Hi Shawna, Nice to meet you. I work as a legal secretary in San Jose, California. I have a 16ds, 14dd, and 10ds. I also have a beagle and a dh I keep as a pet! LOL.
Welcome! I'm in San Diego too. What part of the county do you live in? We're in Alpine in East County but we are trying really hard to leave California altogether -- tired of the high cost of living, the traffic, gas prices, the heat ... all of it.
I have a 14yo sophomore DD who attends Cathedral Catholic HS in Del Mar (yes, it's a heckuva drive) but worth every mile because it has been a great fit for her and she has done incredibly well and is very happy. I also have a 12yo DS in 7th grade here in Alpine.
Both are very receptive to the idea of moving to a different state (Colorado, looks like); I am probably more apprehensive than they are!
>>Also have two birds and a boyfriend I keep as pets.<< OMG, that's hilarious. I already like you and I don't even know you. LOL
I'm Mily. I live in Illinois and have been married 23 years. I have two kids (DD-20, DS-17), one in her last year in college and the other in his last year in HS. I have two birds, also, one male and one female parakeets. What kind do you have?
Welcome to the board! Great group of folks here! I'm Amelia and I am a single mom, too. DD is 14 and a freshman, and DS is 11 and goes to a private Montessori school. We don't have any birds, but we do have 4 cats and 2 hamsters.
hi and welcome ... these ladies are great here as you probably witnessed in my last post. I too am a legal secretary. do u work for a criminal office? i just love this board. they got me through this.
Hold on to your hat, Shawna, my ds16 sings in a screamo band too! They were all excited last night because they want to tour this spring, in Los Angeles. Hello? They are all underage, well except for the guitar player who is 19 and goes to the local jr. college. Dh and I felt we had to bring ds back down to reality quickly - no way is he going to LA without a parental unit. Maybe we're over protective. Oh, well.
I work in workers' compensation law (insurance defense) which thanks to the governor has slowed down quite a bit. Two of our attorneys are thinking of going into family law. I only work here part time, and am actually thinking of a career change sometime in the future. I could do this job with my eyes closed, I've done it sooooooo long.
