where do you start when you reach out to share your life ? i have had it all lost it all and started over many times . i was married at 17 and had my daughter that same year. missing out on the majority of my junior and senior years of school, however the reason for leaving school was to work. i was lucky enough to lie about my age and land a job at regency electronics. at that time i had more benfits and as large a pay check as my dad . school was not easy for me i was a rebel. and some more than likey think i still am . it was location more than anything i think i lived on county line road , one side went to marshel across the street went to lawarnce and my side went to mt vernon. we really had no neibors. i wanted to run away and go to woodstack while my mom and dad took us to church 3 or 4 times a week .fortunatly i was the first on the bus and the last off, so i would transform my church cloths to what i thought was cool before the next bus stop. its a good thing i had a cool bus driver ,he let me transforn in the back seat, and then gave me a cigarett to smoke after the last stop on the way home.i never realy found myself in high school . but i knew when the new guy got on the bus i wanted him . and after all these years i still do . i got pregrnant and married and was playing grown up, when i had no ideal what that mean world out there was all about . i found out real quick and i think i finally found myself and who i was when i was around 25 or so . regency shut the doors and i went to rca and they shut their doors. my uncle was the head chef at meridian hills country club, and i landed a job thru him catering for sun shine promotions. i turned into a rock and roll rodie thru the state of indy .feeding and doing dressing room set up for all of the entertainers. meeting them finding out they were just normal people before wordrobe and make up got hold of them. now that i look back on it it was the most exciting time in my life. my girl friend died and i took over gaurdinship of her son. after the death of my brother i took his daughter and countless other kids who didnt have a decent home. i started a home day care. from there i founded nannies inc that placed nannies in peoples homes . i then purchased a commercial day care until i trusted the wrong people and they basicly stold it from me. thats when i retreated to freedom indiana. on top of a hill on a one lane dead end gravel road . it was there i designed my dream house. my husband family and friends built. it was like i had everything in life i could ever want. that was until i had to litterly fight just to stay alive .for some reason my stomach died and a portion had to be removed, after a month in the hospital the bills took all our hard work away and we lost our home to bankruspy .it still stings thankfully we were ablbe to keep about 30 acers and we have a camper we go to . it hurts to look across the street and see what we worked so hard for . but im tha...Expand for more
