For Tara, Only Because I Puffy Heart You.

Apparently I haven't bored tara with all of my "all about me" ramblings, because she's asked for more....

First, the rules:
1. Each blogger answers the questions about themselves.
2. Then tag five people. Make sure to let them know! :)

What I was doing 10 years ago - 1998

I was living in the land of Chiggers and Ticks (Missouri), 6 months pregnant with Son #2 and preparing to be a leader at our church's Young Women's Camp for the first time (which I did at 8 months pregnant and came home with two ticks on my back-- yuck). It was tornado season, so I spent a lot of time in the basement.

Five things on my to-do list today

1. Dry J2's clothes that he just had to have washed (at 10 oclock) so he could wear them today. It's Non-uniform day at school. I will then feed the boys and take them to the bus and then follow Ky around while she destroys the house. She's sick too, so I'll wipe her nose against her will about 100 times. Wow, can't wait to get started.
2. Other than this, I actually won't be blogging. Like yesterday, I intend to get this iphoto cleaned up once and for all (when we updated our operating system, I had 11,000 photos and some were duplicated, tripled and even quadrupled. I had to sort through over 29,000 photos. I'm down to 15, 490 and it's taken me well over a month).
3. Start the lasagna my husband has been waiting for all week. I dread it because it's one of the meals that I get two "I don't like this"s every time.

4. Eat a package of Airbornes. Miss Ky has shared her cold with me.

5. Psyche myself up-- two of the kids are having friends over after school. Oh, and I'll be hoping from a call from a realtor. We've found a house in the same village the kids go to school! (Which means we'll have the chance to get over this pride issue we're suffering with-- we're living in the U.S. equivalent of a million dollar home. It'd also be a reduction in size, so I may be able to quit cleaning every second of every day-- yeah me!).

Snacks I enjoy

1. Good British chocolate-- I may never eat American chocolate again.
2. Again, British food-- Cream Tea, which is a scone with jam and clotted cream-- no actual tea.
3. I like fruit or carrots if they're cut up for me-- if I have to prepare them, I'll eat crackers instead.
4. cheese. British cheese. Yum
5. frozen grapes. The best summer snack. And I don't have to cut them.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire

1. buy a home in England-- right out, with nothing owed (except of course all the ridiculous yearly taxing)
2. make sure my family were comfortable-- distant and close. Hah! It's funny the way that came out-- yes, I'd keep most of them distant, but what I meant was, immediate family and extended. I'd put a lot away for my Mil whose husband doesn't trust banks so he doesn't save money. He "invests" in falling apart cars that he has littered all over their land.
3. Put a lot into our Church's aid-- that way they distribute it to worthy causes and I don't make a bad decision to support a dirty charity.
4. Still live frugally, so that my children don't get prideful like their parents.
5. I just don't see this happening in my lifetime, so I couldn't come up with five things. Sorry.

Five of my bad habits

1. I don't have any negative habits
2. lying about my habits
3. patience... I have none.
4. Living in the past or in the future.
5. I'm telling you, I have no bad habits.

Five places I have lived

1. Arizona, the best state ever.
2. Terceira, an island in the Azores.
3. England.
4. Biloxi Mississippi. I loved it there. It's gone now. Well, where we lived, shopped, ate pizza and watched movies is gone.
5. Alamogordo, New Mexico. Have you googled it recently? Brown as far as the eye can see....

Five jobs I’ve had

1. Bartender
2. Cowgirl. Not really. Did I mention my bad habit?
3. Ex. Sec. for a Nissan Dealership
4. Night Auditor for Ramada Inn
5. Mom

What I’d like to be doing in 25 years

1. Something other than laundry
2. walking without assistance
3. eating without assistance
4. not using a bed pan
5. playing with grand and great-grand children outside, unassisted and without an attached breathing apparatus.

I'm done? Hey, that wasn't so hard.

I'm tagging Flea's World because she likes to be tagged. Color of Home because she's ignoring me now that she has two blogs going. The Hanners Family Times, because she has had the same post up for a while (some silly excuse about being close to delivering child number four while her Hubby is away) and The Davis Family, because he gets all sappy. That's five. Trust. Me.

Did I ever tell you how I did poorly in maths?
