Guess I gotta start somewhere....

I'm kind of new to blogging so bear with me.

I am a middle aged woman who lives with her mother. No, I'm not a loser.. well not totally.. I'm her caregiver. My mother is 89 years old and dementia has started to set in, so some days are better than others (for both of us).

I have a 23 year old son who attends college back home (where I lived before I moved here to take care of my mom). His father and step-mother are still living there so at least he's not alone. I miss him terribly though.

Most of my life has been spent in Northwestern Canada and mostly in small cities or towns. The town I'm currently in is the smallest I've ever lived in.. only about 1500 permanent residents and another 500 transient residents (guys that work for the oil companies on rigs or as pipeliners, welders, etc). I call it Hicksville or Redneckville. You know the place.. where everyone drives a 4x4 truck, have nothing better to do than get drunk and obnoxious during their off hours, every 2nd word out of their mouths is a cuss word, and they go out in the bush and shoot rifles at any creature that moves just for the hell of it.. that kinda place. Not really my kind of town. Though I do have lots of relatives here (oh yippee.. can you tell I'm thrilled), and most of them are hicks/rednecks, so I am learning to put up with their crap to a degree. I refuse to participate though.

Anyway.. that's it for now.. it's a start. Hope I won't bore you too much with my mini novels.

Peace.
