Hello Around the World 2 all Family Members.......
I don't know where exactly 2 start, cept it all began on Jan. 6, 1961. I was brought in2 this World In Orlando Fla. Born on Lil Christmas . . . 12 days after Christmas
My Earliest memory that I can think of now, was watching Grandpa Sullivan shave. I was living w/them 4 awhile. well I thought . . . hmmmmm?? I can do that. So after Grandpa left, I climb up so I could c in the mirror, then I began my 1st shave. I then went in2 the kitchen 2 hear this hurling scream. Grandma yelling something @ me. Not so sure Y she was all excited . . . til I looked down @ Grandpa's T-Shirt I was wearing was covered w/blood. Where I thought water was running down my face, I dried it w/the shirt..Ooops
Then I also remember standing in a telephone booth w/Grandma . . . having 2 potty real bad . . . U know where U sit on your foot & don't move 4awhile. She said ok,( thought she meant ok go ) so I went home 2 potty, cept I didn't know how 2 get back, so I stayed there, not knowing they were looking 4 me. . . Ooops again
I went 2 Opa Locka Elementary School my 1st 3 years then it was South Fant the next 3 in S.C. then time 4 Jr. High I went 2 Southwood & finally spent my last 3 @ McDuffie High, where I graduated in 1979 . . . top of the class w/honors & all that . . . ok, no I didn't . . . but it sounded good 2 me..
After Graduation, I moved 2 Newport News Va. 2 live w/my Sister [Jo-Anne] & her Family, & that new bundle of Joy . . . Julia Marie. After awhile I got an apartment w/some friends. Also stayed in a trailor w/Tom. when we had Julia w/us, people thought we were a family. . . it was kind of neat
I never started a family of my own. Not exactly by choice. I was ready w/all the training I had w/other peoples kids all my life. It use 2 B If U saw me, I had a child w/me.
I lost 3 babies during my life. A very sad part of my life. But we take the ups w/the downs I guess . . . so I guess there will B none here. Dr. says I'd have 2 go on complete bedrest. I wouldn't B able 2 afford that. Being Single has it good & bad points 2.
But then the most amazing thing happen on the way 2 the store . . .no, not the store. It was a dark & cloudy day . . . no, no wait. Bright & Sunny. . .yeah that'll work.
A Bright & Sunny day it was when my neighbor decides 2 give me a puppy (it was after one of my miscarriages) like WHAT??..was this a bonus point..Gods joke?? thought ok, won't hurt the lady's feelings So I bring this lil bitty puppy home..it was kind of cute..but I was never a dog person..so I put it in a laundry basket & pushed it aside...after a lil whining...I decided k, I'll pick it up..k, good enough, put it back...when I went 2 work..I'd put it in the tub..U know..no mess 2 step in..
well..eventually I started 2 like this lil mutt, she was already named when I got her..Greta Garbo's Magnolia of Paradigm...Huh?? k, lets just use Maggie..Since her mama was already Greta.
Then bout 2 years L8R...(also after a miscarriage) I get this even smaller looking RAT..Maggie's sister(Sissy)...Greta Garbo's Sassafrass...which again..I didn't want 2 hurt her feelings..but I didn't need another one, so made a deal w/her..that If it was 2 much..would it B alright 2 Give 2 my Sister Joann..since she was gonna move & might could have a pet @ her new home...
Well we went 4 visits 2 c Joann, but as time went on..Sissy wasn't leaving our home..So this became my family..& they R my pride & Joy they make me laugh..they're right by my side when I'm sick..they're so happy 2 c me when I come home
I've had odd & end jobs starting from babysitting, manufactor work, production, sales, fastf ood, convenient stores, dry cleaners, taking care of elderly people, as of now..I'm a drug pusher..well...vitamins.
In my spare time I like being on my puter, being w/my sweet angels, dancing..& using that digital camera..U can c more photos on my web site
