Wow -- I'm so glad you enjoy style, Rachelle -- not having trained as a writer, I'm not sure it 'jives' with many, but, as Popeye says: I yam what I yam! :) You have certainly make me smile today! ;) :) And, yeah, looking back - those times were crazy and I'm really not sure where the energy came from! ;) ;) Am happy where I am right now so, while those things are some of those 'echoing memories', I have no desire to return to them!! ;) ;) Thanx for review and have a wonderful day!! ;) Yvette

Now you are what I call a great mom...attentive to your children, especially in times of crisis. You are also superhuman. How did you find time to publish that first book! Whew! I'm exhausted just reading all you were doing at the same time. Enjoyed learning more about you!

I really enjoy reading these quiz/trivia answers. I am so amazed by your greatness, as I learn even more about you. :) WOW...how scary to watch your son not surface from the pool! Those creepy "feelings" we get when something bad is going to happen. And, it feels great to accomplish both personal and professional goals. You just keep on a keepin' on. :)

I'm tired just reading # 5. LOL.
And # 4? Words can't describe how I feel, except maybe that how that day ended (with you screaming into a pillow) I can relate to BIGtime.
# 3? Yep. Been there. More than once, and I do my utmost to never ignore that gut feeling.

Absolutely wonderful writing, Yvette. And great to 'get to know' you a little more. :)))

OMG Yvette... You're Freaking Wonder Woman!!! I knew you were one of a kind already, but really? I never knew anyone who had that much on their plate at once and didn't end up in a nut house! Congratulations! LOL :)

No - no wonder woman. Just Mom. Yeah, and anyone who stays in the full time teaching profession right now is nuts! :) LOL! That was when I started writing for 'pressure release' until even that wasn't enough...part time, on my own terms, is just where it works: no administrative ass to kiss....oh, I'm sorry, was that out loud?! :) ;) Take care up there! ;) ;) Yvette

My dad made his $ in books... textbooks, you may have used one or two! I think some are still in print! His came along by accident though. There was a guy from Addison Wesley in the Math Dept. when he was there making mimeograph copies for a class because he didn't like the textbook they had. He was basically rewriting as he went along. The guy saw him and asked him if he wanted to do a book... my dad was like, I don't know how to write a book! He told my dad... look, you're already writing one right here! This IS a book! LOL

Wonderful stories, Yvette! You're a hero and a psychic and an amazing multi-tasker!! I can't imagine writing a book while working full time, raising three boys and taking care of hubby! Congratulations!

Yeah...those were the days when I was blessed with 'energetic youth' - LOL! ;) ;) Now, it's in the 'enjoy the fruits of your labors' phase....almost. If I could just lose this part time job...LOL! Of course, that's a lie, my students really are gems and inspirations and 'eye opening gauges to the world' right now!! ;) ;) Thanx for stopping by, ma'am -- take care! ;) ;)

Nope. No hero. Just mom and life has slowed down quite a bit since all that - LOL! ;) :) The original 'book' had little green bulbous things but one had a tie...nope, no ties, sir. It's my number one rule...so, you get orange, unidentifiable bulbousness! ;) ;) Thanx for dropping in again, PD -- take care! ;) MD
