Life's a kicker-but God helps me back up!

Not sure what to put in my blog but here goes! I am a mother,wife,dog lover with a creative side who enjoys life each day. I am very thankful for where I am in my life that is where God has placed me @ this time!  I have been blessed with 4 great sons!! I am not always pleased with their choices they make but I can't hold their hand or make choices for them! Hopefully they'll learn from their unwise choices they make as well as my deepest heart desire for them to come to personally accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior! As hard as life can be only Jesus has been their for me,giving me strenghth,and hope that carrys me thru  valley's. He has removed mountains in my life! I may explain perhaps at another time those mountains that were removed.  
My sons are as follows: Manuel is 23 who is working and going to MATC buts plans to transfer to UWM.He's dating a great gal who's going to school as well! Then there's Jesse who is 23 who is my FBI want a be,going to school and working as well. My Norbert who is 21 is currently in Japan for 2 years as a Marine fire fighter.He will still have 2 more years active duty and 4 inactive.His choice was a hard one for me to accept!! I cryed when he 1st told me he enlisted.I had several more cleansing moments following that day.Both my hubby and I had approached his brothers stating that one enlistment is enough for our family!!Time will tell!  Adam is a senior in HS and turns 18 this month! My baby becomes a young adult!Sniff,sniff!!
I work with golden era clients! I love interacting with them at different levels! Best job I ever had!
Its been challenging mentally and physically many a time especially when I first stated working there! My 1st year,1st winter there was a bad flu going around to staff and clients as well. We were very short staffed and wanting to go above to the call of duty I overdid my reality abilities and was effected physically that set me back in giving me less limitations! I've had carpal tunnel since the birth of my last son. I tend to be hard on my using my hands so I've been on a roller coaster with ups and downs at different levels of challenges with the use of my hands! My worst I would have to say was when my kids were grade school At one point I was unable to push a shopping cart so I planned my trips w/ my kids so they could push the cart.
 I think I started a 2nd shift cleaning job to pay for treatments that our insurance would'nt cover. My checks pretty much covered the visits.I went there a little over a year,every week,till he put me on a calcium supplement and vitamin c to enhance the treatments which did the trick.  I hated that job,a supervisor position that paid .50 more for a stress headache! My son Jesse said he missed me so much as when they were coming home from school it would be time for me to go to work! His statement effected me deeply so i was
determend to change shifts!  I reluctently took a 3rd shift job @ a Rescue mission.I did'nt mind the work so much as it had its rewards from homeless moms w/ their kids but I could never seem to get enough substantial sleep to function well during the day so after a year I decided to back to school. I worked a 3rd shift job that allowed studying time and went to school during the day. School lasted several weeks which I then started my job changes which led me to where I'm @ now!
