About Me: I have three kids, five stepkids. I'm a qualified teacher, I've taught prenatal and parenting classes, and now I run a home daycare. I love my work, but the time has come to make a career shift. I love being self-employed, and I'd love to make my living writing. How will I accomplish this? I'm finding out as I go!
My interests: Reading, writing, singing, walking. I'm getting back into working out and loving it.
My website/blog: http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com
How I de-stress: Walking with my husband. Workout. Sex. A bubble bath and overall pampering.
An adjective to describe me: calm
My favorite book: Oh, I could never pick just one!

Hi Mary, I just now read your question re: sleep from oh...a month ago! I didn't realize the comment section at the end of our personal pages. I also suffer from insomnia and it isn't fun. Stress management is important so having a routine of something you do at night prior to bedtime is good. Something that helps you to get your mind clear. You can also try stretching and/or drinking some chammomile tea.
