Joy's Story

Life OK this is all about what I have been doing since I left High School. Well I got married to Billy Hodge while I was still in school( 1981)I was 17. I had 3 kids by 1986 One Son two Daughters .I lived in Douglasville until they were almost grown.I divorced Billy in 1997 took the kids and moved to Texas{Houston}I hated it ! Did you know there are no trees in Houston?I was home sick for the tall Georgia Pines !!! So off to Georgia we went . I got a job at the Atlanta Journal paper and at Winn Dixie working night stock.I have been writing Childrens books and poems. I love going rafting and walking Nature trails.I am a giant fan of Bluegrass and Southren Gospel music.Now thats my life not full of glamore but for me it's a life. School My biggest crush was a boy that lived close to me once and we played together as kids.not saying what we played !!!But you know who you are lol so you can e-mail me sometimes so we can keep in touch.Joy0117S at aol dot com or Joy0117S at yahoo dot com The Teacher's that inspired me the most were Paula Davis ,Mary Hunter,Mrs. Hansard and Claudette Harmon!!! Awesome teachers !!!! I really appreciate all of them. I miss mostly all my closest friends ,Donna Cook,Jeff Dulworth,The Manning Twins,Cicero flower,Barry Jackson,Timmy Mayfield,Tony Davis,Milton Voyles,Jeff Dulworth,Tony Edwards,Christy Parson,Michelle Bailey,Loretta Hill,Theresa Smith,Tracy Raby,Clay Haney,Jeff Dulworth,Curt Chambers,Diana Cochran,Kim Larson,Theresa Mauldin,Margret Few, Kenneth Clay,Scootie Cole and well you all know who you are lol I miss clowning around in Mrs.Hunter's classroom.I miss all the laughs we all had and I want you all to know I still haven't change I am still Crazy !!! I love having fun and i love making people laugh. My Hero is no longer living He left the world on July 3rd 2002 .I drew my strenghts ,my positive attitude,My sense of Humor and my love from him.I think of him every day and not one monent goes by in my day that I don't see him in me and my kids. I loved my Dad with all my heart and now that he's gone all I can do is wait until the Lord calls me home to be with him again. My Dad was a vetran of the Korean war in the Airforce .He lied about his age so he could join he was just 16. He was a Baptist Minister ,A teacher of Machanics at the Atlanta Airport but most of all He was a great Dad ! The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Jeff Dulworth If I won $100 million, I'd give most of it to Research Autism research then spend the rest on Jessey and Trevor. My current age is 45. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be really old and mean. I was so completely right lol. What happened to your first crush? well I see from his profile he isn't married lol.He was my best friend and I miss just hanging out with him.We had alot of great fun as kids and I think he really liked playing spin the bottle just ...Expand for more
so he could get a kiss hehehe. My best friend would tell you I'm Crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as wierd.I am what I am lol I share my home with Kids , which I find annoying ,loud and tiring!.But Il love em ! You get one do-over. What do you do differently? I would have made better life choices I would have moved to Florida bought a houseboat and married my best friend and lived a truly happy life. In 10 years, I hope to be in a better place in my life .I plan to make many changes to reach peace and my goals of a happy life . I hope my old friends remember me just as I was because I have not changed I am still crazy and still love taking dares and I still make people laugh.Life has change me in some ways I'm a little less trusting a little less open around some people and well when your heart is worn on your sleve, it's out there for anyone to use at will rather kindly or hurtfully. childhood memories i'll never forget ; Egging the neighbor's house with JoAnn and Tammy and Lynn Carr.playing spin the bottle with Jeff,waving to Micheal as his dad passed by our house on the way to work. Jamie and barry riding mini bikes through out front yard. The time Me and Vic Story has to stay in at recess in the 6th grade and he put a rubber snake in Mrs Odem's chair and when she saw it she freaked out ! and Mrs Hyatt came running from across the hall with a hammer and was beating it like crazy or The time Barry Edmondson shot a spit ball at the Teacher {Mr.Allen}and I laughed so hard I got a paddling for doing it. yep it was in Stewart Middle School. I also will never forget the time Me and Sterling Davis sat in Class writing sentences in Mr' Spearmans class we wrote sentences the whole school year in his class! LOL I have no Idea what we did. I will never forget the time Bert Hines got up on top of the lab table and Mooned the class while Mrs.Baugh was out of the room .Nice cheeks Bert !Or the time Me and Donna Cook was late to class yet again b/c we were smoking in the restroom in between classes as usual and we were running down the stairs trying to beat the late bell and Donna pushed me and I fell and broke my ankle .Well we did get out of detention lol Donna was deemed a hero for getting Mr. Tanner to help me and I saved our a**es from getting work detail. wow that was a close one ! and for the next 6 weeks we got to smoke in the bathroom without fearing detetion lol cause I had a broke ankle and a cast we could be late to class .Donna and i have a long history of smoking in the bathroom lol we even did it in middle school lol Mrs Brown 's class She was so old she she wore a wig never missed us lol we would answer roll call then slip out of the room to the rest room and talk , put on makeup and smoke the entire class period and the most shocking thing is we passed her class!.WOW I sure am glad my kids didn't take after me lol .
