TAGGED! Thanks Tai

What I was doing 10 yrs. ago: I was anxiously awaiting our home to be completed so that we could move in. Packing up our basement apartment where we lived below Shaun's brother and his family. Feeling a little sad to leave having this been where we started our family. Bo was 1 and very flippin cute! I worked full time (8-5) as an Adm. Secretary for Women's & Children's Services at the hospital and this was difficult - not being able to spend all day with Bo.

5 yrs. ago: Enjoying a brand new little baby girl, recovering from a c/section, getting very little sleep. I was trying to spend quality time with Bo during my maternity leave because he would start Kindergarten in August. Swimming lessons each morning. Most of my mornings were spent bathing Savannah and dressing her as cute as I possibly could with a matching headband of course. I remember puting something on her and then taking it off and trying something else until I found the perfect outfit. I must have had way too much time on my hands. By this time, I had cut my hours at the hospital and was working part time.

1 yr ago: Hauling gravel up to our camp spot at mom and dads cabin property in Fairview. Spreading it to make a fire pit and driveway. Loving all the purple and yellow wild flowers that were everywhere on the mountain. Also building a new deck to park the trailer up against. I know - you are thinking REDNECK! I promise it's not like that - it's really quite nice. I was looking forward to a fun year with Savannah on Micro Starburst. Attending Bo's baseball games (they went to State - go Yankees). I had also started a new job in Labor and Delivery and was working night shift - this sucked!

Yesterday: Cleaned windows, polished furniture, vacuumed beneath couch cushions, cleaned appliances, wiped baseboards, mopped, laundry. Took a break mid-day to talk to Tai and Jenicee. Today - doing the same upstairs - Oh yeh!

5 favorite snax: Strawberries w/whipped cream, Oreo Cakesters, Reeses PB Cookies, Diet Coke, Weight Watches Lemon Cake. MMM, I'm hungry.

5 favorite books: I don't read! I barely made it through the Twilight series - I don't think I finished the last book. I love looking at pictures in the smut magazines and reading hollywood gossip and an occasional Country Living.

5 places I would love to run away to: Walt Disney WORLD (Florida), Carribean Cruise, Grand Canyon on horse back (Havasu Falls), a beautiful wilderness anywhere, a beach.

5 bad habits: My Diet Coke run every morning, swear words, blogging (I've been sitting here an hour), my competitiveness, twisting my hair.

5 things I would never wear: As you can tell, I'm not much for fashion. But I would never wear anything sleeveless, shorts, a bikini (I have a bad scar), skinny jeans (since I'm not skinny), or a scarf. It really is true that I have a desire to wear fashionable clothing but it is difficult to look good when your stubby. I could lose about 35 lbs and feel much better shopping for cute clothes. When and if that ever happens, yer all coming with me on a major shopping spree.

5 pet peeves: Shaun says "Huh?" everytime I ask him something, even if he hears me. I hate having to repeat myself (listen the first time). Bo acting like a wild animal. The horse corral not being clean. Shaun saving things we don't need. Savannah's fingerprints on the glass french door (use the flippin door handle). Savannah's hat is beginning to annoy me - she won't let me do her hair. Shaun whining about my Diet Coke habit. Kids forgetting to flush the toilet. When I say NO to something - don't beg or ask me again. Bo's muddy shoes - every day (I'm not kidding). Oh my - is that more than 5 - I am really annoyed today so you probably shouldn't have asked!

5 things I like to do: CAMP, watch my kids do the things they are good at, BLOG, talk on the phone, ride ATV.

5 favorite TV shows: So You Think You Can Dance, The Batchelor, Extreme Home Makeover, The View, Oprah.

5 famous people I would like to meet: I really don't care to meet anyone famous.

5 friends I am tagging: McKenzie, Meg, Jeanette, Jamie G., Jenicee.

You and I have a lot of things in common. I totally think the Pet-peeve list should be like a minimum of 15! That probably says a lot about me doesn't it??

Thanks a lot for the tag! It may take me a few days to do it, but I promise you I will. It was fun to read your answers. You are too funny and we have a lot in common. Brandon loved Havasu Falls and he swears how much fun it would be to take me there. I'm not so sure, but I bet you would love it. You seem a little more outdoorsy than me. Brynn asked if she could play with savannah yesterday. We will call you soon.
