Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to anyone interested in reading this. I seem to have some free time today and thought I would use it to do something productive. Ok, to be honest, I am posting this because the site is down at the moment and I needed something to do while I was waiting for it to come back up. So here it goes:
My name is Melissa and I am 26 years old. I live here in the "armpit" of California, otherwise known as Bakersfield. I have 2 kids, both boys. My oldest son, Eric, is almost 12 years old. I didn't give birth to this one but guess what, I still consider him my baby. Met the little dude when he was only 4 1/2 years old. His mom had passed away a few months earlier and he was still adjusting to living with his dad (my boyfriend). He's been "mine" ever since. My youngest son, James, is just 2 years old and acts like, well he acts like a 2 yr old boy. I can honestly say that he is the main reason that I am somewhat addicted to the DD website. Ever since he was born I have found myself being so much more affected by some of the tragic news stories that are in the papers. Sadly, a lot of the stories that I read about involve little babies who are around the same age as my son. These stories have always made me sad but they hit me so much harder now that I have kids. You find it hard not to compare these victims to your own kids and that makes it even more hard to imagine how a person could hurt them.
I cried when they announced to me that I was having another boy because I wanted to have at least 1 daughter. I feel that I dodged a bullet cuz I won't have to deal with all that "Chick Drama" that you get from daughters.
Moving on..I don't work. I am one of those "lucky" ones who get to stay at home with their kids. I have no idea what I am going to do when that youngest one starts school. I'll have to take up a hobby or something, maybe I'll try tatting or gardening.
I share closet space with a pretty awesome dude. His name is David and he has one of the greatest personalities that I have ever come across (and being married to the guy doesn't make that statement biased at all). He is a plumbing contractor and is successful enough that we keep the bills paid and still have some to play with. I am grateful for that. We do use some of that money for good causes too. I like to donate to those in need. Even panhandlers, I figure if they are willing to sit there and ask everyone that walks by for spare change then they deserve it. I mean, most people I know wont even ask strangers for directions let alone money. Speaking of donating, is the contributions we make to this site TAX DEDUCTIBLE? Kidding.
Anyways, thanks for the site. I appreciate the fact that all this information is so thoroughly collected into one site. Being able to read and comment on these stories with people who have similar thoughts on the topics is even more valuable.
Ok, there, that's about it. Is the DD site back up yet?
