Stephie



This is my daughter,Stephanie, we use to call her Grandma...different blog and my 2 georgeous grandson.

Stephie will soon be graduating from college as a secondary education History teacher. WOW!!!!!!! She started back to school 3 years ago to persue a degree in education (poverty) because she thought she could make a differnce.

She is awesome...smart, funny, beautiful and bring so much joy to my life. She is a full time wife and Mother..active with her 2 boys, a honors student in college, active in her church and Cub Scouts. Her boys take violin and guitar lessons and Stephie manages to juggle all this stuff and still graduate with a 3.79.

AMAZING!!!

She is petite(about 5 ft)and cute as a bug, bubbly (never meets a stranger or judges people based on where they live or work). She is kind to a fault and has difficulty saying "NO"....

I want everyone to know how proud I am of my "baby" and how lucky I am that God gave me such a wonderful gift.....

I have become a statistic


Yep, I have become a statistic...LOST MY JOB !!!!! I have become part of the thousands of people that are unemployed. Lost my job on January 22, 2009 and the pickings are really slim. After you have worked all your life, you would hope at 61 to be in postion that it would not have that much impact on your life...that being said....my job choice for the last 20 yrs has been manufacturing...need I say more.

I did try to cross train a couple of years ago when I was laid off from yet another manufacturing job but hubby lost his job also..so it just could not happen. So we picked up and moved so we could find something else and start yet again.

I am not complaining because it has allowed to me make good friends in various parts of the country.

Not old enough to do the SSI thing and to hyper to stay at home.

Looking, looking, looking
