I am a mom of two. Jodi 36 and Shane 35. I have 5 grandchildren ranging in ages from 15 down to 4. I have had an extremely exciting work career of 25 years. I developed fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome in 1991 and have been disabled since 1993. Needless to say, I have more time than money! I love people and animals. I always do anything I can for either. I have a fountain of love within me that spills over on everyone I come in contact with. I am a transplant to Texas from Minnesota for health reasons. Moving to Texas from Minnesota is like being dropped on another planet! All new traditions and language. Getting used to it--like the record breaking heat this past summer. Trying to learn the things I never had time for when working. Like photography, need a crochet and knitting teacher, more about computers. I am a penny-pincher from way back. I have learned many tricks by living on a disability income. Love all the tips on this site. So helpful. Thanks to everyone for your contributions. I hope I can pass some on in the future. Happy Holidays to everyone. May God richly bless you.
