    About Me

    i am an only child dealing with 2 parents in a nursing home I also have two adult childern living with me. One is working and one is in college. I work everyday and sometimes lots of overtime. I read books when I have time. My weekends usually consist of going to nursing home to see mom and dad, grocery shopping and running everyday errands. I like to go to the movies when there is something out there. I have a nice ex-husband who really helps me out. he keeps my sanity together but I couldn't live with him.

    Interests
