I am a second
generation American and a native expatriate. I am underpaid, under-educated and
I have a difficult time comprehending why a decent paying job has eluded me for
so many years.
For all intents
and purposes, I am married. Technically, I am single, but when your husband is
imaginary, is it considered a marriage?
I am an aspiring
writer. I use several pseudonyms because I believe they give me an air of
mystery. The more pseudonyms, the bigger the mystery.
I have yet to be
published, but my hopes are high. I recently received an offer for my work to
be published in a reputable publication entitled “Common Mistakes Aspiring
Writers Make.” I am very excited.
In my spare
time, I raise two little boys who are four and five years old. They have single-handedly contributed to my declining health. My doctors tell me I may recover
when my children move out; even then, it is questionable. Unfortunately, my
doctors have given me another sixty years to live, unless I get hit by a bus or
run with scissors.
Until recently,
the doctors have done everything they could to make me more comfortable, and for
that, I am grateful.
I have received
several awards. Unfortunately, Mother of the Year has eluded me. This may be
the fault of my five year old, Michael. When he asked if he could drive my car
because he was a big boy, I believed him. Had he stayed within the lines, we
never would have been pulled over. Then, Child Protective Services got involved
for no apparent reason. I am, however, a driven individual and I do not give up
easily. Michael and I have discussed his mistake, and I am confident, this will
be my year.
