Tonya Flores has a painful mishap while chaperoning a trip to Disneyland.
Tonya is loving:
Tonya Flores is a mom...and a substitute teacher. She has 3 kids (ages 11, 9 and 8). When her baby went to kinder, she became a substitute teacher...going on her 4th year. She got married a little later in life than most of her friends...to a man 16 years older than her who had never been married before either. They have had to do a lot of adjusting (and letting things slide) as they were both pretty set in their ways by the time they married. It's been 12 years so far and he still puts up with her, so at least they've made it this far!
