So many facts(at my age), so little space. I am a single mom/grandma- but NOT FOR LONG.I was married once many years ago,a very long, successful failure- through which I started this degree .NOW,after 20+ years my high school sweetheart found me via social networking and has come to be my knight in shining armour and save me. New car, New House, (No ring yet) , but he is my sweetheart. I plan to finish this ELEM.ED degree, then hope to start working on 2 new projects: First, writing a new curriculum for ADOLESCENT SOCIOLOGY ( to help parents and educators talk to students about the hard things and real life issues), and SECONDLY, plan many ideas&lessons; for intergrating more cultural traditions.

I have been moving the last few weeks, but reading as many childrens books with my daughter as I can. Then I hope to get back the my own reading, THE SHACK, by William p. Young- which has been passed to me by 5 subsequent family members.

My oldest Daughter is in school in Las Vegas to teach, thanks to mom's influence. My middle daughter is a little lost but doing a wonderful job with her new baby. And my youngest daughter, is my handful and blessing.I was never supposed to be able have any more children. She is a very brilliant, ebullient ,exuberant,and mentally ill child. But if you met her you would not think there was anything unusual going on there.

My ears and mind are always open, if anyone needs some inspiring words, PLEASE never hesitate to call on me .
