I raised a child of my own, 2 steps, and took in 8 "stray" kids.
I stayed sober and extra healthy through my pregnancy, thank the stars
I never missed a water polo match, soccer game, choir concert, swim meet or dance recital, and I worked most of them.
I took care of 3 out of 4 grand parents in their declining years, one I sat bedside with as he lay dying so he could stay home til the end.
I earned a bach degree, teaching credential and real estate license.
I save stray dogs
I gave up valium at 18, meth at 27, cigs at 21, 25, 28, and finally 35=)
and I gave up booze dec 28, 08!!
