My 11 VERY Random Facts
1.
Throughout High School and most of my
college career, I would have NEVER considered going into teaching. I decided to
substitute because it was flexible and provided my family with a little extra
money. I guess God knew where I needed to be before I did, because I was
offered a job teaching Special Education 1 month before I even graduated. The school secured a sub for the first month
of school, while I completed my classes.
I then pursued all of my education courses during the evenings and
on-line.
2. My husband and I are high
school sweet hearts. We have been
together for a total of 20 years and have been married for 13 years.
3. My husband and I have
three sons. 16, 12 and 7. My middle son has Aspergers. More on this at a later time.
4. Growing up I studied
Ballet and loved to be in the spotlight and the center of attention. Yeah…I was one of those girlsJ
5. Evidently, I’m one of
those people who wears my emotions on my sleeve. I’m not really good at “faking it”, and I am
really trying to work on this. I have been told this is a BAD trait to have.
6. I probably have ADD.
7. I am most definitely a procrastinator.
8. I love to experiment with
new recipes. On the other hand, my
family does NOT love this. When they ask
what’s for dinner and I tell them I’m trying something new, the collective
moans and groans are pretty discouraging.
But not as discouraging as my husband picking up the phone and calling
Papa Johns.
9. I lOVE the OBX, but don’t
get to go nearly enough.
10. I am a fighter! Not a punch you in your face kind of person,
but someone who fights their way through adversity and fights for what they
believe is right. I enjoy a challenge
and seem to thrive under pressure. I
guess you can say, I’m kind of an odd ballJ
