Unique

            Other than the facts that I look, walk, and have the same sense of humor as my father, I am still unique. I love my father, oh, do I ever so love that man. It’s more of a, I watch out for him kind of relationship. With all of the controlling girlfriends, calls at midnight because of that flat tire and a little too much to drink, and the recent diagnosis of lymph cancer that was discovered while he was in the hospital after his heart attack. He needs someone to watch over him and that is what I am here for, until the end.

My mother, on the other hand, has a chronic hypochondriac disorder. She cannot take care of herself let alone anybody else. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t love my sister and I or we don’t love her but she can be quite the handful sometimes. My sister is 22 years old and has three young children. I look out for her and her children when they decide to be boneheads and let stupid people watch their kids. Even when I’m tired, and taking care of my own three children I take hers because I don’t want them under the care of idiots and end up getting hurt.

When I am not taking care of children, I am at work taking care of elderly people. I guess I would consider myself a person that likes to take care of people! I like my life, house and mind being organized, maybe a little bit too much most of the time, but I like it and it keeps me sane. Because I am so busy taking care of everybody, the mountains of laundry, endless dishes and toys, toys everywhere, I tend to not get enough sleep, which results in way too many cups of coffee, multiple cans of mountain dew and a few 5 hour energy’s to top it off.

That’s what I am now, and I’m proud of it. I worked very hard to get where I am today and I have a very supportive husband who I couldn’t do with out and my three beautiful children that keep me going every day. I absolutely love my family and I would do ANYTHING for all of them, because that’s just who I am.
