I am an elementary school teacher for the 4th and 5th grades. I teach a combined class of around 20 students for all subjects. This can be complicated, but it works out. My husband helps me as my aide half a day in the morning. I like doing simple art and crafts with my class. This school year and last have both been interrupted years with hurricanes and with Covid making us have to do part of the year with at home learning. It is not the same doing packets and computer lessons- I much prefer the in class learning! My students agree!

Mom of 4, 3 girls and one boy. (Ages 7, 10, 12 and 15) Kids keep me busy with their activities which include piano, tae Kwon do, and horseback riding.

The three youngest are at the same school as my husband and I. My oldest daughter is doing virtual online high school for her sophomore year.

Lutheran Pastor wife. My husbands full time job is being a Pastor. Our church has restarted our services but my husband still records his sermons and puts them on Facebook and YouTube as not all are ready to resume attending due to concerns with Covid.

Galveston area original hometown now a NOLA (New Orleans, LA) girl.

Always keeping busy. Sometimes too busy. My house is frequently a mess. I try.

My classroom is beach themed so I feel home away from home.

I have a pet red eared slider turtle named Hawk.

We have 7 cats. Two are Siamese. Two are black. One is a tortoiseshell, one is a tabby, and one is black and white. The oldest one, my first Siamese, is 19. The youngest is also a Siamese.

We also have 4 dogs. Two I inherited from my grandma. The inherited dogs are a min pin and a long haired chihuahua and my other 2 are a jack tsu and a spaniel.
