Who's in your family?
Me, Jodi, 36 years old, financial manager, IT specialist, cook, cleaner, nurse, taxi driver, photographer… and, in my spare time, I have a full time job as a Multimedia Technician in the Australian Army.
My husband, Russell, 39 years old, mechanic, carpenter, cook, cleaner, taxi driver, hockey coach, unrelenting romantic, clown… and, in his spare time, he has a full time job as a Driving Instructor in the Australian Army.
Daughter #1, Jaimi, 16 years old, Guitar Hero champion (in her own mind!), Sydney Swans #1 fan, dishwasher... she also has an Autism Spectrum Disorder, an Intellectual Disability and Hypothyroidism. Jaimi is my favourite.
Daughter #2, Zoe, 14 years old, boss (of the kids, that is), fashion consultant, hairdresser, A-grade student, language savant, hockey player, beauty specialist and babysitter. Zoe is my favourite.
Daughter #3, Darci, 12 years old, conciliator, tom-boy, animal lover, dog-walker, artist, day-dreamer, clean freak, hockey goalie, class captain, best and fairest winner, quiet achiever and citizenship award winner. Darci is my favourite.
Daughter #4, Xanthia, 7 years old, clown, artist, princess, dancer, hockey player, energizer bunny, fashion consultant, daddy's girl, runner, reader, finger sucker, hairdresser and a clone of her dad. Xanthia is my favourite. Continued...
