Hello, I'm new here, other than the intro I also wanted to let you know I was the phantom playing with the buttons and trying to learn a bit before I came out of hiding to embarass myself.. So---
I'm Patti,an RN, mom of 4, my oldest is 24,then 23, 16-first 3 older ones are all girls, the youngest is a boy at the age of 5 1/2, the two oldest daughters are married and the oldest has 3 daughters 1, 4, and 5 1/2
That makes me Nannie

yes i STARTED YOUNG! *I'm a diabetic and I'm glad I did, because with each child I had I was warned not to have anymore and well with the wide spread years I seemed to push my luck and God protected me and the child each time until the last became the last medically and physically.
I came from a huge family and I always thought I would have a lot of kids but life just didnt work out that way for me.
I don't even know what I am doing here, only that I am very sad &lonely now that my last of my 4 children has gone off to school and left me at home alone.
Since my back injury& surgery, I have been at home with myself and my arts and crafts to keep my mind off the pain I fight, reading, knitting, drawing, writing, I have to keep changing to try to forget the pain and change positions and sometimes I just cant keep my mind on one thing because of the pain. The surgery I was supposed to have (2nd one) as of Jan 2009, is still being held up, don't ask that's the way of W.comp, and my fears due to traumatic things that happened during and after the last surgery which I don't want to go into,so I wont push for this second surgery and I'll just go day to day and go the the dr apts and take the medicine and try to live a somewhat half way normal life even if my career got so messed up over all of this. And all I can hear echoing is that the surgery will fis me and I will be able to gog back to work again and this, is where i shake my head and feel like crying... ok.. enough of bad thoughts..
So.... I thought that this may be a way to make money and do what I love to do, create, make money and keep my head busy....
First I have to learn what this is all about and how to make a store. I know how to upload the pictures and "make the products" but the store part is what is confusing me.. " I wish I had more time to read but at the moment I'm getting ready for a trip to the pharmacy so I can be medicated for a lovely trip to the dentist-- to one of the many oral 'minor surgeries' I had been going through since August.. (bone loss in mouth from medication .. yea yea yea from the back. nice huh? great way to live.. so lovely that it took my smile a way MEDICALLY ... now that is something ironic! DEPRESSED? OR JUST HAVE A MEDICAL REASON FOR NOT WANTING TO SMILE?.. OR MAYBE A BIT OF BOTH.. some dark humor is a good thing sometimes..
So today I shall spend the rest of the evening LoOpY, and hopefully feeling NO PAIN..
well first things first.. getting there and getting the worst over.. pain of hearing and feeling that dentist drill.. go ahead..insert evil dentist laugh..
you seriously gotta love

them BIG eyeballs

LOL
should give a pair to my dentist, maybe SHE wouldnt look so menacing.. just kidding she is about 4 foot 2 and as scarey as a butterfly, its that drill that scares me!! oK OK.. i DID say I was and am an RN not a comedian, and Nurses aren't known to have very sweet senses of humor, they have dark and nasty senses of humor so.. don't hate me for it.. take me for what I am, dark and well , me Im just me and I do laugh and smile if its a funny joke, it just happens I laugh at odd things

hey well that is kinda funny.. just thinking how funny it would be if there were only one eye or maybe 3?

ok ok and did you realize that smile looks like they have "grills"-thts what i told my daughter i had.. i smiled and said.. check out my "grills" and there it was.. yep.. "speed braces" to help along all the oral surg i had on my mouth.. have you seen a sweet 16 yr old want to pass out in front of her friends .. hehe.. i have many times..

ahhh who cares she'll get over it.. she said i only look 25, im wondering how many times she lied and said i was her creeepy sister she hated!!
hmmm....

btw that will be me after the dentist is done!
ok I have to go now.. take care and hope to meet you all and hopefully ill get to talk to you to get help when i am off the dental meds and can think again lol.
see ya soon..
bye!!
