I'd love if everyone reading would comment with 5 random facts about themselves :)
Just to get to know each other a bit more.
1. Most people probably know, I'm an only child. I've never liked this fact. Although, I do think I might have been an awful sister ;) Now though its pretty lonely having just my mum :/ And my kids with Robin will never have cousins :(
2. I'm a pescatarian. I only eat seafood. I would one day like to be vegetarian again. Octo lacto vege. I'm not giving up dairy ;) I have been meat free since New Years day 2004. I'll never eat meat again.
3. I have a quick temper. Especially for my kids :/ I really aspire to be a much calmer mother. I admire people who are naturally calm. Its not the environment I was raised in. And I think there is too much Irish in me ;) how's that for a cliche!
4. I had a near death experience as a child. I contracted HiB virus at 6 years old. It started with an epic sore throat, and I woke in the night unable to breathe. Emergency tube down my throat, 4 days in ICU. For many years afterward getting a sore throat caused mini panic attacks for me. I still remember a bit about that whole thing. My cousin died in 1975 (4 years before I was born) from the same thing. I have her name as my middle name. I'm superstitious and wouldn't pass the name on, as much as I love it (Narelle).
5. My father is estranged. I haven't spoken to him (again) for 6 years. I hadn't seen him for 18 years when he turned up at his mother's funeral. I couldn't maintain contact with him because he just wouldn't let go of the past. I really wish this wasn't the case. I don't know if I'll ever get to speak to him again. I disappeared on him the last time, and he no longer lives where he did back in 2006 either.
Your turn? :)
1. I never wanted children but I accidentally fell pregnant and my girls are the best thing that ever happened to me. I had a pretty crappy past - it doesn't even feel real now but my mum and sister died when I was younger and I struggled with anorexia and self harm for many years. Having kids really saved me from myself.
ReplyDelete2. DP and I met while we were working together. He was my boss. Before we got together, we went camping with friends and DP wanted to teach my how to drive his 4wd. I rolled it and it was totally written off lol. For some reason, he still pursued me after that- he must be crazy!
3. I have four tattoos. They feel like such a part of me that I barely notice them anymore unless someone comments on them.
4. I was so sure that E would be a boy that I wouldn't even consider girl names lol.
5. I used to work as a body piercer. When we got bored at work, we would pierce each other lol. I've had over a hundred piercings haha
