    About Me

    (This has had a monumental shift since my previous posting!) I'm a divorced mother of 2. My daughter is 6, and my son is a year old. I am a part-time paralegal, a part-time English teacher, part-time bookkeeper, and part-time janitor. Yes, that's right, I am doing anything moral and legal to make ends meet! Despite a very VERY rocky road this past year, I love my life and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

    Interests

    literature, particularly American literature crocheting/scrapbooking politics/religion family art and music

      My husband of 13 years left me 3 days after the birth of our son. I am now a single parent to both my children, a daughter of 6 years and my son, 1 year. Spending a year alone has made me realize that my marriage was quite miserable. Sometimes things work out for the best . . .

    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      I'm recently divorced and have two children, a 6 year old daughter and a son who is a year old. My daughter is bright and intelligent - and whiny and demanding. I love her, but she makes me tired sometimes.

      Treatments

      She did GREAT in 4 y.o. kindergarten. But since she's reading now, she gets terribly bored in 5K. Hopefully 1st grade will be better.
