A Little About Me

Sharky and Screed
Johannesburg, South Africa
October 23, 2017 3:34am CST
As you can see I come from South Africa and I am 37 years old. I am currently a stay at home mom who is trying to run my own social media marketing business, but it is harder than I thought. I have an 8 year old son, who is almost 9 my ex and I separated when my son was 1. I did not get involved with anyone for years. Then last year December I started dating someone who I have known for 10 years, and I am in a relationship again. We are currently living together. I love writing poetry, I love cooking and baking occasionally. My son is my world. My Beau has a 20 year old daughter. We have a house full of animals. Lol. 1 bird, a fish tank full of fish, which is my sons. Three small dogs which is my Beau’s. 2 Cats, One is my sons (Sharky) grey and white the other is my Beau’s daughters (Screed) black and white. Well that is a little about me, I am sure you will learn more as I share discussions. The photo above is of our two cats.

@Chantiele No. We do not have pets. We want a dog but we live in a rented house. When we build our own house, I am going to take care of my pets

@LadyDuck I Agree, over the weekend they caught a sparrow. I know that it is an instinct but I feel so bad for the birds

Welcome. It's nice to learn a little more about other Mylotters. I'm retired from owning, running, managing a busy bridal shop. Now I run around looking after my elderly (91) father, my husband of 42 years and my children and grandchildren.....plus we have a major move planned for May.

Hello and welcome to our friendly community. I just turned 60 this past summer and am now focusing the "me" factor of my life. Our 2 year old granddaughter lives with us, so as you can imagine, I am quite busy. I work full-time as a personal care attendant for a local non-profit VNA. Have been doing this work for over 10 years now. Can't wait to retire though! I am married to a hard working man for the past 6 years (although I just found out he took the day off to go hunting). I have 4 adult children, 4 grandchildren and one on the way!

@Chantiele Hubby is still hunting after work and on the weekends. Still no deer. He only brings home the story of the ones that weren't within his range.

Whoaah, dear new friend, that is information one too many. I have to caution you that not everybody on mylot could relate with you and take kindly on you. Your family story is private, so do not divulge as much. Just one unsolicited advice from a well-meaning friend. We can be transparent without telling each and every detail. Please, just for your own good,
