    • About Me

      I am the mother of two boys. 11 and 14. I have been married for 18 yrs. I raise standard poddles and goldendodles. we have lots of other pets. I am a teacher. Right now I am studying to pass my praxis exams for recertification. So I am not working. Staying home alone should be a wonderful experience after all these years filled with loving, noisy kids. I was subing and then teaching in a private school. I hate the quiet, except late at night. I suspect I have always suffered mild depression. I have a degenerative disease called hypermobile joint syndrom. I am very flexable. This causes my spine and pelvis to slip in and out of position easily. mostly out. This has caused nerve damage in my left leg. I have found an effective treatement for the lax ligaments, called prolotherapy. It is a rear field and hard to find a good doc. I have always been strong and active. easy to mask the degenerating ligaments with stronge musels. (That is spelt wrong sorry) We want a third child but after 7 years of trying we have pretty much given up.

    • Interests

      I love my kids and their stuff cub scouts, boyscouts, baseball and band. I play the cello, but not very well anymore. I am teaching myself to play the panio. I love animals. All sorts of them. Cats, dogs, turtles. I have even taught our snapping turtle to come by name. It is too bad he is getting to big and we must donate him to the nature center. He was a rescue turtle. photography, gardening and needle work pretty much round it out. These last few things I do just for me!!!!
