The Long And Winding Road

I guess we all have different roads we chose in life to lead us to where we are at the Present.
I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. My life was not difficult in the way that we were always provided for extremely well. But My mother was a binge alcoholic and a control freak, my father was a difficult but honest man whom I adored. I valued his insights and our long conversations. He was a passionate man in life with many views. My parents loved to argue, It was like a game at times I felt. I found myself being on the defensive allot in my life growing up.
I felt I had to prove my point it must go heard and noticed or I felt I would fail to exist. This is the one thing I said I would never carry over in my family life.

As I got older I just wanted to get away so I joined the Navy. I went into the Seabees to be exact. It was probably one of the best decisions I had made. I came to know people from all walks of life. I learned that there was so much more that the little town I grew up in and so much more to life, and so much more to me.

I later on had my son Kyle who is the love of my life to say the least. I struggled being a single parent and having a son with ADD. I think 3rd and 4th grade were the worst. What took most kids 30 minutes to finish for homework would take us 2 hours. So it was work come home to cook and help with homework. Forget any social life. But I would not trade any moments with my son regardless. His IQ is extremely high so it is hard for him to cope sometimes not being able to put things on paper but know everything by heart in his mind. He is getting better at this and I am very proud of him.

Once my son became a little older I decided to go into the Mortgage business and it seems their I found my true calling. Although the business as everyone I am sure has noticed is having it's share of problems on the Sub Prime side. One can always succeed if one puts their mind to it. I have found that very true.

I am now the mother of two as I have taken on one of my sons friends. I am his legal guardian until his mother can work out her life. This is something I have wanted to do for this child for quite some time so I am happy with the outcome.

I seem to be the gathering place in town for my sons friends we all meet twice a week. Once for dinner and a movie at home. Once to discuss any topic of their choosing. This has become a big hit and once I figure out how to work things here I intend to show the boys discussions and I think you will be surprised at how brilliant they truly are.

Myself I also have ADD. I am a poor speller...lol but my brain is not half bad. So that is a little about myself more on my thoughts to come later.
