I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. I've raised our two daughters while also working outside the home over the past 40 years as a medical secretary, switchboard operator, accounting clerk, office manager, private secretary to a kayak designer/manufacturer, mini school bus matron, and finally a stay-at-home quilter. Life is good, retirement is near.

Gave up a job of 12 years as animal shelter manager to babysit (boysit) my 3 grandsons for the past 6 years. Next year, they will all be in school full-time. What will I do then? :(

Now? I'm an office manager for a storage facility and Uhaul dealership. In my past? I've been:

A stay at home mom
Nurse's aide and home care aide
Cook
Cashier/Manager
mechanic (just simple stuff tho)
EMT
Casino runner/Casino Manager
Over the road trucker

What I'd most like to be doing? Housewife. ~sigh~
