I am a 44 year old wife and mother of 2 boys.... Kris is 19 and Matt is 12. If it says anything about me... I married a sailor on Pearl Harbor Day. LOL I work in a call center taking customer service calls for Sears Credit Cards. It is a very good job.
I feel like I don't have enough free time. If I am not working, I tend to be running around doing things for the family. But when I do get time to myself, my favorite things are doing counted cross stitch, reading, and playing my Nintendo DS. My favorite types of books to read are Fantasy/Science Fiction. I also occasionally like Christian Fiction.
At work I am known as the "cat woman." I LOVE cats and decorate my desk profusely with them. I have 2 cats... my Sonic "the hedgehog" (male 3 yrs old) and Ember-boo (female 1 yr old). They are my babies and I spoil them rotten.
My husband got a gastric bypass Feb 26th and I had one done on July 2nd. So we are both losing a lot of weight (FINALLY) and getting in better shape and health. My husband so far has lost 100 lbs. I have lost 80. It is a hard thing to do and not something I recommend anyone do unless they are at the ends of their ropes and nothing else works and your health is suffering. We were both diabetic, with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and on tons of meds. Since our surgery all those conditions have gone away and no more meds to take. Of course now we have to take tons of vitamins to make up for what we are not getting in food. But it is nice to be healthy again.
