I worked at a group home for the mentally challenged for 12 years. I loved it.
But I quit about 18 months ago because my depression became crippling.
Nobody warned me that if I stayed that long I would turn into one.

I am a preschool teacher at a Nursery School (presently closed for the summer..woohoo!)
I love working with children, only the parents can be stressful(heehee). I worked for 10 years in a government center with very challenging children, I enjoyed it very much, but eventually dealing with alot of sorrow and political CRAP, I switched to an country nursery school (most of the children come from 2 parent families with tons of money). I am hoping to eventually go back to the government center, as I found it much more challenging, but right now the rest is doing me very well!

I'm a stay at home mom of 2 beautiful little itty bitties. My daughter just turned 3 and my son just turned 1 (beg. of July). I cook, do dishes, laundry, wash toilets, vacuum cheerios almost daily, wipe noses and bottoms. I play with play-doh and markers and paints. I pretend I'm a horse and give rides on my back on occasion. I am the VCR tape injecter person, and the snuggle and kiss my owwie person. I am the "take my picture" and make chocolate milk person. I'm the "eat all your veggies" and "pick up your toys" enforcer. I go to parenting classes of my own free will (not court ordered or anything) to try to be a better mom. Hmmm... this should have been a 5 part post if I really listed all the things I do or am! :)

I think those dogs spend more on their clothes than I do. I too am grateful to have a cat. I did once try to put doll clothes on my childhood cat. Once. The wounds have long since healed but it's not a mistake I will ever make again.

Well, let me introduce myself to fellow kitty people. I have 8 cats. It's dangerous for me to even get near an animal shelter. One time I stuck my head in the cattery 'just to see' and ended up driving home with 5 new cats. Found homes for most of them. Even with 6 cats I found myself buying one from Scruffy's or Scoundrel's or whatever it's called. I now try to avert my eyes from such stores while at the mall. I hope this confession doesn't blow my anonimity cover cuz I'm pretty infamous round these parts as being loopy when it comes to the little furry sweethearts. Oooh, a kitty on the ankle, what a wonderful idea! Oh no oh no, where are my car keys? - BarbaraCat
