Hi all!! I'm sitting at work killing time whilst I wait to go and pick up my girls for dancing, and found my way here ... I didn't know you had a forum already Lorrie!

Here's my ten things ... they are a bit random, it's been a long day!
1. I am a mother of 3 kids - 13, 7, and almost 5 (7 sleeps and counting!! lol) I'm also a step-mum to 2 - 23 and 21, and grandmother to 3 - 5 year old, and 4 year old twins.
2. Because of 1 above, I'm VERY tired all the time. :eek:
3. I'm a high school English teacher, and I LOVE my job
4. I need reminding of number 3 when I've had a day like today!!
5. I was born in Lithgow, just over the other side of the Blue Mountains of NSW, and still feel like a Lithgow girl, even though we've been living in Western Sydney for a few years now.
6. I LOOOOOVE to read - it's my favourite thing to do, alongside scrapping
7. I got married on my 21st birthday ... that way my DH doesn't forget our anniversary!
8. Getting married on my birthday was a big mistake - it's too close to christmas, and I consequently miss out on presents
9. Terry Pratchett is my favourite author ... love him to bits, I can reread his books over and over
10. I have had a really crappy August - here's hoping that September is a better month!!

Ok, time to go and pick up the girls - thanks for helping me find something to kill a bit of time!!

Sarah
04-09-2007, 03:51 AM
