For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of working at a school. And when I finally landed my job, I thought I’d stay there forever. I loved the atmosphere, my coworkers, and most of all, the kids. I even had the same schedule as my own kids, which made balancing work and family […]
About Me
The In Between
There are 3 parts of my adult life- the before, the in between and the after.
Why I refused his money-
I used to think being financially supported by a man was just the way motherhood was. Hell, my dad went to work and took care of our family while my mom stayed home with us. Boy, was I wrong. As an adult, I now realize that the Avon, Tupperware, and babysitting my mom did was her […]
