My name is Cindy and I'm from Iowa. Well, actually I was born in Omaha Nebraska but moved from there when I was 4, so the only place I've ever called home is wonderful Iowa. I 'grew up' in Carroll and then journeyed out of my element to the big city of Des Moines. From there I tried Marshalltown, which may be lovely to some, but I didn't flourish there. Back to Des Moines, and finally settling in the little town of Melcher-Dallas to raise my children and see what I could contribute to my section of the world.
I am 40. A year and a half ago I had bariatric surgery. "Roux en Y" done laproscopically. I've lost around 120 lbs. I wonder how I've made it this far. In a flash it has all gone by and I've come to know many things.
I have three children who are the most amazing people on the planet. Each is different in their own way and surely it's not because of me. Despite me, maybe. At any rate...I feel confident in saying that they are truly great people who will do wonderful things.
I am single. Divorced, widowed...does it really matter what has happened in the past? Most certainly not. It does shapes who I am. Will the past repeat itself? I try hard not to let it. Moving forward.
I found the job of my dreams. I work for an animal shelter currently as the shelter personnel supervisor. I've been a care tech, a health tech, a supervisor of medical, the 'front desk, and caretechs and now Soon to be animal control person. My boss says I have ADD. Finally!! Someone has a diagnosis for why I am never satisfied for more than a couple of years. Onward and upward. Before I would skip from job to job and really enjoy those experiences but would soon tire of the same routine day after day. Here I have been able to switch jobs within a job and never tire of it. I want to make the lives of animals better. I took this job because people used to really annoy me and I didn't want to deal with them. Anymore I've discovered that people are everywhere (amazingly enough) and they aren't all really so bad. We're all ignorant of something and we all have something to contribute to the next person's experience along the road of life. The shelter has been a wonderful place for me and I wish to tell everyone in the world that they should adopt their next pet from a shelter.
