Got married right after high school-Aug of 1989-to Jamie McReady and moved to Brunswick. Moved back to Screven and had our first child in 1992 (3mths prematurely. She only weighed 2 lbs 2oz at birth.) Moved to Eatonton in 1993. Had 2 more children, one in 1996 and one in 1997. Moved back to Screven in 1999 (worst mistake of my entire life!) Jamie got addicted to prescription pain pills. I left him in 2001. He soon followed us back here and made all kinds of promises....I finally divorced him in 2002. He moved back to Screven to live the DRUGGIE lifestyle in March of 2003 and hasn't looked back since (neither have I). He's abandoned his kids and is more than $25,000 behind in child support! I'm raising these 3 beautiful children COMPLETELY on my own and LOVE IT!! I've been in a 5 1/2 yr relationship with a man that lives in Atlanta. We don't live together, but are together every wkend. He's a good man--but I really don't need/want to be in a relationship!
I have been self employed for almost 16 years now. First, I had an in home state registered day care--for 15 yrs.) In 2003, I started with Adult Parties and am still doing that. I love that job!! In 2007, I bought a commercial embroidery machine and do that out of my home still today. I said when my oldest child was 1 that I really wanted to stay at home and raise my own children. Fortunately, I have been able to do that since then!! I didn't want anyone else telling me what my children's firsts were. I wanted to witness it all myself and have been VERY blessed to be able to do so!! I am focused on my children and that's it!! I feel sometimes that I have a very big void to try to fill and it does get overwhelming at times. Then I realize, I'm only their Mom. I couldn't ever fill the void of not having their Dad. That's his problem and I don't worry about it like I used to. He's the one missing out. I keep them busy, their minds occupied, their hearts filled with love--so maybe they don't realize the void sometimes. There's absolutely nothing that I can do about it.
Also--I don't have time for the "silly stuff" that comes along with being in a relationship. I don't cheat, I don't lie, I don't hurt people. I don't have time to play games--that was like so high school--LOL.
I'm also on facebook and myspace, but I never check myspace anymore. I need to delete it, I guess.
That's about it. Look forward to seeing you all at the reunion. I'll only be able to come Friday night b/c we've already booked our condo for our annual vacation in Panama City Beach-Aug 15-25th. We'll have to get it all in that night(lots of catching up to do)--LOL
