Hi all! I'm a long-time iVillage member who hasn't been around for a while (I used to frequent the stepfamilies board). I've been lurking on this board for a couple of weeks and it seems just the right fit for me. I have six children ages 10,11,11 (not twins), 12, 14, and 15. We are about to start the new school year (Aug. 27) and all of the chaos that entails. My kids are very diverse, meaning they all have different interests and hobbies (whereas when they were younger they all played on one or two teams and they all enjoyed the same things...that is no longer the case!)

I am a military wife working as an assistant director at a child care facility, although my first love is teaching elementary school. This past year has been a tough one for me personally because it's the first I have been to work for several years (I was a full-time student). It's really hard for me to get home later than my kids. We are currently living in Germany, which is very interesting and fun.

I look forward to meeting all of you and getting some advice and hopefully offering some input as well.

Hi Monica! With that many kids in this age group, I think you're going to be an expert around here!
