Meme of Five..because I'm boring and uninspired

I keep encountering this on others' blogs, so maybe I should answer it? School's almost over and I don't have the extra brain cells to compose an original post anyway.

What were you doing five years ago? Let's see...Alli had been with me for 4 months and was still having illegal contact with Elvis' sperm donor. I'd spent a few weeks playing detective and we had a court date scheduled to discuss the consequences of these actions. (NOTHING happened in that regard, by the way.) Elvis had been out of the hospital for almost 2 months and I was adjusting to living with a tiny crying baby for the first time. The parental rights of Cori's mom had just been terminated and DCS was preparing to place her in the first of a string of failed adoptive homes.

What are five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order)? It's late so I'll give you tomorrow's list: 1) last day of school with students (YAY!), 2) have a birthday party at school for all the kids with summer birthdays (because your kindergarten experience just isn't complete without getting a paper birthday crown), 3) survive our end-of-the-year party with my students and parents, 4) watch the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, 5) find out if Alli is still actually pregnant or if she's miscarried

What are five snacks you enjoy? 1) strawberries, 2) Cup Noodles, 3) Diet Dew, 4) apple slices, 5) cream cheese fruit dip (with strawberries and apple slices)

What five things would you do if you were a billionaire? 1) set up fund to help GOOD foster parents pay for the extra fun stuff their kids want/need, 2) assist our county's special ed program with providing quality educational programs, 3) hire someone to clean my pool (never mind, Boy Wonder and Alli have that covered), 4) a transitional housing/employment program for kids aging out of foster care, 5) a shiny red minivan of my very own - complete with accessibility features for Elvis and his wheelchair

What are five of your bad habits? 1) compulsive eating, 2) doubting myself about everything, 3) denial, 4) staying up too late, 5) poor financial management

What are five places where you have lived? Boring - except for college, here in the same town. We lived in one house til I was 1. The next house from 1-21 years of age. Another house for a couple of years and then two different local apartments before buying my first house. Here in this house for the last 8 years.

What are five jobs you've had? 1) billing/receiving clerk at family business - started in 5th grade and worked for a penny a minute, 2) hostess/waitress at a Chinese restaurant, 3) K-mart cashier, 4) day care in the summers during college, 5) teacher - kindergarten and preschool special ed
