Laurel's Story
Life
My Spouse .....
I was married already when I met my current husband. We worked for the same company in two different cities. We just happened to meet one evening and became good friends. Then after my divorce we started to date casually. After about 2 years of dating we wed in 1999 and have been doing great ever since. He's my best friend and my soul-mate.
My Pets....
I had a female fawn doberman named Jewel. She died of cancer in 2007. We miss her alot. I also have a shi-poo(shi-tzu and toy poodle) named Bailey. He's my baby. He was given to me from my husband for my birthday and he's my little companion. He'd go everywhere with me if I let him. Now I also have a bulldog named Moosh, the name says it all, and a westie named Koah..he's a doll. Koah has moved with my oldest to a house not to far from mine. Recently we acquired 3 geckos for my kids. Of course I do all the work but they are pretty cool reptiles. Their names are Kimchi, Mango, and Freddie. They are all female as far as I can tell.
My Kids....
I have three beautiful kids. Taylor, Jade and Dalen.
My Job .....
I worked for KOHL'S in Santa Fe as a supervisor of customer service and all the cashiers in the store. I became disabled from Fedex due to a wierd sickness I came down with. After 2 years of tests they found out that I have Fibromyalgia and can no longer drive for a living at Fedex so I ended up on disability. Well that soon ran out and Social Security took their sweet time as we all know so I got a job with Kohl's and quickly moved up in the company. It i...Expand for more
s hard most times because of the pain, vertigo, and sleepiness, but the show must go on. After about 3 years and 3 appeals, a judge finally awarded me Social Security benefits. I now don't work. It bugs me because I always liked working but it is becoming very difficult for me to do anything. My doctor loads me up with pills to keep me awake, asleep and numb(not allat the same time). I try to take only a minimal amount to get me through the day. After studying my disease I've found myself to have one of the worst cases of Fibromyalgia. I have tried everythingto control the pain and the other symptoms but to no avail.
It is definately frustrating, but I have to run my 2 youngest around as needed since my husband works very long hours. If anyone reading this thinks that they might have these symptoms, please don't give up finding out the diagnoses. It takes a long time because you have to rule out everything else first, but it's worth it.
I LOVE Nascar. Especially the #11 team with Denny Hamlin as the driver. I watch all races and go to as many as I can afford. My family is also into Nascar and my son wants to be a Nascar driver someday. He said he wanted to be the #99 but I told him that Carl Edwards was already the #99. My son said that when he gets to Nascar he will kick Carl out of that car. Funny enough, Carl Edwards is his favorite driver. My daughter Jade likes Kasey Kayne, the #9 budweiser car. Don't know her reasoning other than he's cute. My husband is a Denny fan also, but we do have other drivers we root for if Denny isn't racing.
