Welcome!

I started this blog to talk about life as a special needs mom and life as a special needs teacher. I'd love to post things that are going on with me as the mother of an 11 year old with aspergers and as a teacher of middle school students with cross cat disabilities. I'd love to hear from other people who are striving, like me, to be a great mom and a great contributor to future societies by teaching. I LOVE teaching and I LOVE being a mom! I am made to do both, but some days, both are hard! Some days, I would love to hear, hey...I've been through that. Some days, I'd love to not feel alone in my struggles. I'd also love to share my joys. There are days when something happens with my kids or my job that I just burst to share. Sometimes, I think the only people who will truly feel this joy might be complete strangers who love education and parenting as much as me. I love to read, I am constantly reading for pleasure and for learning. I love young adult books, I love mysteries, I love books about getting kids fired up about learning. I love to read! So, I am starting a blog. I'm not sure how great this will be but I'm starting it anyway. Maybe we can grow and share together!
