST.... I had a VERY BUSY summer with my son Dru home from COLLEGE! We went to alot of concerts & did alot together! Hunter played baseball & bowled! Dru subbed in a league for the summer with his friend Matt...he averaged 220...not too bad ...for not bowling around Albany since 2004'. Dru also tried out for the MENS FITNESS MODEL COMPETETION IN SARATOGA NEW YORK ON AUGUST 11, 2007' {Dru took 1st Place) SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO WORLDS IN { HOLLYWOOD, CA , NOVEMBER 15/16 2007"} So my life was VERY BUSY with my kids this summer has you can see... I also got to see my GIRLS {OLIVIA, MADISON, MAKAZINE & KENNEDY} alot of the summer! Olivia & I went to AMERICAN IDOL CONCERT @ THE TIMES UNION CENTER AUGUST 30, 2007' it was SuPeR....

My Interests

I really enjoy most of all out of my life watching my son Dru bowl! He is so talented and amazing. Most of his bowling abilities is something he has either learned on his own or from watching a Pro Bowler like, Parker Bohn, Walter Ray Williams, Joe Ciccone, Norm Duke, Pete Weber, Earl Anthony, Tony Reyes just to name a few. I love to watch the PBA Tour each week too. I really enjoy watching them in person BEST! I love to sit by a fire and have a glass of wine with candles lit all around, listening to some great music! I enjoy reading a good book and watching court tv and knowing all the things that are going on in the world today, which are very sad! I am just so thankful for having a GREAT family & being able to spend time with my children who I love both VERY MUCH...I really enjoyed going to alot of CONCERTS this summer. Dru & I went to CHRIS DAUGHRTY/STAINED/NICKLEBACK & then I went to PAT GREEN/DISNEYLAND/KENNY CHESNEY (which wasn't that bad) considering I'm not really a COUNTRY FAN.....then Dru & I went to LINKIN PARK which was BY FAR THE BEST CONCERT OF THE SUMMER....{11 BANDS WERE THERE} but LINKIN PARK WAS THE BEST... then I went to the AMERICAN IDOL CONCERT {with Olivia & Sonya} which was SuPeR...we had a great time & will go next year too!!!!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet other Moms with maybe some children Hunter's age (6yrs) and a good friend out there in the world you can count on when you need them! A great friendship is very hard to find in this world! I have a handful of friends I know I can count on and I thank God for them. But love meeting new people and making great friends. I really enjoy seeing the PBA Bowlers every year and I do keep in touch with a few of them. I really enjoy traveling to see the PBA Bowlers (that is something Dru & I have done together since he was like 7 yrs old (but now he is very busy in college & working on his career. So very proud of him for following his dreams and NEVER giving up... He is a WARRIOR....HAS HIS PERSONAL TRAINER CAROLE WOULD SAY TO HIM ALL SUMMER WHEN SHE WAS WORKING WITH HIM TO GET HIM READY FOR HIS COMPETETION AUGUST 11, 2007'...which he took 1ST PLACE.....

I love Yellowcard, Linkin Park, American Hi-Fi, Backstreet Boys, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Bowling for Soup, 3 Doors Down, Kelly Clarkson, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Simple Plan, Faith Hill, Avril Lavigne, Diana DeGarmo, R.E.M., Gloria Estefan, Paula Abdul, Foreigner, Celine Dion, boyz II Men, Rod Stewart, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, Pebbles, Lifehouse, Carrie Underwood, Nickleback, Stained, Chris Daughtry Phil Stacey, & Blink-182.................that's just a few of my artists I love. My Ipod is full of songs that Dru has found for me or made me listen to. Dru has great taste in most of his music (for a 20 yr old). Dru & I are going to go & see Breaking Benjamin/Three Days Grace in October 2007' in Utica, NY......so cool....

Movies:

A few of my favorite movies that kinda mean something to my life are Ghost, Mrs. Doubtfire, E.T., Dirty Dancing, Most children Christmas movies, Finding Nemo, Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4, & Superman (my Dru is Superman), Smallville Series, Night at the Museum, Pretty Woman {any movie with Julia Roberts} Top Gun {or most movies with Tom Cruise - who I just adore - except in long hair} any movie that inspires me to do better in life...I'm a sucker for sad movies & romance...

Television:

I love watching Smallville Series. I have bought all (5) seasons for my son Dru, who reminds me alot like Clark Kent!! I watch it every night & think of my Dru (away at college) :( But I am so proud of him for going away & following his Dreams!!! I listen to Court TV alot & keep up with all the crazy shit going on in the real world (like our kids today killing their parents or their fellow students at school :( I also watch Lifetime & Football. My favorite thing to do is every Sunday @ 1:00 pm, I watch the PBA Tour (Bowling). I'm not really a HUGE TV watcher...feel life goes by so fast ; that you had better do what you can now, or you might not get the chance in life!!!!!

Books:

I was never a HUGE reader, but now have gotten into reading a few really good books like, Blood Brother; by Anne bird, Catherine Crier, Objection; by Nancy Grace, Michael Jackson - The Man Behind the Mask; by Bob Jones, True Story; by Michael Finkel, Lance Armstrong; It's Not About The bike - My Journey Back to Life.............just a few I have read....but pretty busy trying to find time to read with a 6yr old around.............and a son in College & now Dru is into MENS FITNESS MODELING....so I'm pretty busy putting his picture out there for some work for him to do.....

Heroes:

My hero in life would have to be Dru, my son! He is like Superman!!! He has Red Ford Ranger 2001 Truck with Superman flying on his hard cover of his truck & the{ S } on his doors & front hood!!!! He is following his dreams of getting a Two-Year Business Degree & then is planning on becoming a PERSONAL TRAINER! I am so impressed with him following his dreams; even though alot of his inspirational followers like his grandmother & Lou Bowers have died {Dru NEVER seems to EVER give up on somthing he wants to do in life! His Personal Trainer he had over the summer {Carole} just loved him! She said he was a WARRIOR...HE NEVER GIVES UP....she was so impressed with him. Dru ended up winning {1ST PLACE IN MENS FITNESS MODEL COMPETETION IN SARATOGA, NY ON AUGUST 11, 2007' & now is on his way to WORLDS in HOLLYWOOD, CA {November 15/16 2007'} with Mum & his Personal Trainer Carole...right beside him all the way....GO DRU...YOU CAN DO IT.....WE KNOW U CAN....WE LOVE U VERY MUCH.....
