What a GREAT Football season ! ! !

Well as most Love Stories go, we spent just about every waking minute together, outside of our jobs. Mine didn't suffer at all, it couldn't, but Bob's might of a bit. While I was traveling all over with my job and trying to keep track of my children, Bob was following. There were many days that seemed just a blur, because they were. As the school year started and football season kicked off, we started going to almost every game. All the home games that is, except when Bob had his babies. Christian wasn't even two and too small to have out in the heat and later in the cold. But the games we were at, were so fun. I had one in color guard and it was her Senior year and she was the captain of the squad, and my Mariah was a roadie. Watching them was worth it, not to mention even if the ball game sucked and sometimes it did, we're talking Pocola here, the Half Time show was ALWAYS great. See even when Pocola's team is on the slide, the band is and always has been very...

Where Was This Guy My Whole Life ? ? ?

Where had this guy been my whole life, that's a question I asked out-loud one day at work. This sweet girl I worked with replied simply, "He was getting ready for you." We had been in the same area since High School and our paths had crossed probably because we both played Basketball and had a lot of common interests. How could two people so right for each other, not find each other for so long? That's the hardest part of this whole thing, not having more time together, finding each other so late in life, but always better late than never and the only other regret..... not having a baby together. I know what you're thinking...... "They already have six, like they need another" , it would of made us both very happy if we could of shared that together, but it's pretty obvious, we have enough to keep us hopping.

What Am I DOING ? ? ?

Why would any normal person want to shake up their world, when it finally had some peace? That's exactly what I appeared to be doing by deciding to date this guy "Bobby Owens" . How stupid could one grown woman be, obviously pretty stupid. My life had become simple, comfortable , quite and you know NORMAL! My daughters were doing well in school and we had a good system worked out. I worked ALL the time but we shuffled our baby, which was 12 almost 13 at the time, back and forth between me and Beth so that she wasn't left alone and when she was, it was for no more than 2 hours. I did a lot of parenting over the phone and I know my co-workers enjoyed it but I hated it. I missed Mariah and Beth so much I could hardly stand it. I was still trying to get used to Leslie being gone at college and I was so grateful to have her home for the summer, knowing that I was going to suffer again when she went back in the fall, this time taking Boo with her. I guess the "Big Guy...

What if I make the wrong CHOICE ? ? ?

I was so sure that I didn't want to date this guy.... Bobby Owens, I mean after all, this motor cycle man I had been chasing for years had wondered back into my life and was proclaiming his love for me and I had waited for so long on this guy. I had chased him for 2 years, all the while he was running saying that he wasn't ready for a commitment. But now he realized that "I" was worth the risk and he had said he had waited on the side lines all the years, waiting and watching the girls grow up and waiting to step in when the time was right. That time being, he said, "Once the girls don't need you as much as they need you now". So what do you do with a choice like that. I had LOVED Johnny and I didn't even really know this Bobby guy, I just knew there was something different about him and I was pissed because I couldn't figure it out. He (Bobby) had 3 small children and Johnny was like me, ours were raised or almost raised. There were so many thin...

A REAL Love Story

Once upon a time there was a woman who had been married twice, and she was NEVER going to get married again. She had been divorced for 4 years and dating was not even going well. She had decided that growing old alone was just going to be a way of life for her. Now her daughters and her sisters and her friends all had other plans. They all had taken turns in trying to set her up, but it usually ended the same way...... either she was too busy or they didn't like her kids or the job got in the way or she didn't like him or he didn't like her. Anyway she had grown very content with her new life. She loved her independence and her job and her kids were growing up nicely and ending high school, starting high school and one starting college. They were independent and she had time to read books and watch TV other than cartoons... Then the whole world changed..... Now my bestest friend and the girls step-mother, had a new neighbor move in and she was SURE I needed to meet this guy...

Wow.......... How did this family come about ? ? ? It's a love story that is so incredible that it's not believable, but it's soooooo true. My name is Cathy and I have 3 BEAUTIFUL daughters. Leslie is 20 and the smartest kid in the world..... Ok, ok she's the smartest kid in our family. She's bright and beautiful and is one big tree hugging hippy.
