My Dreamgirls Make Me Happy

About Me

I'm a short chocolate mama. I can be sweet if treated the right way, but if you anger me, the Taurus bull will come out. I like to laugh. I am silly and use humor to cover my shyness. I can be very sarcastic at times, but I am very compassionate. One day I will have my own music school dedicated to my former teacher the late, great Jennifer Oines. I also want my own dance program in the New York City Public School system. I love any music I can sing and relate to. I have 3 of the most beautiful, intelligent girls on the planet.* ( disclaimer to the idiot who attempts to sue me because their kids are "cuter"- I'm broke) I am married to my complete and total opposite. If we can get it together, we could actually be a powerful force.

My Other Half

Warning for all parents

Warning to parents, and a big derf to myself- when your preschool aged children asks you how to make something, they have EVERY intention of making it. The older 2 young ladies asked me how to make le...
