~*~Just A Little Drama~*~

Family? Bah, humbug.  Well my kids and grand kids are great.  But there are a number of family members who believe that I'm a lesbian.  I'm not.  The thing is that I just can't tell them, "My ex is the reason that I became divorced, but it's my brother-in-laws that gave me pause to stay single for 27 years."

  My baby sister is divorced from her list of husbands.  My other younger sister between me and my baby sister is married to the same man who impregnated her when she was 15.  That was the only baby she ever had, because her husband's issues gave her pause to think it might not work out well if she had more kids.  She's worked since her daughter was born and been the sole breadwinner during most of the past 36 years.

Her husband is disabled, but not too disabled to go hunting and fishing or hanging out with his "friends".  He doesn't qualify for any kind of program for the disabled because my sister makes too much money.  Now my sister is getting ready to retire.  I've warned her that she'll go right back to work because she's use to having all that money.  Oh well to each their own.  My concern is that she'll retire and finally get to know her husband.

Sometimes a person is just a lot happier not knowing.  If you're an intelligent adult you probably have experienced something like this.

My other sisters didn't fair any better in the husband department.  So over the years when I would start to miss having a husband, I'd just spend time with my sisters who without knowing reminded me why I'm so much happier being fully in charge of my life.

I know that not all men are losers.  My sons are men and they're great guys.  Of course I did dedicate my life to raising them to be happy people.  There are a good guys at my church.  I just feel like with all the health problems I've developed over the years it would be unfair to inflict myself on a good guy.  I certainly don't want to marry another loser.  So this is me. 

I am definitely not a lesbian.  I have enjoyed many relationships over the years.  Being able to move on without hating  each other's guts is not common from what I've seen, but I've always been able to do that.  I don't want a husband.  I don't want a live in boyfriend.  In the midst of menopause, I don't even want a boyfriend right now.

I'm happy, and I believe that is what life should be about.  No headaches for me, just a little drama from time to time with family members believing that I'm a lesbian.

LOL
Love,
