I am...

female.

a mum- my boys are 3 months and almost 3 years, both beautiful, both HARD WORK (and for the record, both breastfeeding and co-sleeping cos that's how we do it 'round here).

a wife- I have been married close to a year and a half, with my hubby almost 6.

studying- I am in the middle of a Masters, and working on a certificate in Breastfeeding education.

a teacher, but I will not be spending any time in a classroom in the near future.

not yet 30 but getting close.

a teetotaler- when I was younger I would drink to fit in. I didn't enjoy the taste, it didn't make me feel good, it was just what you did. Then I met my husband who hadn't had a drink for 20 odd years because he didn't enjoy alcohol, and he had no trouble in social situations at all. I realised no-one really cares about what you are drinking.

completely comfortable in my own skin- my body is far from perfect, but as I get older I find I focus more on what is great about it and don't notice the less wonderful bits.

not just shy- I have social phobia. Even talking on the telephone or typing on a forum causes me a huge amount of anxiety. I find talking to anyone who is not my husband or immediate family incredibly stressful, but I keep doing it each day in the hopes that I will reach a point where it doesn't scare me anymore. I would love to have the kind of friends you catch up for coffee or just hang out with, but I'm not there yet.

goal driven- I can't stay in one place, I need to be moving towards something.

So, that's me. On the surface anyway.
