Shirley's Story

I married my high school sweetheart my Dave Bobek. We ended up moving to the country and we love it. We have 1-1/2 acres of land. Its such a nice and peaceful life. We ended up having 3 children. Jenn is 26 married but they have no house and he has been laid off since the wedding this past June so she is living at home still with her two daughters Kayley will be 4 in March and Nikki (Nichole) will be 2 in Feb. Her husband still lives at home with his mom. They go to his house for a few days then they come here for a few days. The rest she just stays here. What fun. Actually I feel so blessed as how many grandma's can say they spent as much time as I do with my granddaughters. Then Jenn is a big help around the house, she cleans, does laundry and even cooks dinner! Next is my Danielle who is 21 and in her third year of college. She is studying early childhood development and special education. She is engaged but they don't plan on getting married until she is totally done with college. She is very focused on her school work, her last report card she had a 3.5 so we are very proud of her. Last but not leseace is my son David who is 19. He just graduated from high school this year. In Sept he joined the National Guard. That is like the cream of the crop as he is only on duty once a month and for 2 weeks in the summer. But the end of Jan he does leave for boot camp and then training on his job for 4 months. I am going to miss him so much. I have always worked full time since I got out of high scho...Expand for more
ol. My last job was with an insurance company and I loved it and was very steadly rising up the ranks. Unfortunatly in Jan of 2000 Jenn got mono and I ended up getting it from her. Apparently I was never exposed to it. Well to make a very long story shorter I never got better from it. Actually I just kept getting worse and worse. Ended up I now have chronic fatique syndrome and later also fibromyalgia. I have not been able to work since May of 2001. It's not a fun illness. Every joint and muscle in your body hurts every day. Sometimes the pain is so bad I don't even want to get out of bed. But then I have days where I do feel good and even though I still have pain either its a more tolarable pain or I just can ignore the pain more and feel good. There's alot of other stuff with this illness besides also being tired all the time. You have what's called brain fog which is like it sounds. Its like my brain is frozen and I can't think as well as normal, forgets stuff alll the time and even when I'm talking the wrong word comes out. It can be very imbarressing at time. Then my dear husband is still the jokester he always was and teased me alot. There are days when his teasing doesn't bother me at all. Then there are days when I am very sensetive and it really bothers me. But all his does is tease me more! So that is why I am retired this early. I could no longer do my job. Besides that everything else is great. Dave and I are married 35 years as when I graduated in June that Aaug we got married.
