I've Been Tagged...

By PJ
(I know what you're up to!)



What was I doing 10 years ago
...
I was a 30-something mother of four with the knowledge that there was one more child coming and I was ok with that (little did I know there were two more, I don't recall signing up for two more...). We had just moved into our 2nd house that we had built and I was excited about the prospect of having a nice yard for my kids to play in finally (it didn't get put in until 6 months before we were to move out, which was four years after we moved in...).

What was I doing 1 year ago...
Enjoying the company of my sister-in-law and her five kids for the summer! Miss ya Suse!

5 snacks that I enjoy...
Snickers
Twix
Toast and jam
Whatever sweet thing is left from the treat my hubby made the night before
Barbara's Cheese Puffs--these are the absolute best!













5 Songs I know the lyrics to...

I know too many to choose from, but here are some that were on my most played list from my iTunes:

Consider the Lilies
Old Dan Tucker--Bruce Springsteen
Soak Up the Sun (not that I like the singer, but I do love the song)

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire...
Travel
Buy a ranch somewhere in the midwest
Buy a ranch by the coast
Fly all my family out to visit me, just once!
Buy an RV and take my homeschool on the road


5 bad habits...
Laundry day-putting it off just one more day
Not putting things away when I'm done using them
Yelling, but I am getting better
I don't want to think about them anymore...next!

5 things I would never wear again...
Leg warmers
Hushpuppy shoes
Poofy hair
Plaid pants
Neon earrings


5 toys I love...
My sewing machine
My second sewing machine
My third sewing machine
My fourth sewing machine
My serger

Spring...er Summer Cleaning

Well, so far the junk is winning.

Ok, I've slowed down a bit, but am still trying to get some cleaning in each day. It seems that I get one room cleaned out and move on to the next, but when I come back to the room that was cleaned out, it's a mess again! At least it's just a surface mess, the extra junk that had accumulated has been removed, but still, it's a little (lot) discouraging to see it that way. If I could figure out a way to get rid of my kids for a few days (month or two or...)...

Anyway, still trying to make the dust fly!
