"Something You Dont' Know About Me" Round 2

I really enjoyed getting to know more about you guys the last time we did this post. Are you up for another round? It will help our friend CeCe stay entertained while she's stuck at home! I'll start: I'll share with you my most embarrassing secret. Some of you know that I came from a dysfunctional childhood. What you don't know is that I got married at 16 to escape it. That was my first mistake (5 years)! He had 10 affairs that I know of--probably many more! I stay married to my second mistake for 20 years. He was a drug addict from the very beginning, but I didn't know it until it was too late. He was a typical street drug addict--lazy and sneaky. Randy is my only true marriage and the one that I was meant to be with. I'm so happy with him that I just can't believe it sometimes! Now, I've bared my soul with you. Tell us something that we don't know about you--good or bad--feel free to share whatever you like!

Ok Something you don't know about me.... I didn't get married until I was 23 and was a virgin until I met my hubby. (I didnt' say until he was my hubby!) If you count real carefully I was beginning to suspect I was PG at the wedding. (This was truthfully our plan!) We were Married on March 26 and my son was born Dec. 10. If you just count months you get 9 but if you look too closley at dates and know that my son was 8 days late... well now you know my deepest darkest. I won't have a thing to tell you next time. Ok - I want to hear some more stuff. You guys are entertaining me too. Where are you CeCe? Trudy

Hi, guys!!! I'm finally home from the trip from hell to the doctor! The doctor visit wasn't bad - it was the weather and the traffic!! We saw at least 100 accidents and I was so scared I cried!!! I wanted those darned drains out but I also wanted to turn around and go home!! I don't know whether the ice on the road was a surprise or what but the roads had not been prepared for it and the drivers even less! I AM DRAIN FREE!!! On the down side, the doc dug out the dead tissue in that one bad spot on my incision and now it has to be cleaned and packed twice a day but hopefully, it will heal from the inside out and he won't have to redo that spot. I have to go back NEXT WEEK. I never thought I would see him THAT often! Now, to secrets!!! I, too, have a deep dark past!!!!! I was rebellious and dated a bad boy because my mother hated him!!! She wouldn't even let him in the house!!! So, speaking of calendars, Trudy, my daughter arrived early too but she sure wasn't planned!!! We married but it was short lived! I had been divorced NINE days when I met my present husband. My mother LOVED him so I put him through hell before I married him. Thank God I finally came to my senses! We've been together forever and it only gets better! My first husband was my first love and I dreamed about him regularly for YEARS even after he was killed accidentally. Thankfully, I no longer dream of him. My daughter never knew him well and has always considered my second husband (who adopted her) her real father. I'm too tired to answer many posts tonight but thanks to Trudy for her reply to yesterday's!!! And, poor Kim! Still in the hospital! CeCe

I'm replying to my own post here! Just wanted to add that although I married and divorced early, I went to university when my daughter was young (and after I had remarried), graduated in 3 years with STRAIGHT A's! Got my Master's Degree in Public Administration (also with STRAIGHT A's!) and even studied in a foreign university when we lived in Europe for 8 years! And, I once took parents to court and even took their children away from them at times!!! (I worked as a Child Protective Services Social Worker!!!!!!). I also had a gun pulled on me in that job!!!! CeCe

Wooooooooo Hoooooooooo... You are drain free... Sorry about the packing, but at least you don't have any more bothersome drains.... Right ?!?!?!? I am sure it is a blessing in disguise that your daughter never knew him... I wish that had been the case with my oldest son... but that is a whole nother story... LOL.... All things work out for some reason by Gods Holy Graces and we can only know that He knows why things happen, but they do..... Everything works out in the end... HE knows why!!!!!! Hugs to you, Shawn M.

Yay! Drain free! When I have a drain or G-tube hanging out of me, I'm just existing--not living! It's so weird. No, you're going to feel like you are really on the road to recovery. I'm glad Hank finally won out in the end! He is a jewel! Wanda

That's a great story, Trudy! I'm glad the timing worked out perfectly for you. It sounds like you and Ted were meant for each other! Wanda

OMG!!!! I have soooo many deep dark secrets... Where should I begin????? I guess we will start with only one.... The year was 2001!!!!! Todd and I had been married for about 2-1/2 years.... We had two children and just recently moved into a new home.... It was, and still is, a two story three bedroom colonial home.... Small, but we manage. Anyway... we had a fight... As many of you know I suffer from bi-polar disorder...soooo... this was a time I decided I did NOT HAVE to take my meds.... so the fight continues and I progress by telling Todd for the millionith time, that I wanted a divorce.... he continued to say no... time after time after time.... so I opened the window to our second story bedroom, in the middle of winter, with about 6 inches of snow on the ground and threw everything he owned OUT!!!!!! I mean I threw everything... his socks, his underwear, his jewlery box.... EVERYTHING!!!!! I did leave the suit we were married in though... That stayed hanging in our closet, but everything else went out in the snow..... Todd proceeded to get laundry baskets and gather everything up... he hung up all of his stuff in the basement, found places in the laundry room to put his other things, and slept on the couch.... FOR SIX MONTHS!!!!!!!! I don't remember now what we fought about and neither does he (I asked him)... but I was soooooooooooo pi**ed at him that he wouldn't even ask me if he could come back into our bedroom..... It just slowly happened and everything was back where it should be, including him.... Needless to say..... I am so blessed to have him in my life.. not many men would have stayed through that, let alone so much of the bull sh** I put him through.... He is such an Angel in my life... Did I mention he works all week and does all the laundry and most of the cooking for the kids.... OMG... Like I said, where do I begin.... Sooooooo I have no clue why I have been so depressed with as blessed as I am... but I have been.... The meds seem to be working so that is a plus.... Anyway... that is ONLY ONE of my deep dark secrets.... I am sure I will think of more.... LOL..... HUGS to ALL!!!!!! Shawn M.

Would you look at this sexy woman! You look fantasic, Shawn! Todd seems like such a kind and patient man. You are blessed. I'm proud of you that you are so open and honest about your condition and just keep working through it. Wanda

Thanks Wanda! Yes, I am very blessed to have him... of course nobody is perfect, but he sure puts up with a lot from me... He's a keeper that is for sure.... HUGs, Shawn M.
