Introducing - Me!

Hi,

I feel like I am alien who has just been transported to another planet and I am trying to make sense of what is happening!

For the last 15 years I have focussed on my teaching career, enjoyed my independence although occasionally moaned at my 9-5 (ok, more like 8 – 5.30!) existence, but always loved working with children.  

My husband came home from work one day and asked if I would move to Houston with him as he had been offered a job there.  I told him not to be so ridiculous!  We hadn’t been married long and were very settled in our new home, I had my job to think of and we were surrounded by fantastic friends and family.  

We arrived in Houston two months later!  It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, trying to get to grips with not being able to work and deciding how to make this posting work for me. Friends have made great suggestions, but, I’m afraid, painting, quilting and amateur dramatics are really not my 'bag!' 

I have always wanted to be able to write, but have never felt too confident that I would be any good at it.  A decision has been made though!  I am going to give it a bash and just see how I get on.  I never had time before when I was working full time, but there are no excuses now!

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction!
