I got married at the ripe old age of 17. My daughter was born the following February. (please, no math). I was still very young and not the best mother around. If it hadn't been for my mother-in-law, no telling what would have happened. But I'm proud to say that I have a beautiful daughter who still pushes my buttons at times but I still love her dearly. 8 1/2 years after she was born I had a son. Thankfully I had settled down some by that time and I cared for him myself. We lived in many different places in Knoxville and Kingston and never really had a permanent address until the past 13 1/2 years. We have lived in one place that long. Hard to believe, huh? Also I am an LPN who is going back to school to get my RN degree. It seems like I have been in school forever getting in all the prerequisites and all, but I'm closer now than I was. Also last semester I saw American Sign Language offered at my school and took an interest in it. Now I'm hooked. I want to be able to communicate with ALL people (as long as it's within the English language). My husband is impressed with what I have learned so far and is encouraging me to further my education in ASL. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. My husband is a disabled veteran. If I had known how it was going to be before I married him, I probably wouldn't have. But then I was 17. Now I'm glad I did. He is a good man and I love him. My son is currently in the army and should be getting out in about a month. YEAH!!!! Both my children are married and have given me 4 wonderful grandchildren. My daughter has Rebecca and Nicholas and my son has Billy and Shelly. These kids are my life but please, no more! I love keeping my kids on weekends but I can't keep them all at once. They're quite a handful. Plus there is some jealousy going on between babies. I love my life as it is. I stay busy with work, school, my husband and trying to help my mom as much as I can. I only wish I could do more. But my husband is VERY dependent on me and I can't let him down. I guess I've bored you enough. Maybe my next post will be more interesting. Thanks for looking.

- I am now an RN. I love taking pictures, especially of my grandchildren. I love taking care of people and wish there was more time to do it. Management puts so much paperwork and picky stuff on us we really don't have time to do the job we are destined to do.
