Occupation Preschool Teacher, formerly Stay-at-Home Mom
Location Oakland, CA, United States
Introduction Why did I name my blog Surrounded by D!@ks? Because I literally am surrounded. I have a wonderful husband and 3 fantastic boys (ages 11, 10 and 10.) Even our dog is boy. (I need to have my husband do a new drawing with our dog in it.) I was a stay-at-home mom for 11 years and juggled it all: chef, chauffeur, house cleaner, bookkeeper, CFO of our house, grocery shopper, manicurist, pedicurist, laundress, school volunteer, occasional blogger, just to name a few. Last fall, I went back to work as a preschool teacher and I love it! So I still do all the things I listed above, but added a part time job. Also, I went back to school to get my teaching certificate, so I'm a student, too.
Interests My family; running; softball; wine; trying to get time to myself; retail therapy; and other things I just can't think of at this moment.
Favorite Movies Sound of Music, Sixteen Candles, Mr. Mom, Overboard, Clueless, Gilmore Girls, and more I'm too tired to think of at this moment.
Favorite Music I'm an 80's child so just about all music from that decade, most especially Duran Duran.
Favorite Books Twilight, Hunger Games, The Nightingale, Girl on a Train, Water for Elephants, If Tomorrow Comes, and more but I'm too tired to think of at this moment.
