: About Me

About me...I'm an army brat. I have two children, one grown, the other just finishing middle school. Both girls. I have a Bachelors degree in Human Services with minors in Psychology and Business Administration. My children and I live with my elderly father. We take care of him. I'm looking for part time work. My dad can't seem to do anything without me. (My mom died last year.)
I like to write. I like to read. I dance for exercise. I'm on a count your calories diet. I want to learn more about cooking and gardening. I attend Church. I love my church members. Enough about me. God Bless!
