Hi ladies. My name is Rae Marie and I am new to these boards. I used to hang out on the aol boards but they have fizzled out since I was last able to visit, 3 years ago. I am now looking for some new places to hang out and some new friends. This seems like an active board and the posts so far seem friendly. I am a wife of 14 yrs to a corrections officer at a local prison. Together we have 2 wonderful children, an almost 8 yr old daughter (who thinks she is 18) and a 9 month old son. The spacing was not our plan but apparently it was Gods. My husband works with the teens at church and I work with the preschoolers. I also enjoy scrapbooking but rarely have time for it even though I have a room dedicated to the art in my home. I am currently a breakfast manager at McDonalds, but am looking for something else. So far I just can't beat their hours for my family. I look forward to posting with all of you and getting to know you.

Thank you for your warm welcome. I am in Indiana where the weather and scenery are both blah. My dd is in second grade in public school and this year that is very trying. The hours are pretty much the only good thing about McDs. I tend to work from 4am until noon or 1 4 days a week. My schedule goes around my dhs schedule so we pretty much are the only ones raising our children. Our childrens church pastor and his wife have been watching

Hi Rae,
Welcome to the board :)
I use to hang out on AOL boards awhile ago as well.
Now they are just bizarre, LOL
Remember which ones you hung out on ?
That's great your job allows you to be with your kids like that.
Sounds like you have the best of both worlds .. lucky you!
What kind of furkid do you have ?
Hope you'll jump in our many discussions here ..
Lots of fun & great people like yourself hang out here.
Look forward to getting to know you better :)

Hi all. Thanks for all the warm welcomes. It looks like I am going to feel right at home here. I loved my AOL board buddies but they seem to have gone. I swear, the inlaw boards I used to hang out on saved my marriage. By going there to gripe about all the totally insane things my inlaws did instead of complaining to DH made him see exactly what his family was doing. I hung out on some parenting

I am sure you'll make new board buddies here,
iVillage does have all those boards that you visited on AOL when you're ready.
Being here you can vent, whine about anything & everything.
Believe me it helps
Ut oh on the furkid & baby .. yes that happens.
Hopefully he will be fine though.
Good to hear you learned more about yourself, your inlaws with others help.
So glad you found us & looking forward to having you here when you can be here :)
