This and That

Hi, my name is Patricia; aka LeapingFrogLady. I'm a wife, teacher and mother of four sons and a grandma. I've been an educator for over thrity years now. I blog about this and that in my life.

My two oldest were in boy scouts too. Now that I look back, was I crazy? I can't get over how many years I'd feel so exhausted from teaching other children, then my own, keeping the house (I d...
