Tommie's Story

Hummm, Where to begin? I've lead a pretty boring life in general. Work, take care of my kids, pay taxes, go to bed and start all over again. If I were to pick out a high light though it would most definately have to be my children. I have two sons and two nieces that I've had since they were little. Things haven't always been easy but when they were at their toughest they were right there with me and God only knows where I'd be without them. OMG I sound like a Beach Boys song. Oh well it's true. I'm very proud of my sons. They bright caring young men and my girls are headed in the same direction. I married my HS sweet heart but it ended after 19 years. I'm sorry for the bad times but I don't regret it. If I did I'd have to reret my sons and that will never happen. I will always be thankful to their dad for giving them to me. After the divorce I met a stero-typical New Yorker. Don't tell him I said this but he's not as tough as he thinks. So together we have my four kids, his two cats, my cat and together a dog, and a partridge in a pear tree. Three years ago we moved from California to Texas. We are just north of Austin and other than the humidity it's beautiful. I definately see myself moving back closer to my sons who are in California as I miss them terribly and one day I'd like to be a grandmother and would like to see them more often than once or twice a year. I like to read. My interests vary from period pieces to Harry Potter. I loved American history in school and that hasn't changed. I've been fortunate to do a little traveling and definately want to do more. I'd love to take a 6-8 week trip and see our history. For years I've wanted to write a book but I suffer from writers block. Not that I'm stuck and can't go any further,,,, the problem for me is what the heck to write about. I think it's a blond thi...Expand for more
ng for me not being able to make up my mind and not wimping out and doing it. Even if nothing ever comes of it,,, I can say I did it. If I were to discribe the differences between me when I was in high school and now I would have to say that I'm very different. Different in that things aren't so black and white. Life has alot of gray in it. I think I definately have more of an ability to put myself in someone elses shoes than I did back then. I may not agree with something someone says or does but I try to understand why and what brought them to it. In all honesty I would have to say that that part of me has come about more in the last 10 years than any other time in my life. Things happen to people that makes you wake up, clears the smoke and removes the rose colored glasses. As far as my future. Well that's a one day at a time thing. You hear people talk about wanting to be happy. Happy is momentary. Happy is a five letter word. I want contentment. Content with were I live, work and my health. Don't get me wrong I can live with moments of hysterical laughter every now and then. Thanks for you interest. March 27, 2010 Well moved back to California and am living in the Palm Springs area in La Quinta. I have to say in spite of the heat I absolutely love it here. It's clean and clear and the people are nice. I'm a grandma for the first time and she's the prettiest little thing you ever saw. Sorry to disappoint all the other grandmothers in the world that thought they had the prettiest granddaughters...lol. I also expanded my four legged children and have another dog. A beautiful yellow lab that I've had since she was 8 weeks old and is now a big beautiful 14 month old that loves to knock me down when I come in the door. Makes me wonder how she'd treat me if she didn't love me? Thanks for letting me brag a little.
