I'm an American stuck in Australia. That's not such a bad thing actually; I have five beautiful children some of who live with me others have made their own way of sorts. I am a teacher who works part time mainly as a sport coach at a local school. We live on an acreage property abundant with wildlife and have a horse, three dogs, two cats, 8 chickens, two ducks, and two carpet pythons. So yes i love animals as does my 16 year old daughter. I am more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than i am dressed up however when the occasion demands it i can be flexible and frock up. But I am a tomboy at heart.
