About Me
I used to be a nanny, for 11 years. I am working on writing a book teaching nannies to plan teaching activities. There is almost no limits to what a child under 5 can benefit from. Children are my world I also have the worlds most adorable pug-he told me so!

Hello!! I hope you are having a spectacular Saturday!! The Facts of Life: THE FACTS OF LIFE The 2 most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Money can't buy happiness...But it sure makes misery easier to live with. Nothing in the known universe travels faster than a bad check. A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn. It has recently been discovered that research causes cancer in rats. Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn. If you are given an open-book exam, you will forget your book. The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. Dave's Law: You can't fall off the floor. The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. Vital papers will demonstrate their vitality by moving from where you left them to where you can't find them. Law of Probability Dispersal: Whatever it is that hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch. He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Have a cup of coffee, it's already been 'saucered and blowed. She's so stuck up, she'd drown in a rainstorm. It's so dry, the trees are bribing the dogs. My cow died last night so I don't need your bull. Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining. He's as country as cornflakes. This is gooder'n grits. Busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor. If things get any better, I may have to hire someone to help me enjoy it. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Insanity is my only means of relaxation. Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets. You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely. Every time I think about exercise, I lie down till the thought goes away. God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever. It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts. I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart. There cannot be a crisis this week; my schedule is already full. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends. Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today. Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness. If at first you don't succeed, see if the loser gets anything. You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing. I don't mind the rat race, but I could do with a little more cheese.

All About Me!! I'm the life of the party... even when it lasts 'till 8pm. I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer. I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going. I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, antacid... I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go. I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up. I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying. I'm very good at telling stories...over and over and over and over. I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine. I'm so cared for: long-term care, eye care, private care, dental care. I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, children, politicians... I'm positive I did housework correctly before the Internet. I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place. I'm wrinkled, saggy and lumpy, and that's just my left leg. I'm having trouble remembering simple words like... uh... I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies. I'm walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less. I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days. I'm in the *initial* state of my golden years: SS, CD's, IRA's, AARP. I'm anti-everything now: anti-fat, anti-smoke, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory. I'm a walking storeroom of facts... I've just lost the key to the storeroom.

Super Sunday wishes!! I couldn`t ask for better friends! One Night After Watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire... A man and his wife went to bed and the man was getting very frisky. He asked his wife if she was in the mood. His wife answered, "Not tonight dear, I have a headache." The man replied, "Is that your final answer?" She said "Yes." "OK, then I'd like to phone a friend." he replied

Here are flowers & your Friday funny.Hope you like it & have the best weekend!!A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire paycheck! When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, 'How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?' He replied, 'That would be fine with me.' Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Close Eating Disorders
When I was 9 I was put in a position where I was fed irregular schedule and force to go on 1-3 day fasts. From then on I have dealt with bi-polar disorder, and when I feel unsafe I binge. That's often. I keep a lot of food in my house, which helps keep the panic down some. That's all good food, I don't usually binge on that. I make myself go out if I want something unhealthy. In spite of all that, I binge too much. I have chronic pain and I take meds for that and for the bi-polar
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It provides insights, which I have enough of already, and support, which helps but once a week just isn't enough
- Writing Working / Worked
- It's always there for me and feelis very safe. When it's really bad I don't always remember, when when I remember it's quite helpful.
Close Chronic Pain
I had a car accident 15 years ago which caused neck injuries. After 2 years I was able to return to work, dealing with the pain in various ways. Then 5 years ago I had a physical altercation with my now x-husband. It made my neck worse and injured my back. I have improved only to get bad again 2 more times, and now my Dr tells me any improvement with be slow and long in coming.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- Dr eventually told me it was useless to continue since I went out of alignment before I left the offer
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- I take this on a limited basis, when the pain spikes
- Lyrica Working / Worked
- This stopped a lot of the pins and needles feeling in my thigh and down my arm and leg
- Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
- This is a muscle relaxant and I take it twice a day and flexeril at bed. It helps with cramping and helps me to sleep better.
Open Sexual Abuse
I was kidnapped at age 9 and was there for 7 months. I was afraid all the time and there was a constant danger of sexual activity, Some was having to sit by a bed and watch, some was a lot more. I created a total split. When I was sexially aroused I didn't even realize. Those feelings turned into anger and shame. I need sex, but I don't really like it. It scares me. I've been to some very extreme places as an adult. Right now I am abstinent.
