Whew! Hello everyone! I finally have a minute to sit and introduce myself. I was diong a search for watermelon jelly (had JUST got some from a farmers market and the lady wouldnt part with her recipe) and fell into this site. Boy am I glad I did! You ladies all seem wonderful and I'm looking forward to the companionship I can see here. Now for a little about myself.
I'm 31 years young (and feeling younger every day) I have 3 BEAUTIFUL sons, ds#1 is 9, he has a few problems, severe ADHD and some depression issues, but is coping very very well. DS#2 is 4, and tries to be spoiled rotten, but mean old mommy only lets that go so far lol. DS#3 is my baby, he just turned 2 and also just started going to a combination preschool/daycare. He adores it, I absolutely hate it I've been married to DH for 10 years now last June, but we've been seperated for almost 3 of those years. He lives in Boston MA and the boys and I live in Glendive MT. IF any of you try to look that up on a map, it's middle of the eastern edge of Montana, about 35 miles from the north Dakota border. This is my hometown, so when dh and I seperated I came running home. It's comforting to be around family and childhood things when in a situation like that. I just bought the home my grandfather built and my mother lived in from the time she was 5 so it's pretty special to me, although I would at some time like to buy a small parcel of land and have a little farm. DH has been pretty good at supporting me and the boys even though we were seperated, but he's now trying to move out here so I'm currently looking for work. The economy out here isnt anything like back east, so we will both have to work to support our brood. At the moment we dont have any pets, I'm allergic to animal dander so no indoor dogs or cats unless they are the hairless kind that I find so funny to look at! I used to do a lot of canning and crocheting when i was younger, but when i turned 19 I joined the army, then met dh, we were a military family until 2.5 years ago, so with being transfered so often and deployments and stuff didnt have much time to do anything with it. I'm just now starting to get back into it. this spring I will be putting in a HUGE garden where my grandmother had hers, the soil is wonderful (she had a compost pile there for 20+ years) and cant wait to start reaping the benefits of the work of my hands. anyway, as I'm sure you've noticed, I'm a blabber mouth, so I'll stop now. also ds#3 is now sitting on my lap trying to help type this lol. Looking forward to getting t know you all better!
