About Me: 

My childhood nickname was Barbara Jean, the Talking Machine. If that doesn't tell you enough about me....

I grew up in a family of nine children and now teach middle schoolers with all kinds of disabilities. Having survived parenting (through most of the teenage years, anyway)  I've got lots of stories to tell and humor to share. I'm very social and love connecting with people from all walks of life.
