"All About You"!!!!!
Ya know I used to work on a computer all day for almost 30 years and now I can't figure out how to do this or that. My husband is baffled by my inabilities to remember or figure things out and then he has to do it. I hear "Everything is always all about YOU!!!!!!" and then I think, UHOH, he needs a break.
I try not to make things "all about me" but I don't even know I'm doing it. He says I'm selfish. Maybe I am. I don't know. I haven't figured that one out yet nor can I remember to.
So........I will tell you about me: I have 6 children total. 2 biological sons, 3 step sons, 1 stepdaughter and 5 grandchildren. I worked in the Engineering/Surveying field for almost 40 yrs. When my children were young, I was a single mother for 10 yrs. I met my late husband in 1993, my older sister (my best friend) died on Thanksgiving day 1994 from a brain aneurysm. In 1996 I married my late husband and in 1998 he was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. I cared for him for 10 years while he got it 2X more and he died in 2008. I lost my stepfather from asbestosis in 2007 and my daddy from throat cancer in 2009. I remarried in 2010 to my current husband. He has had cancer (Basal Cell Carcinoma) 4X in the corner of his eye, the last time having to go to MD Anderson for treatment and surgery. I was laid off of my dream job after 6 yrs of employment there in 2011. Since I was in my 50's, employment was hard to come by so I became a waitress in a little village tourist town nearby. Now that was fun. I met so many people and I miss my customers. I worked during tourist season for 3 years and then the employer closed the business. I had the strokes in 2015 and here I am about to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of a different me. It's almost like a birthday. I have come a long way but my social skills are still lacking. I am so much happier just doing my art and craft work. This is me now and since I don't know who I am yet I hope I like who I become.
Sincerely,
Donna (SweetMom)
