[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251342, member: 1233"] I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in a part of town called Groesbeck. I went to public kdg and then to Catholic School Hades for grades 1-6. In 6th grade I SWORE I wasn't going back and I went to public jr high. My mom was finishing her dissertation at UCincy, and she got a job in Oklahoma. My dad then found a job there also, so we bought a house and moved. Oklahoma was quite a new experience. At that point our town had about 30,000 people when the University was in session (Oklahoma State University - Go Cowboys!!! NOT sooners). There were no schools other than the public schools. My mom threatened to send me to boarding school because the public schools were VERY easy - about 1 1/2 yrs behind where I ahd been in Ohio. I had a fit and threatened to stop eating if they sent me, so that ended that. (I was very underweight at the time, though we were not sure why - NOT an eating disorder.) After high school I got a scholarship and went to UT Austin for college. I grew up a lot, but let the academics slide too much. I already had chronic pain and it really affected what I was able to do and not do. After 3 yrs in Austin I transferred home to OSU. I lived with my parents until husband and I got married about 2 yrs later. I had Wiz in OK in the hospital in our home town. After I graduated I landed a job in Cincinnati and we ended up moving back there! We lived there for 7 years where jessie and thank you were born. Jessie and thank you were born in the same hospital I was born in. With Jessie the doctor who delivered me told me I was pregnant though he didn't do deliveries anymore. But the same nurse was in the labor and delivery room with me through the whole process as was with my mom! It is even the same signature on both hospital birth records! thank you was born there a few years later with a high risk preg doctor and a different nurse (the other one retired 4 months before thank you was born). When thank you was 18 months we moved back to OK so husband could get a grad degree from OSU. We lived with my parents for 3 very interesting years and then bought a house here. husband has a job 70 miles away, but his commute takes less time than the 25 mile commute he had in OH and the 15 mile commute I had in OH! husband flat out refused to move away from this town, and I doubt he ever will move from here. But the schools are MUCH better, we have our supports for the kids set up, and it is a great town to raise kids in. I guess with the exception of 3 yrs in Austin i just bounced back and forth from here to OH! [/QUOTE]
