I am mother to 4 children, step-mother to 2, grandmother to 18, and great-grandmother to 10 children so far. I worked in childcare for 25 years. First in my own state licensed day care home and then in 2 state licensed day care centers. I worked as the Coordinator and music director in the first one for one year, and in the second one I worked as a 'floater', as the substitute cook, as a head teacher and finally as the book keeper and Coordinator. I was covering our south and west locations for 15 years. Unfortunately, love, hugs and shaping young lives doesn't pay much so I spent the next 21 years working at the University of Missouri at the Division of IT where I learned all about technology. I'm almost able to keep up with these great grand-children.
