Im ellen, originally from lubbock. jim and I married fresh outta high school and I started havin babies right off. jim studied and became a veterinarian, only to run off with a nineteen year old horse trainer. I was left with three kids, no money and no skills. things got so bad, I didnt want to live anymore, until someone slipped a card under our front door - it said will powers. I turned it over, it said, the greater your problem, the greater your opportunity. somethin clicked between my heart and my mind. today my kids attend the best private school in dallas, while I run 95 day care centers throughout the great state of texas. incidentally I got a lot of boyfriends.
