Hi, my name is Cara. I live in Richmond, VA. Sometimes I don’t even know who I am any more, so I’ll start with the past (in list format!)
- I was born in 1965
- i grew up jewish but now attend a UU church and am sort of atheist
- I attended 5 colleges, with majors ranging from EE to psych, but never got a degree
- I lived on a hippy commune for 3 years, in MO
- When i finally became productively employed, i found my niche in database programming, especially datamarts and data warehouses, using Access and Oracle
- I have a lot of food allergies, as do my boys
- I am now a SAHM, homeschooling my younger two
My kids (numbered, for those of us who don’t like counting)
- Heron, my first-born and only girl, is 17
1819. She finished up high school while dual enrolled at community college in Graphic Communication. She spent several months living with freinds in CA, but is back, studying business. She has been looking for a job for over a year. - Orion is 13
1415. He has had a variety of diagnosis; most significant are atypical bipolar, pdd-nos (milder autism than aspergers), and tourettes. He likes a very structured home school, and esp loves science. He has taken up the saxaphone this year - Raven, my only child from my second marriage, is 6
78. He is much less verbal and much more defiant than my other kids, so he is a bit more challenging to home school. He is a big math kid, but still hates the idea of writing. at all!
