1. How long have you been on the boards? I've been lurking on the boards for some time back before the great migration, probably 4 years or so. I really became active, especially here once pregnant. 2. How many kids do you have and what ages? DS is 11 months old. 3. Work, SAHP, combo of the two? I am considered full time but have every other Friday off. 4. Where do you live? Chicago suburbs. 5. Tell us something interesting about yourself. I shared this in the 2 truths and a lie thread, but I am absolutely terrified of worms. I think it stems back to my childhood where I was riding my bike one day wearing shorts, looked down, and there was a worm crawling on my leg. It's haunted me. I KNOW they can't do anything to me, but still. 6. Any other random tidbits you'd like to share. I'm a Pisces, love reading, and am addicted to reality TV - I've never missed a season of Big Brother or the Bachelorette (shameful, I know).
I feel like we haven't done one of these in awhile and I'm seeing lots of new names - yay! Let's get to know each other.

2. 1 daughter, 3 months old
3. I work full time at a high school, currently off for summer break.
4. Chicago suburbs
5. I don't know that I'm all that interesting, tbh, so I'll combine 5/6. H and I eloped, I'm a major introvert and often wonder if people perceive me as being unfriendly or unintelligent (i.e. I don't say a lot in meetings.), H and I traveled a ton before having DD, I speak Spanish (though I'm losing it from not using it regularly), and I waver between totally breezy and totally type A - it's an odd combo.
1. I've been kinda lurking on the boards since back in the nest. I was much more active on the bump when DS was a baby and I would lurk on mm for money advice. Lol.
2. I have one son, he will be 5 at the end of the month.
3. I work, I have to, I'm a single mom and I get zero child support. Luckily I live with my parents and they help me a ton.
4. I live in eastern ontario
5. I love hockey. go habs go. I'm a professional dieter since I've been overweight my whole adult life. I recently ran a 5k for the first time and I'm working on beating my time.
