Let me introduce myself

Hi! My name is Susan. I am not much of a writer, but I love to read. Hopefully I have picked up some of the talent of my favorite writers, at least enough to make this interesting.

I am, first and foremost, a mom. I have a 20 yr old dread-locked son. He got his super curly hair from his father. He had the most beautiful ringlets, but he let them turn into natural dreads. I think they look like something the cat coughed up but he likes them. He says that he is going to dress up as a pineapple for halloween by spraying his dreads green and knotting them on top of his head and wearing a yellow t-shirt. OK, whatever floats your boat dear!

My daughter is 12 going on 20. She is as tall as I am but her feet are twice as big as mine. Does that mean she is going to be twice as tall as me? She is into clothes, texting, and dance, the same as all 12 yr olds.

I have been a nurse for 14 yrs. I work with a lot of Nurse Practitioners at the clinic. I am exceedingly tired of living check to check so I decided to go back to school and become a Nurse Practitioner myself. I hope to make enough to start putting more back for retirement. I am way behind on that. My Ex screwed me out of everything (but your honor, how can I give 70% of the house to her when I let it go into foreclosure, and how can I give her 1/2 of the 401K when I already cashed it out snorted it up my nose?). He is also not paying any childsupport. I guess that is pretty hard to do when you have been unemployed for 2 years and either in detox or rehab.

So, this is my life. I hope I can bring funny patient stories to entertain you, my version of the news to inform you, and my jaded but caring nursing advise to help you thru your day!

My nursing advise for today is BRUSH YOUR TEETH! You would be surprised how a dirty mouth can affect your health (and your love life).
