I am passionate about my children and being a better parent than the examples I had to look to. I love to learn new things and get very excited when new information can make me a better person/teacher/mom/friend. I love bowling. I love teaching and my students. I am very much enjoying my new found happiness/confidence and my rising self-esteem.

The most influential person in my life (before my kids came along) was my best friend and first love. He taught me to love myself and to know that I am worth loving; and that even in pouring rain I was the most beautiful person he'd ever met.

I love to go bowling and spend time talking with my friends. Shopping is fun and you don't always have to buy something. Relaxing with a good book and unwinding from a stressful day at work are great things to do as well.

I am intuitive and introspective, always looking for ways to improve my life, or the lives of my family and friends. I am for the most part outgoing and funloving, but yet there are moments when I am quiet and still and just need to be cuddled. I am a great listener and a pretty darn good friend. I have been through too much in my life to ever let myself be beaten down by much of anything. The one obstacle that I can't seem to overcome is any kind of long term organization. No matter how hard I work at it...well, lets just say it is one thing I may never overcome. But hey, we can't be perfect at everything...how on earth would we find that one someone who compliments ourselves in the best possible ways.
