Sherri's Story
Hi,
Honestly, I don't have too much time to be updating this, but I do it for selfish reasons. Owning my own business for the last 5 years, I KNOW the power of the internet.
Each time my business name and/or my name is posted on the web, we (I) I have increased exposure. Many of our customers come from the web.
Well, I spent too much money and time in college & graduate school, especially since I now have a career that has nothing to do with what I studied. However, I wouldn't be here without out that experience.
I have changed careers a few times, life is short and I enjoy learning. Although, with all the responsibilities of owning a business, some days I wish I had a 9 to 5 job with a steady income & not many people to answer to.
The days of worrying about stuff like homework, the cliques, the boys, etc. are way in the past: life seemed so dramatic back then.
I wish I could talk about my kids, but I don't have them yet. I am trying now. Life has been too busy, working long, crazy hours. My husband has a crazy, overloaded schedule also.
However, I do have 3 dogs and 2 cats, which ARE OUR CHILDREN. My whole business is based on the concept that dogs are family members.
Here are our kids:
Jasper Jones:(AKA Sper, Jazzy-Fizzle, Jonesy):
5, Hungarian Vizsla/Golden Retriever
Jake (AKA Schmake, Jakey, Jake-a-Muss, Mussy-Fuss):
4, Border Collie/Fat B...Expand for more
lack Lab
Baloo (AKA Loo-Lee, Loo-Loo, Fat-Head, Loose-Lips):
2, English Mastiff
Gaia (Sounds like- "Guy-Ya, AKA: Gaia-Kitty, Kit-TEE):
6, Short-Hair Tabby, Polydactal on all feet (6 toes)
Aphrodite- (AKA Squawk, Squawk-a-Doodle, Pain-in-my Ass)
6, Long-Hair Grey Tabby
I do appreciate Rockford now after living out of state for four years. I wouldn't mind raising kids here; however, I doubt I would want them to attend Rockford schools. So many problems.
Regarding high school, I didn't like it much. I was shy. I thought the whole clique thing was ridiculous, and I felt like we wasted so much time in classes where many students had absolutely no desire to learn or even be there.
It was nice going to school with others who paid to be there. I went to a party undergraduate school at SIU in Carbondale, that was unique. However, my graduate school was very competitive, and my graduate assistantship worked me to the bone.
I don't regret that experience, because I'll never work for "The Man" again.
Well, back to work. I know when I am avoiding
"my job", when I get so verbal with web postings like this.
