    I have a beautiful floral skirt. It has many folds of light-weight fabric that swish when I walk and is very feminine. I was wearing it today when I used the restroom after school and then rushed off to help Kendall put on her makeup for the musical (encore performance).     Read more >

    "Hi! It's Dad," said the warm, senior voice on the other end of the line.And just for a tiny second, I pretended that he really was my dad, just calling to check in and say hi.  What a sweetheart, I thought; he sounded really glad to hear my voice. Maybe he wanted to make dinner plans or ask me how I was doing during these last few days of the school year.  Maybe he was just calling to tell me he loved me, or to ask what I've been up to lately.    Read more >

    Caring for Elderly Parents

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.
