Don't be so humble - you are not that great. - Golda Meir (1898-1978) to a visiting diplomat

About Me

I've had a full life so far...first as a very free and independant (also hyper, and quite often stupid) young woman...and now as a very dedicated mother and wife. Although we drive each other crazy sometimes, I enjoy my husband Greg. We complement one another very well. I spend a lot of time with my children. I want them to feel secure and loved. I am in process of teaching them to be responsible,and stay the loving children that they are. I want them to want to do this too...I've started working after being home for five years, and the job is requiring more hours than I had bargained for. I've also returned to college to get a masters in education and my teacher licensure. On the side I enjoy good music, art, books, and movies.
