Here are 7 things about me:

1. I'm not a morning person.  I'm not a late night person.  I'm an afternoon person...and I've never really heard anyone else describe themselves as one.
2. I love being a special education teacher.  I think it is my calling in life.
3. I have three gregarious and precocious teenagers whom I love more than the breath that I draw.
4. I'm diligently working on my Day Zero Project (101 int 1001) and I really hope that I will be successful in completing all of my goals.
5. I am very non-confrontational.  I dislike arguing and strife, and wish that everyone would just get along with one another.
6. My favorite number is 61.  I was born in 1961 and the house that I grew up in was at 61 Lynn Avenue.
7. My girls and I love to work on craft projects.  We are always willing to try out new artsy ventures with our newest being pumpkin painting.
