Life Wow! That is what I have to say when I look back! After high school, off to college. Never made it to the bitter (successful) end. Loved it, worked to go back, but did the next best thing at the time instead of becoming a lawyer, became a paralegal. That lasted about two seconds when my first daughter was born. Those blue eyes, porcelain skin and rose bud lips took all my career ambitions away. So, stayed home and worked from home to be with her instead.

Roller coaster ride in the teens), daughter 17 (born 1989)-stubborn as her father + mom's strong will as well. I have my work cut out for me. A little duct tape across the mouth might do the trick! LOL. Son is 14 (born 1992). Great guy! Absolutely great! Gave me a little trouble through JR high, bored and not wanting to do any work in school, but he tests so high the schools would just let him get by to have higher state ranking, by averaging in his score. He is now doing very well, still gets a bit rebellious, quietly, about homework, but he loves school and not be...Expand for more
