Kim's Story
I'm also on Facebook and myspace/journeygirlsmom.
Well after a recent reconnection I guess I was perceived as a GoodyGoody. LOL I just can't help it if I wasn't allowed to leave the yard at times or walk around the block at others.
I always wanted to be a wife when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a not so great idea. As it turns out, they were oh, so right. I completely chose the wrong man.
The wildest thing I ever did which is so lame by the way, was skip school to go to breakfast. It kinda looks like I might have been a bit of a GoodyGoody after all.
As it turned out in 1984 I married the guy that I was going with all through school. We built a house that I still own, but moved out of July 2008. Anyone that used to live in PS back in the day, has been there recently and seen the dramatic changes, knows it was time to find another Small Town to raise my Daughter. I love my new small town and hope that my Daughter will look back and be glad we did move.
I'm not into sports but I'm a Reality TV Junkie. I pretty much like them all Maybe wishing I was brave enough to ever do some of those things. GoodyGoody Again
Life has a strange way of turning out completely different than you think. I always took it for granted that I would always be able to bear children. The biggest surprise to me was that I worked hard to get healthy and was really proud of myself then health issues invaded my life and within a few short years I had to mourn the fact that I would never be able to give birth to ANY children. Then after many long years I was BLESSED to adopt the Daughter of my dreams.
Being a Mom has been, hands down, the most rewarding experience of my life. This is what I was meant to do. I've been involved with everything that her schools have let me. So many children have parents that have to work without flexible schedules. I kinda take those kids under my wing an...Expand for more
d make them feel special when their parents can not attend a function.
If I had one do over I would not waste my high school years with the one person I did. I lost out on so many things. I should of enjoyed those high school years so much more! I shouldn't have been such a goody two shoes. My parents would have killed me but I'd probably be remembered for something really wild.
I have 2 really close friends. One that I've known since 1st grade and the other I met in 6th. Yep That's Belinda and Rita respectively. They have been my one constant through all these years. The Good The Bad The Ugly The tears of grief and of happiness The laughter until we cried The endless memories that are so near and dear to me. I'm crying just thinking of how much their friendship means to me. They stepped out of the box a little more than I did, but the reason we clicked, I believe is because our wonderful parents have the same values and raised us with those values. Corny sounding isn't it. Back then I only thought Awh Crap they won't let me ___________fill in the blank.
Now that I have a child that's 7 - She very rarely LEAVES THE YARD.
Oh No I've become my parents. LOL
I really don't let her sit on concrete either. snickering
Well, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. There's plenty of drama in between just as we all have experienced.
The biggest recent change other than my move to the country is dealing with the loss of my Dad. Finding a new normal is hard to do. For those of you that have lost a parent you know what I mean. I was blessed to enjoy him for 43 wonderful years. I miss him so much.
I finally bit the bullet and did a 1 year membership so if you want to reconnect or just catch up - Send me a message. I'm sure a lot of people don't even remember me - heck I don't remember a lot of the names I see.
If nothing else this is great therapy. LOL
Talk to you soon.
