HomeRedPenn (Lynne M-S) Oct 28, 2008
Mother of grown children, married, teacher at all compulsory education levels, took a break and went back to college for an Info-Sys degree (but they renamed it before I finshed, so it's a BICTApp degree; which pusses me off ever so slightly), then lectured at college level.
Totalling all the part-time, after school and holiday work I've done, I've worked at a little bit of everything, over 35 jobs! Helps when you've got a post as career advisor in senior secondary school (LOL).
Currently unemployed and fed up being so, I turn my hand to writing (three books begun, lots of "practice" tasks, prose or poems), trying to look after orchids, photography and trying to find new "real live" friends here in the town we moved to in 2K10.
Not permitted to drive (meds), so 'net friends and surfing are important, if only to stop me going battier than I am.

I'm told I am an unconventional mum, and I know I had moments of being an unconventional teacher. But guess which two positions have given me most pride.

Thank you; work your way around, see what you like, make contact, and let's share
