I should have started this blog nine months ago but life has been pretty chaotic. Then I started to think, "Hey! This is a great way to share my joys, vent my frustrations, and keep my inner ego in check."
I know your wondering what the story is, so I won't delay. I am 38 years old and 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. You're thinking, "OK? So what?" Well, my first child is thirteen years old and he is the only fantastic outcome from my first marriage that ended 12 years ago. I raised my son by myself with the help of my wonderful parents. I'm so proud of the young man that he is becoming and even though I know I've made multiple mistakes along the way I have to look at him and say, "Damn, I'm not doing too bad!"
I feel I need to give some background but I don't really want to spend a lot of time doing that. To make a long story short, I met the man of my dreams and we got married on June 27, 2009. My hubby is a Master Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. (Yes, I am very proud of him.) He was transfered to a reserve center located in Chicago, IL. So here I am 800 miles from family and friends, unemployed, and trying to keep my sanity. Needless to say, the first year here was the toughest but it seems that I've come full circle. I searched for employment in the nearby school districts for the first year we were here until I gave up and decided to look outside the box for a job. I accepted a job as a full time nanny for a family with twin 15 month olds. So, here I am. A certified school teacher and school counselor working 50-60 hours a week and my bosses are two year olds!
I didn't want life to get too boring so Honey and I decided to HAVE A BABY! After thirteen years of having an only child, I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of our precious baby girl! She is due to join us on April 4th, 2011. My family and I can't be more excited to welcome her into our world. My story hasn't just begun but I never would have guessed that it would have so many interesting twists.
