What a versatile group we are!!! Gee, I am gonna sound dull ... I teach 5th grade --(used to teach high school Math) - love the kids and dislike the administration (Mayor Bloomberg and Joel Klein).... I have been on a sabbatical lately b/c after my husband passed on I was unable to concentrate .... But I still have that yen to be with children ... I try to go read to the little ones at the library at least once a month, but I have to fight the "reclusive" instinct.
I am an honorary "auntie" to many of my former students' kids .... since some of my kids have had kids by 16, I even have had some of their children in my class (Ouch, that hurtz to say even) ... One of my former students is on Broadway in "THE DROWSY CHAPERONE"-- He was nominated for a TONY as best supporting actor -- go see the show ... hez great! (Adolpho)
I am the proud mommy of a daughter who is going to Graduate School to be a teacher (surprise!!!) ... really though, I tried to gear her toward ophthalmology but she was not all that interested (she said she did not want to spend her life saying "One or Two?") .... She worked as a pharmaceutical tech but did not like the hours ... and we all know that good teachers (like good nurses) are sorely needed. She loves kids also.

And, of course, I am the happy mommy of two furbabies, Monday (4 years) and Friday (3 months)!!!!
