Meme

I found THIS great blog the other day ~ Delta Kids ~ and I went there to visit today and found that April had tagged me for a meme. :) Since I'm trying to reach my 365 posts this year with out doing the formal blog365 thing of every day posting, and I'm short about 80-something posts, I'm happy to do a meme. Something fun and interesting instead of the other crap I was going to post. lol



Here are the rules:

Link to your tagger and list the rules
List 7 random facts about yourself
Tag 7 people (and make sure you check back and see what they say!)
If you're tagged, play along and pass it on



1. I LOVE coffee!! But I will only really drink French Vanilla coffee with French Vanilla creamer or reg coffee (if I have to) with FV creamer. BUT I love it. :)



2. I LOVE to have my hair cut, played with, brushed, styled anything... BUT I get the weirdest feeling... sort of like chills or pin and needles down my back and arms when I get my hair washed at a salon.



3. (for new readers) I have three children. I have a five year old little boy who's name is Trevor and he is ALL BOY ... ALL the time!! lol and I wouldn't have it any other way! :) I also have twin girls, Lauren and Brooke, they are three...(my son turned 2 and a week later I had my girls.... natural!) and full of drama and they are most definitely ALL GIRL, but not all the time... because sometimes they like to act just like their older brother.



4. I LOVED being pregnant!! I would do it again and again and again if I could. I would do it for other people too, but my husband and I have a little difference of opinion on that... so for now I haven't pursued that option ... YET! This is something I'd really love to be able to do for someone... what greater gift than the gift of a child/life for someone? I can't think of one.



5. I am a stay-at-home-mom, and I am not very good at it. I want to do more with my girls... teach them stuff and play with them more... really enjoy this time with them, because I know it is going to go by in the blink of an eye... in fact a lot of it already has... three years already wow.

And I know I'm going to miss them very much when they go to pre-school next year because I miss my son every day... it has gotten easier because he is very happy in school, but I still miss him.



6. I read the Twilight series and LOVED it!! I also went to see Twilight the first night it was out... sometimes I think I'm a little too old to be so into Twilight and (blush) Edward Cullen... but then I just rationalize that I JUST CANNOT help myself!! lol I really loved the books. I can't wait for the Midnight book to come out!! I read it online, what is there at least, and am hoping it comes out soon!!



7. I was a dental assistant before I was a SAHM and when I go back to work I'm not sure what exactly I will go back to doing. I loved being a dental assistant, but not sure if I will go back into that field or not. As of now, it is what I would like to do... I know it and love it and don't have to worry about what I will wear to work each day... scrubs are so easy, but I'm not sure if it will work out for me to do that again. We'll see.



So that is all there is about me... at least for now. :)



I usually don't tag anyone... but this time I will... if you get tagged and want to do it... great... if you can't or don't feel like it... that's okay too. And if you don't get tagged but want to join the fun... please feel free to. :) let me know in a comment and I will add your name and link you so that everyone can check yours out!! :)



I tag:

1. Pregnantly Plump
2. Amie
3. Just Jamie
4. Milly
5. B Boys Mom
6. Angie
7. Tattooed Minivan Mom

I was tagged...

Yep. Sandy from Momisodes had tagged me a while ago, and I really have just been sooo freakin' busy that I didn't get to do the meme yet. Sorry. So here is one of them. (for now)

A is for Apple...
B is for Ball...
C is for Cat and...
D is for Doll. : )

Okay now the ABC's of me. Sorry this isn't more fun/original... I haven't had much time to myself lately to think or do things like this... also the reason for the blog being really boring/lame lately... I will try to get back on track and really step it up some more!!! Promise!!

A ~ Appreicate my family and friends... I don't know what I would do without any of you!! And those of you are really my friends, you know that really you are "family". I love you all!!

B ~ Brooke's Mommy! Bitchy... really who isn't?? Best friend.

C~ Creative, when the mood strikes me... and also I have to put Caring. I really am. No. Really. Sometimes, or okay, most times I don't act all that caring, but I am and that is just a terrible front that I should drop. I do, of course, without a doubt, care for my kids to the end of the earth and back... and my family/friends as well.

D ~ Daughter. One and only too! : ) And, Dreamer. I have lots of dreams and goals and aspirations that I want to reach and achieve one day. Also, I am a real vivid dreamer I wish I could remember them all and put them in a book... I could be the next best seller.

E ~ Early riser, for the most part... and Excited about Christmas coming... I'm like a little kid about it... I never can wait for it to get here. I love decorating for it... and the night before I cannot sleep ever!! I swear it takes me forever to fall asleep then I'm the first one up at like 5 AM wondering when the hell the kids are going to get up and when Bryan will let me get them up!! LOL

F ~ Friendly. Again for the most part. Fearless when it comes to defending my family and friends. Nothing will stand in my way to protect my children/family and get them what they want, need and/or deserve!! NOTHING.

G ~ Girly... not!! No. Really I'm not. I guess a word that would work here is Generous. At least I think I am. I wish I could do more and be more generous and giving, but I give what I can... even if it is only friendship, love and a shoulder to lean on.

H ~ Hilarious! Really, when I'm in the right setting and the right mood, I think I can be pretty damn funny. : ) On a more serious note, I think that I am humble. I am grateful for all I have and all that I have been blessed with... especially my three beautiful children.

I ~ Imaginative. Inventive. not at all times, but there are a few times when I can classify myself in these categories!! ;o)

J ~ Juggler of the family. I juggle the kids, the house, the activities, friends, family, time, meals, laundry, dishes, baths, playtime, outings... etc. I'm like an event planner/coordinator! ha!

K ~ Keeper of the kids. Kid watcher. All the same. :oD Also, I can add here Kit Kat eater!!

L ~ Lauren's Mommy! Loving. Laughter.

M ~ Mommy. ~ the best on my list!! The one that means the most to me and probably describes me best of all. Mother, Maternal. Memory keeper.

N ~ Na! To all my lil' nephews & nieces, especially to Matthew! and, Nurturing.

O ~ Open book. Honest and upfront.. what you see is pretty much what you get.

P ~ Pamper changer. ;o) Photographer! Party girl... from back in the day... and once in a blue moon now... and I really mean once in a blue moon. ;o)

Q ~ Quick temper. I guess I'm pretty hot headed... I get mad fast... but with good reason not just over everything... but I also get over it quickly too.

R ~ Real. Like Jenn C's blog... I'm trying to keep the courageous smile. I'm trying to always be real and stay in the moment. I will not compromise myself for anyone! NOT FOR ANYONE! I am who I am, and people will either love me, or hate me, but either way, I'm going to be me.

S ~ Sarcastic. Not all the time. Really. ;o)

T ~ Trevor's Mommy! Truly In-Love with my children, my husband, my family and my life!

U ~ Underware washer. ;o) Had to throw something funny in here. Also... unrealistic with money.

V ~ Vacation Lover!! Who the hell isn't. I wish I was on vacation now!!

W ~ Waiter/Waitress for my kids. LOL What else starts with "w"??

X ~ X-ray taker... from when I was a dental assistant. Come on! Cut me some slack. I couldn't think of anything else.

Y ~ Young at heart, always! Youthful. Yawner! I also yawn, like just now typing that made me yawn.. I also always follow the crowd with this.. once one person starts I just cannot stop. ;o)

Z ~ Zealous!

The end! : )

Hope you enjoyed my ABC's... now won't you come play with me... because TAG your it!! Yep. You have now all been tagged... anyone that reads this entry and wants to do this... you are more then welcome!! : )

Toodles I'm off to bed... I'll be back tomorrow... another day another dollar! : )
