16. Of my seven kids, four were born at home, two in the hospital and one in the car.
15. I haven’t seen more than a handful of episodes of any popular TV show since “Cheers.”
14. I don’t drink sodas anymore, but make fermented drinks like Kombucha and Kefir “beer.”
13. I wish I could live in Northern Ireland, where I lived for 2.5 years.
12. I really enjoy hanging laundry outside on a sunny day.
11. I like everyone. Disliking people takes too much energy.
10. I can’t believe how happy I am. I think if everyone realized how happy I am, they’d all be jealous and want seven kids, too.
9. I’m incredibly good at finding four leaf clovers.
8. I love to read children’s books and generally read everything my kids do.
7. I have incredibly nuanced opinions, and get frustrated when people make assumptions about why I do things.
6. I am an Irish citizen.
5. I am a terrible liar.
4. I have moved twelve times in the past sixteen years.
3. I don’t like cruises, but I find that steel drums alleviate seasickness. I did get my sea legs after 24 hours, but I sill was uncomfortable with all the heights.
2. I love finding sea glass.
1. I love playing Scrabble, but Fiona beats me most of the time. I choose to believe that this is because she is really a champion level Scrabble player.

How are you at Boggle?
I’m jealous of you and want 7 children…though I’ll pass on having any of them in the car.
Hope you’re having a terrific time in New Jersey!!
You’re an Irish citizen? But were you not born in the US or did you relinquish that?
I am so happy that you are happy with your family of 7 children. Indeed what a precious blessing!
@rsernas - I have Irish citizenship through my husband who got it through his mother. Ireland allows dual citizenship, so I did not have to relinquish my US citizenship. My daughter Aine actually has triple citizenship since she was born in Northern Ireland – US, UK and Irish.
All of these make me happy.
