State 7 things about yourself.

So to begin with.....here are 7 things about myself:
1. I teach Pre-K in a state funded program open to every four year old in the state of Georgia. I have taught and worked with children for about 18 years now.
2. I have been blogging since January and am in awe of some of the fantastic places I go and people I am meeting in the blogging world!
3. I have been married to my great husband for 21 years (and we were together for 5 years before that)!
4. I have two beautiful daughters, ages 19 and 12.
5. I am the mother of an autistic child and support/participate in many of the autism awareness groups.
6. I have a great big family of a brother and 6+ sisters (15 nieces and nephews) .....and we all get along!!
7. I think I have ABSOLUTELY the best job in the world. I may not get paid much, but the fringe benefits are AWESOME! Where else can you go to work each day and dance, do art, play games, have snack and get hugs regularly AND get paid for it? PRE-K ROCKS!!!!
