I loved reading what everyone does - was Jaspersmom really a rock star???

I am an Escrow Officer - I handle all of the paperwork when you buy or sell your home or refinance your mortgage. So all you mortgage brokers out there, when you have a deal in California, give me a call! :-) I am also a licensed Real Estate Agent - but I'm non-practicing - so I can give you advice and guidance if you have any questions.

It's lots of paper, but I love my job!

I am a student--kind of. Just graduated from college. I am taking a break for now. I hope I will be going to grad school next year. I want to get my PhD and do whatever my heart feels like doing in 6 years. At the moment I am doing the applications and the GREs, which is NOT fun one bit. Hubby is also a student. He is trying to become a vet, which is good, because I intend to have many many animals like Yorkies, and cats, and ferrets, and goats, and chicken, and mini horses, and llamas, and turtles, and fishies, and a mongoose. Will save a lot of money with a vet-in-residence LOL

I do nothing, and have perfected the art of doing nothing...I have always depended on "the kindness of strangers" as Blanche said in Streetcar..in my case the kindness of my husband. LOL

PS..I was thinking of a part time job and looked in the paper..one caught my eye...Model wanted, OLDER and WISER..hmmmm what could that be?

I am a csr in a call center. We take calls from people about their ER dr visits. I love it, except the mean people who cuss me out. Not my fault they have a dr bill they need to pay.

Right now I am a the 3-11p shift Supervisor of a residential program for Autistic and behavorially challenged kids, ages 6-21. The kids live there on campus. It's a hard job, most of these kids don't have parents and are the wards of the state. A lot of them don't have much clothing, so donating is a very big thing at my job. A lot of my staff "adopt" a child and provide as much as they can for that specific kid.

I'm still in college though....(Temple University, go Owls!!!!). I'm studying Psychology and hope to be a Clinical Child Psychologist for Autistic children.

I love my job!!!

What a great job you have. As the mother of a 10 year old high functioning Autistic child I know how challenging and hard it can be at times.

Good Luck in college. I'm in college to be a special needs teacher. Seeing everything that my son has had to overcome and the friends in his class. I was so awed by his achievements and the achievements that he continues to make that I decided to go back to college.

Anyway sorry for rambling.

Great cause. Congrats and good luck. What part of WV are you from. My husband is orginially from Beckley. He still has family that lives there. Just curious.

Welcome, I noticed that you just joined this month.

Jenn218 · 08-18-2006, 10:25 AM

I'm a proud stay at home mother of a "tween" daughter and a little Yorkie boy (plus a German Sheppard and a Black Lab). I have homeschooled now for several years and love it.

I also help run my husbands classic car restoration business (appointments, show information, etc) and sell online too.

I also take a few online classes in my spare time (when/if there is ever any). I spend two days a week with each of my grandparents (taking them to doctor appts, errands, helping around their house and just visiting with them, while I can).

We active in several groups and activies (from car clubs to gymnastics to guitar), so we are always on the run with those and helping with fundraising events or other events. We also volunteer at our local animal services. (walking the dogs, donating items, taking pictures and writing descriptions for each pet).

Prior to staying home, I worked at our local elementary and high school with the special ed. / special needs children and also as office support. While being a girl scout leader, cheerleading/pom coach and assitant basketball coach.

Prior to that, I worked at our local university in the housing dept. Started out working with the graduate students and then working with the incoming freshman. (planning schedules, events, tours, billing, etc)

Small world. Where did you move from? My husband grew up in Richlands, I'm orginially from Whitewood(Buchanan Co).

Are you enjoying it in Bluefield. From experience Bluefiled during the winter always seems colder then The rest of the places around there.

Hope you like it there.

Congrats on graduating college!! Are you going to finish grad school before you start your career? I've heard some stories that it's better to get your job, then go back to grad school because companies don't want to hire someone w/ a masters and no experience. They don't want to have to pay for that.

Thanks for the compliment!!!

Good luck to you as well in school.

And trust me....you have the hardest job, being a mom to a special needs child. And I can see you're a great mom!!!
