About Me
I had been teaching for 13 years at the elementary level in the state of Michigan. I have two children, one boy and one girl both are austic. My main goal as a mother is to find the resources necessary for them to be able to live "normal" lives.
Interests
I'm kind of an eclectic in my interest. I enjoy the fine arts. I particularly like creating pottery, and sculpture. I also play the piano, and clarinet. Scrapbooking has been my only creative outlet lately. I also enjoy read. Hockey, softball, and volleyball are sports that I like to play.

Open Single Parenting
I'm a single parent with two autistic children. I divorced my husband because he was cheating on me. Our divorce was final in Jan. although it's had been over a year since I kicked him out of the house. I'm actually a lot happier now. Although, it's difficult at times to deal with everything on my own. I'm thankful for a very supportive family and friends.
