Where in the H*ll is my millionaire?

My life for the past few years has resembled a soap opera or harlequen novel. In those shows and books, the beautiful, sexy, young heroine ends up in the arms (and bed) of the handsome young multi millionaire. Ha Ha..so much for real life.

Just a quick overview of the last 10 yrs: On this date 10 years ago, my kids were ages 19, 15, 11, and the bonus baby was 5...yes you read that correct. Which means the same time I was trying to teach the oldest to drive a car, I was treaching the youngest to use the potty.

We were still renting a house, I was working nights at Wally World, and dh was at some job he had taken out of college in 1984. All of our parents and siblings were alive. My mother had ovarian cancer, but it was in remission. They caught it early while still encapsulated.

Money was tight, the house was chaotic, 3 of the kids (19, 11, and 5 yr old) all had severe asthma and the 5 yr old had IBS as well, but our lives seemed like normal lower middle class lives in a normal middle of the country town.

No clue that very shortly we would be starring in a made for tv movie that would never get approval because it would be too unbelievable..but life sometimes is a bitch.
