I have merchandise that I purchased from the paparazzi company and I sell it online and in person.

This was for my mother-in-law. She had surgery on her stomach, which almost killed her. We moved her in with us and I provide for her in any way that was necessary.

I cooked for her, helped her get dressed, cleaned her room, helped her with showers and other bathroom tasks, along with running any errands, she needed done. Sadly, she passed in August of 2020.

After our son passed away in 2010, I finished two weeks short of a 10 year job at the bowling alley. I just wanted to spend as much time as I could, with our kids, grandkids, and my husband. Our daughter and son-in-law, started college, and also worked, so I started watching the 3 grandkids and needed to do everything for them, from waking them up for school to tucking them into bed.

I started as a telemarketer, and a few months later, I helped with adult tournaments. I also maintained the vending machine's by doing Inventory, pulling money and purchasing the merchandise.

Eight months in, I became the Junior Director. I did everything for the kid leagues, from teaching them to bowl, planned and took care of all the leagues, tournaments and orders. Best job I ever had.
