Youer Than You: Notes from #IMCONF

Hi There! I'm just chilling here surrounded by the latest conniption my two THREE wee kids have created. Life is busy, seemingly too busy to update this profile photo! Sometimes my husband is here, sometimes he is not (FIFO Wife). Sometimes I have just a glass, other times it's the whole bottle (Booze Hound).
