Dana's Story
Life
After HS I married and moved away to Tucson,AZ. Divorced a yr later and just lived my life til 1991 when I had my beautiful daughter. Came back home, married a childhood friend(also a Central graduate)w/ two girls of his own in 1992. We had a son and then he had a bad work accident just months later.We relocated to FL in 1997. Having endured that marriage thru disability and drug dependence, I am finally divorced-again. But my life has been improving immensly since leaving my ex. I've finally found a wonderful, 'normal' man w/ whom I share a home. My family has expanded by three more! He has a 7yr old daughter, a 5yr old son and another girl,3yrs old. So now I am starting over again w/ young ones. My first two step-daughters are 20 and 18 now(!),my daughter just turned sweet sixteen and my son is 13. I've enjoyed the stay at home mom bit for half a year now and currently am looking for work. I've worked in the school system off and on for the past 7yrs but am trying to find a new direction. I rec'd my CDA in 2000, but just started 'real' college this fall. Still don't know what I want to be when I grow up,lol. Our home is filled w/ 3 cats and 3 dogs,3 children(fulltime,7 partime!),lots of noise and lots of love.
So, now it's 2009. My first two step-children are adults. My one teenager wi...Expand for more
ll be 18 in a ew days and my other teenager is now a full time member to our home due to the death of his father. The 5 and 3 yr olds are now 7 and 5. The 7yr old is developmentally delayed and needs anger management. He's already had self esteem counseling in kindergarten.
I have a federal job. One of the least liked...Transportation Security Officer. Yep, that's right. The one who goes thru your bag at the airport before you get on a plane. It's a pretty good job. My fiance is working for our fair city in wastewater operations. A state licensed job. We'd Love to get the hec outta Florida, but who can give up such good jobs to do it?
I'm not sure how everyone I knew in school-which really wasn't that many-remembers me, if at all,LoL! I didn't have many aspirations but to just work and get the hec out of my parents house. That was the first marriage. I ended up in Tucson, AZ w/ that one. Tucson was pretty cool. I had to grow up there, no family to fall back on. Mind youm I never saw the Grand Canyon in the seven years I lived there, but I thrived well enough. Met Lena's father and had a wonderful Love/Hate relationship w/ him for 4yrs until Lena came along. Became friends with Lena's godmother there and still consider her one of my best friends to this day tho she lives in another hemisphere.
