One: What was I doing ten years ago?
May, 1998- i have no idea. Actually, i think i was working my butt off at my new job at the girls' group home- in fact, i believe that 2 staff had gotten canned and one was on his honeymoon- so there was just a skeleton crew to do 24 hour shifts for 8 troubled teens with behavioral problems. Did i mention that we were also battling head lice? The girls were troopers.
Two: Five things on today's to-do list.

get my family a house that has no stairs- for mom.

I needed this kick in the pants. I've done zero blogging lately.
(I share some of your bad habits.)
I love your bad habit 1: "not flossing" ... you are INNOCENT woman!
New York has got to be the most beautiful place to live in all the world. Of course I'm biased on this topic.

One: What was I doing ten years ago?
May, 1998- I had been back home in Ohio approximately 9 months. My husband, soon to be ex was here from Turkey so that the business of filing for divorce could be taken care of. One month later, he'd be back in Turkey and I'd be standing in front of a judge who would grant the divorce. I was working as a home health nurse. My son was 10 years old.....and I was....well, 10 years younger.
Two: Five things on today's to-do list.
Mow lawn
Plant a flat of Impatients
Clean bedroom, personal office and professional office space
Go to Library
Make a list of all the things I need to get done on my upcoming 10 day rest period.
Three: Things I'd do if I were a Billionaire.
Quit my job.
Find a spot of land with no neighbors and build an energy efficient house.
Start an animal rescue that could also function as a summer camp for foster kids during the summer. Discarded kids and discarded animals - I've always thought that would make a wonderful combination.
Help make the lives of my family easier - housing, retirement funds, school funds, etc. Don't know that I'd make them all wealthy so they could sit around and waste their lives but I'd give them a lift up so that they had the tools to do something grand.
Set up some sort of perpetuating foundation to help poor children get through school.
Three bad habits:
Reacting rather than acting. (I am way better than I used to be :)
chocolate
Thinking of people I disagree with as ignorant.
Five places I have lived.
S. California
Arkansas
S.Dakota

Texas
Five Jobs

County Welfare Department - While in S. California
RN in St Vincent's Hospital - Little Rock, Arkansas
RN Case Manager - Insurance Company
I might as well identify myself as a disconnected, out of it old fart once again....
"go fooding"
Certain parts of my anatomy clench in anticipation of the definition of this term I've never heard of.....
