I have 12 kids. My youngest kid is 3 years old. My oldest kid is 20. I am from Alabama. I live with my husband and my kids. I am a dumb blonde. I am overweight. I never got a job.
I won a national spelling bee. I have been published in the New Yorker magazine. I have one 3 years old child. I lost baby weight in 2 years.
Are you working on any other pieces for New Yorker Magazine? Yes,i am working on one that is due in three months What is the topic of this particular piece? I can't exactly talk about it since its still a work in progress,how about you,how are your children? Okay, I understand.  My children are fine.  The days are easier when most of them are in school.  In the summer I'm going to have to find some activities to keep them occupied. Are some of them in virtual learning? No, they all go to parochial school.  And yet most of them are still little hellions. Is educating them expensive now that you are not working? It definitely stretches our budget but the church has flexible tuition depending on what the family can afford, and with 10 of my kids going to the same school, they cut us a pretty decent discount.  My youngest isn't there yet and my oldest graduated. That must be a huge relief,do you think i could get your story features in the New Yorker Magazine sometime? Well sure!  I don't know that anyone in the world would want to read about my family, but it'd be a hoot to see our names in print. Trust me your story would inspire so many others who are in your situation
