Any questions?
I'm a single mom, raising a Deaf daughter in the Bay Area. I work, I read, I go to Bible study, I sing in my church Sanctuary Choir, I'm active in the school Parent-Faculty Club, I'm area coordinator for the Girl Scouts, I donate blood platelets to the American Red Cross bi-weekly, I chauffeur my kidlet to gymnastics/ballet/karate practice...and I try to maintain my sense of humor while doing all this. I hope you enjoy these anecdotal glimpses into our crazy, mixed-up little lives!
