estherchaya@livejournal.com BioI'm really bad at summing myself up in a "biography" like this. I'm not an especially exciting person, but I'm content with my life, which is something I never really thought I'd be.
I was born in Scotland, but have dual-citizenship with the US and UK. I didn't live in Scotland very long (10 months), but it's still a relatively large part of my identity, surprisingly enough.
I am married to a wonderful man,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
sethcohen, who puts up with my idiosyncrasies and the occasional temper tantrum. We live together with 2 cats. I call the cats my furry little in-laws. I married into them, and would not otherwise have acquired the little allergens. Secretly I love them, despite the sneezing, but don't tell Seth that! ;)
We have a four year oldmonster foster son, whom we adore. He is such a joy and always usually a good natured kid despite suddenly finding himself big brother to three, count 'em, THREE new babies. Ack! That's right, after a long wait, a lot of medical intervention, a good deal of prayer, and a difficult pregnancy, I'm the proud mama to beautiful triplets - a boy and two girls - and slowly remembering what sleep is. It's lovely.
Other than that... well, I'm an Orthodox Jew. This baffles my friends and family a bit, as I haven't always been Orthodox. But that's okay. This is me now, and I'm pretty content to be me.
I suppose that's all. Like I said, I'm not an especially exciting person. My journal is mostly babbling about my life. I try to keep politics out of it, except when I genuinely want opinions. I hate politics in general, though I understand other people's fascination with politics. Sometimes I get complaints that there are Jewish terms in my journal that not everyone understands. Sometimes I translate in the entry itself, but often I forget. If so, leave a comment in my journal and I'll explain.
