Just out of the Gate and waddling through

Where to start? It seems that I want to write something, have some purpose, or just have an opportunity to say what's on my mind. Well ,the Internet has allowed anyone and everyone to have that ability so I guess I might give it a try. My name is Robin. I am a wife, a mother, and a nurse. My life has had quite a boring start but I seemed to have made it interesting along the way. My husband has for the last 12 yrs called me Lucy...from," I Love Lucy". Most likely it is because I am always creating trouble, looking for it, or somehow seem to land right in it! This blog I hope will reflect past and present insights, reflections, revelations. We will see~
In 1970, I was in kindergarten and one of the boys was in trouble. Anthony, was his name. Mrs. Cott, our teacher, had him sit in the corner and wear a dunce hat. I was humiliated for him and I cried. When the teacher asked me why I was crying I couldn't tell her.
In fact, I had much difficulty telling anyone what I thought and was not able to express myself verbally or in writing. Surprising to many, I know! There are so many things to talk about so I will have to start somewhere. Hopefully it will not bore you if anyone ever reads this. But if you are just drifting off by the second line please feel free to move on:)
2009 Monday morning. I am off to physical therapy. I have been dealing with lower back pain from 2 bulging discs. It is the most miserable thing to hurt all of the time. I can definitely relate how people can get hooked on pain meds when you hurt all of the time. I went another route for fear of that very thing. So physical therapy it is. More on drugs later.....
