note;

Regarding overlapping employment; I often took on a second job if the opportunity presented itself to make extra income. Many times holding down two jobs at the same time. I felt the opportunity to learn a new skill was a job I  better not pass up.

Regarding the gaps in my years of employment; I took several years off and worked from home raising and breeding pure bred dogs and exotic Birds for extra income while staying home to raise my children. 

Shorter gaps were from moving out of state or relocating in state to different areas. I have always seem to be able to find a job where ever my husbands job  sent us. 

My kids are grown or passed away now and my husband has been retired several years now and I am ready to take on a full time career and dedicate myself to succeeding and learning and surpassing all my capabilities & Sharing the skills I have picked up over time with the world future generations.
