Not real sure what I was in search for,  my main concern was to get away from Tony and his family. So 1000 miles later, we arrive at my mother's home.  They had agreed that I could live with them and get my GED and then find work. 

It was rather funny,  since I didn't drive, we had to figure some way for me to get to and from the school.  So my mother talking to, of course, her hairdresser.  They discovered that her younger brother had never gotten his high school diploma either..... So there the story goes...

She comes home to tell me that she had solved my problem. And proceeds to tell me about Nancy's younger brother Tim.  And that they didn't expect anything to come out of this, except a way for me to get back and forth to school.  But mother goes on to say that she has seen him and he is a nice looking guy.

I told her "Mother .... that is the last thing I needed was a man"  Especially after just getting out of the hell hole of a marriage. She tells me not to worry.

So a couple days go by, and I receive a phone call.  Tim wanted to know what time I would be ready to leave for the first class.  I said I would be ready just as soon as my mom got home to watch my son.  He said ok... he would be there at about 6:30.  I said that was fine and we said good bye.

The first night of school came, and Tim shows up at my door.  I wasn't ready for this....... I opened the door to see a blond, blue eyed hunk in a cream colored sweater covering a nice looking tanned chest, and jeans that he must have been poured into.  I thought.... WOW...... this is too much.  My Mother just had to make things worse...... She pops in the room and says you two have fun, and stop and have a toddy and get to know each other.  I'm thinking GREAT GOING MOM...... the man hadn't said two words and already she has him taking me out for drinks.
