I'm a registered nurse and I used to be an OB specialist, although I've worked in a number of other fields, but I've been retired for a number of years. My second job was raising 7 kids. I came out of retirement last year for 5 months to take care of my mother, who had Alzheimers, and it was the hardest job I've ever done. I am now comfortably back in retirement from nursing again, and I hope never to go back.
I'm still a homemaker and still very busy. I always thought that after I got the kids graduated from school my life would slow down a bit. Hah! Now I take care of my handicapped brother, babysit my grandkids several days a week, and am trying to handle a house renovation so we can sell it and move out of California so my hubby can retire. Maybe someday things *will* quiet down, but I don't see a lot of chance for the near future. In the meantime, I'm trying to write fanfic just to relax!
