....Well, I'm not your typical "My spacer"...I'm sure. I'm a 44, married, mother of two. Jennifer, 20 and Andrew, 16.
I'm married to a great man, for 22 yrs. in Jan. '06. We've been through a lot together, and he has stuck by me through so many health scares. He is a very hard worker and we met, when he was a Marine, at the Marine Corps. Birthday Ball. We married six weeks later, and had our first child, Jenn, a year after that! Life hasn't always been easy, but we get through it together.
He drives a tractor-trailor, but isn't gone all the time, and for that I'm thankful. He only drives 600 miles away at the most.
I live in between Monroe and Madison, Georgia, where there's a little peace from the world, but sometimes I don't know where true peace lies, this side of Heaven, with all of Life's Stress! Seems that the older I get, the less sense things of this world makes to me. To me, as a Christian, I feel like the Lord has us all in his hands, and I just try to trust in him for all things. It's hard sometimes, but that's where I guess I'm human.
I was born in Orlando Florida, moved to Albany Georgia when I was 5, then about five years ago, we made the move to North Georgia. I love it here!
I worked from the time I was 15, until I turned 40 and I stayed home to take care of my mother, who was suffering from Alzhiemers, then after I lost her, my health failed. I have been sick for almost two years, with Heart problems, and a bad back, all aggrivated by severe Fibromyalgia.
I enjoy scrapbooking, baking, cooking, recipe/cook-book collecting, gardening and my two kids, who, as my title suggests, are the loves of my life. Period. I'm insane, also...crazy about my children. I'm proud of both of them, because I see so much spirit and spunk in them both. Even if we don't always agree...I know there are two special people walking this earth, with my flesh and blood, that know how to laugh, love and are so intelligent, I sometimes can't believe it.
As they find their wings, I'm going back to try and figure out my roots and what I need to do, without them right under me, eating my cookies and sitting in my lap...
Lord knows why I thought that would go on forever...but I did. They will always be my babies, and they grew up waaaay too fast.
Lost my mom and dad about three years ago...ten months apart. Buried a little of myself, both times...with them. They were my first loves...and I am what I am today, because they loved me. Perfect? no...but God were they worth more time than I gave them..and I gave them so much, I thought.
They had three daughters...we lost the middle of our family...Donna in '96. She was a great person, who understood me better than I realized then...but I know that she would say, "cherish every minute" and that's what I try to do, as she left her children at the same ages my children are now. ..I consider her daughter, Elizabeth, my third child...a spirit of a child I aborted at 16, is at peace, now, I pray, because I have given Elizabeth, who would be my child's exact age...a "mom" stand-in, and a spirit of love and acceptance, I wish I could also be giving the child I got rid of...out of fear and immaturity.
Life is so short, but I just want to see some peace in mine. Guess that is my ultimate quest at this point.
I'm suicidal one moment, and wanting to save the world the next. Can you say MENAPAUSE?? lol
My world being the circle of my own life, and my kids.
Life goes on, and somehow I must forge ahead, with my right hand already nailed to someone's cross, and my other one, giving a peace sign.
Guess you can't understand me yet...hope future blogs might explain better.
