Hi Trux,

Yep, that is the truth. I am not giving up on writing, but I need to eat and pay bills.

And I'm keeping my eyes open with this man. I've already had a couple of people ask me if he's treating me okay. One of those people was his mother.

In your post your wrote "I'm with a company that allows pets, so eventually my little dog will come with me." This really caught my eye as the only thing holdig me back is the idea of leaving my little Shih-Tzu. I am able to be on the road 52 weeks out of the year IF I can have my 'litte guy' with me.
Please email me when you have time [and don't mind] sharing the name of a company that allows a driver to take a dog with them.


Thanking you in advance,

~bamamom~

Or EQUALLY UNFAIR :!:

Since you already have time invested in nursing, I would suggest, very seriously, that you finish that before anything else. Get your STATE BOARD CERTIFICATION. Then, go back into the trucking and see how you like it. See if you are going to be able to make the money you need, and have the home time to take care of the normal things there. If that does not work out, you can always go back to work in a hospital or clinic. It gives you TWO options. That's far better than a whole lot of people out here have. Right now, you have quite a financial investment in nursing. To stop now could mean throwing that away. I don't know about you, but I could never afford to throw that much away.

And, if you do decide to throw that away, can you let me know where so that I can come along and pick it up???
