Distinctly Different

I like this meme...so I'm going to do it and tag a few other folks to do it, too!

What I was doing 10 yrs ago: May of 1998...EmBlem was 2.3 yo, GirlofGod was just 10 months old.  I was newly pregnant with Trixie, not even having any symptoms.  I wouldn't discover her presence for another three months. She was a sneaky little thing :)

My Honey and I had just become foster parents, and were adjusting to having twin four year old boys, who were born and raised in a garbage dump.  They lived in a school bus there.  They were birthmoms 12th and 13th children, and my first exposure to RAD.  It was a hard month!

Five things on my to do list for today:
Grocery shopping, a stop at the bank, finish up school for the week, have the children clean the chinchilla habitats, continue The Great Clothes Swap.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Build a building for my little church, adopt a few children from Liberia, or Haiti, or wherever the Lord directed, move to the mountains and surround myself with forest.

Three of my bad habits:
letting the yard get way too long before tending it, starting projects and not finishing them, not getting my kitties fixed (that one is for you, Grandmaofmany!)

Five places I have lived:
a beautiful island in Washington State; a lovely, but rainy town very near both the ocean and the forest in Oregon; suburban Sacramento, and currently, a rapidly growing, small town feeling, hotter-than-hot half the year town near enough to the forest to keep me from going too crazy in the summer.

Five jobs I have had:
(from most current back...) sign language interpreter, classroom aide for mentally and physically disabled people of all ages, waitress, dishwasher, babysitter.

Now, who shall I tag?
