About me

Gender Female
Industry Consulting
Location Round Rock, TX, United States
Introduction I am a happily married (to Hubby!) mother of 4. Our company went under in 2011, so I'm job hunting and want to go back to working in Social Work (I got my Masters degree 20 years ago). We finally adopted our special needs teenagers in 2008 - a brother (Bear, age 19) and sister (Kitty, age 17). They have been in our home since November 2006 (an adoptive placement when they were age 11 and 13). We have two younger bio children, a daughter (Bob - see the post "What about Bob" if you're dying to know how she got her nickname -age 16) and a son (Ponito, 14). We use a discipline technique called the FAIR Club. I maintain my Meanest Mom in the World status by sharing it with as many parents as I can!
Interests special needs parenting, adoption, reading (romance, science fiction, parenting books, everything...), interior design, book editing, custom sewing, playing on my computer (addicted to blogs, Facebook and list serves)
Favorite Movies Princess Bride, The Pirate Movie, Undercover Blues.
Favorite Music Contemporary Christian Rock
Favorite Books Funny - fantasy, science fiction, romance, doesn't matter. I just want it to have a happy ending!
