Recap, for Lin.

This post is for Lin. She's had some questions about my confusing life. I can't blame her and I don't mind answering them. So here goes.

1. I have 2 children, Alex, the boy is going to be 14 on April 6, Erin, the princess, turned 12 in Sept. Now on to the confusing part. I got re-married on 3-4-05, he has 3 children that live in CT. Whitney turned 10 in Sept. Jacob turned 6 in Aug and Isaiah turned 5 in Aug, we get them for the summer.

2. I started working part-time for the post office in Dec. I'm the Postmaster Relief.

3. My mom is wonderful. After my divorce from the kids' dad in 95, we lived with her until Oct of 04 when I moved in with hubby. Mom will be retiring in 2yrs and decided that she didn't want to live in Springfield, IL so we bought a big house together and things are going great. I'm very lucky. She and hubby get along great and with all of the different hours we work, somebody is always here for the kids. Plus, when we lived an hour and a half apart, it was hard on my kids not seeing her all the time.

4. Erin is disabled. At first I was told that she had Cornelia de Lange syndrome, pretty rare, but at least I could read about it and I actually worked with kids that had it. A couple of years ago, after a routine trip to the genetisist, I was told that she does not have it, however, she does have a chromosome abnormality that nobody else has ever been diagnosed with. So she does have a syndrome, the Dr. calls it Erin's syndrome. She is so easy to take care of, right now she is curious like a 2 yr old, but she doesn't get into all the trouble. She knows she's the princess. She is the youngest grandchild and the only girl, except now she has a step-sister, so that's not a big deal for her. She's cool with it. However, one of my nephews is going to be a dad soon, so there just might be another little girl around.

5.Alex is the typical teenage boy, except he has my twisted sense of humor. He's a good kid. We have a lot of fun with him.

That's it in a nutshell. I'm sure there is more, but I don't want to bore you all too much.
