natnalexsmom I was a teacher...teacher other kids all day long. Loved the job of sharing the gift of reading to 1st graders. When given this opportunity to stay home I glady left my job. I do plan to go back to teaching (maybe just as a sub) once both kids get in school.

roseygoodman @roseygoodman (53) • United States 18 Sep 08

I was a stay at home mom while my children were young. I can't say I really missed adult conversation because I was involved with our church. I took my responsibility very seriously and enjoyed every second with each of my 5...

natnalexsmom Oh Wow I have too many! I guess one that come to mind first is "How Great Is Our God". Singing songs for me is a great way of worship and so many have helped me through different circumstances in my life. It seems I can always find a worship song to help me.
