Well I've started to realize that people don't really know much about me. How about a few facts?
1) I'm 22
2) I've lived in Toronto, London (Ontario), Alabama, and California.
3) I'm a substitute teaching in California and have a full time position as an Aide in a classroom with students with behavioral issues.
4) I've moves around for school and for my family (they moved most recently to CA for my father's job) .
- so now with those out of the way, some more recent news. My gradmother on my father's side died last year on the day before my birthday. I am now reliving that (although it is not my birthday) with my other grandmother. She recently has surgery to prevent a stroke, and low and behold she had a stroke right afterwards. Kind of a damned if you do situation. She has been in and out of the hospital, now in.
Between her stroke and diabetes it has left her with little movement in her right side and very slurred speech. My mother is there with her, while I stay here and hold down the fort for my father and brother.
Before this happened so much was going on in my life, school and job issues, possible changes, but now everything seems so inconsequential.
I just want to crawl into bed with the dogs and hide from it all.

Hey there,
I'm sorry about your grandmothers
and the resulting sadness and stress it all brings.
I hope your on line and present friends help you to feel some better.
Your future as an educator will bring you much joy and learning.
Look forward to that.
It is the most important job one can fill.
Thank you for all the lovely comments and reaching out you to to not only me but several friends on line.
You are an amazing lady.
