A Little about my life.

Hello all fellow bloggers. While I may be new at blogging I have followed several bloggers for a couple of years. I thought it was time that I stopped just "looking into others lives" and start typing about mine. Although I know mine won't be as near as interesting as the ones I follow at least I won't feel so much like a stalker. I live in an average size town in West Texas where if you don't see the dust blowing is a good day. There is not much in the form of entertainment and my son jokes that the "thing" to do is stroll the aisles of our local Wal-Mart. Like I said in the "about me" my son keeps me busy with all his activities. He is a member of JACS (Junior American Cancer Society), DECA, TAFE (Texas Assoc. of Future Educators) and YAC (Youth Advisory Commission). The first three are all through the school the last is through the Local Government. They disbanded the Theatre Club or we would be in that to. He is the local President of DECA as well as District 8 President of DECA. He (me to) will be going to California in April with DECA and then he will also be going to DC in July with DECA (all paid for) to attend leadership workshops. Where TAFE is concerned this year he was secretary and next year he will be the historian. He will be a Sr. next year so we will be having to also deal with duel classes from the University or College that is in town. I work part time as a Substitute teacher so I can be with my son as much as I can. I also have a disorder called Neurofibromatoesis (type 1) which effects my health as so as of Oct. 2008 I was placed on SSD. I still want to work, its just that I am not able to do as much as I would like. I have worked full time since I was 19 and not being able to do so now makes me feel as if I'm not doing my best. I have a younger sister that lives in the same town and she like my son is always busy. She works at a local daycare as well as our church. She also volunteers her time to the local Women's Shelter watching children while the mothers have group. She is also a breast cancer survivor. My mom is a retired teacher and lives just about 20 miles from here. She has often said she is busier now than when she worked. My dad died my Sr. year (Sept 11, 1987) due to complications of his NF (neurofibromatoesis). My stepdad works here in ________ as a security guard for a local company. He was once a popular artist in LA. In fact he did the album cover for the Door's "FULL CIRCLE". Along with many other album covers, movie posters, booklets etc....... Well, I guess that about covers the "a little about me".
