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:

Ramblings

good morning.

Thank you all for the wonderful wishes for the house. We talked to our realtor yesterday and she has only been able to get in contact with the wife and proposed the deal to her, renting with option to buy, then two years buying it for the full asking price... which no one ever really offers full asking price for the first offer. But she hasn't been able to get in contact with the husband. She said they travel in separate circuits, not sure exactly how this work but we are just hoping she will be able to get in touch with him soon. We are on pins & needles and not sleeping well trying to wait this out. Not to mention all the plans and ideas that are circulating in our thoughts, although we are trying to not get too far ahead of ourselves.

they say all good things come to those that wait. right? that is how i'm trying to see this situation we talked to Sig about the house then had to wait about a week to see it... we liked it. then we made the offer and are waiting for her to propose it to the owners and i'm hoping since we have waited 3 days so far, with out knowing when we will hear from any of them, that this will have a good outcome.

for some reason i have really wonderful luck with things that i want working out in my favor. it is unreal. something always changes or bends or just goes exactly right in the universe so that things work out for me. i'm really thankful for this and hope that it will be the same way with this house. BUT at the same time things don't always go the way i want or plan or even calculate... and although it is sometimes set back and disappointing, to say the least, it is always for a reason. Some of the most major things in my life that have failed seem to have been for the BEST reasoning and made up more significant parts of my life. things and people that i couldn't imagine being absent in my life.

so although i'm trying to play it cool and think positively... i'm still dying to hear from Sig and see what the owners think of our proposal. as soon as i'm done either celebrating or being disappointed and trying to come up with another proposal for them, since we were approved for the mortgage and could still go that route, i will come post about it so you all can know what is going on.


ALSO!! Thank you all for the camera info. It seems as though my camera is really truly passed on. :( sad i know. i'm trying not to fret about it... and i'm also trying not to think of all the pictures i'm missing every. single. day.

ugh!!

i'm not sure what to do yet. i'm not sure where to shop first. i did some research with lead me to the Canon Rebel XSi... but wow!! that is pretty pricey and right now my finances need to be focused in other directions... a LOT of other directions. so i con't to search and see what you are all using. :) thanks for all the advice.

It's been ONE week since you looked at me...

Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me saying
"Get that together come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

yeah. so it has been ONE week since I posted... sorry I'm a poop. Things have been semi busy here... and then there has also been all the "normal life" stuff that isn't really all that normal when you have three children, a dog, a cat, 4 3/4 sugar gliders, other family members and friends. Ug!

So anyway... where do I begin...

Lets see... Thursday was were I left off...

***** below is all family health info if you want you can read, if you don't you can skip to the next set of ************'s!! Thank you....

Bryan's grandfather not doing well, has super bug and MRSA...

WRONG... he only had MRSA... serious? Yes! Deadly? Could be! Is he doing better?? YES!!! He is doing GREAT... I think Bryan's family has the pesimist bug up their butt.... maybe that is wrong to say/type, but whatever, he is doing better and that is all that matters. He did great with heart surgery... open heart surgery for that matter. Is done with the MRSA thing... and is actually out of the hospital at a rehab facility getting strong enough to go HOME!!!!!! yay!!!

In between all this his heart stopped and they put in a pace maker. The doctors said this may be a possibility after surgery and they didn't seem alarmed and/or concerned really and said the surgery is minor... He did great with it.

Bryan's uncle had neck surgery on Wed. he is recovering well, but still in the hospital because he is having another surgery on Friday.

Bryan's mom has something going on with her eyes and needed to have steriod shots, so she did that... and then while getting everything checked out... they found her heart rate and blood pressure to not be good... heart rate was eratic and bp was high... so she is now in the hospital where Bryan's grandfather was in the ICU and they are monitoring her.

My uncle had to go have a sent done, and it went well, although he had some minor chest pains while doing the procedure, b/c you are awake for it... so they kept him over night in ICU as well but a different hospital and he is on his way home today or possibly already home.

If you didn't follow any of that it is okay... b/c really I'm not sure I got it all either!! ugh!!!

***********************************************************************************

COS ------->

On Friday we colored a million and one Easter Eggs at my parents house!! And I'm only slightly exaggerating... we colored (I think) 14 doz eggs, I have pics to prove it but not in my computer yet... I'll get to that one of these days... promise!!

Who was there, you would like to know?? Okay... It was my Dad, my nephew Walter, age 3, my niece Julia, age 3, my Mom, my Brooke, age 2 1/2, Ellen, my Lauren, age 2 1/2, myself, my Trevor, age 4 1/2, my nephew Matthew, age 12!! It was like WORK, but it was all worth it in the end!! :)

Then we hung out and did nothing at my parents house for the rest of the day, until about 3 PM or so, then came home and did nap time... boy was I happy about that. :)

Saturday is all a blur to me, but I think it went like this... went to my parents house, Bryan went to play paintball (looser!! I wanted to go too!!), then came home and thoroughly cleaned and organized Trevor's bedroom, then did a few things, got the kids ready, Bryan came home, we went to eat dinner and get some groceries, and Easter stuff, then came home, put away groceries, cleaned up some, got company (Des, Ryan, Jillian, Jerry, Heather and Chris) put the kids to bed, hung out.... um... till 3:30 in the morning. :) But it was all good... we had a nice time and we love 'company' although they aren't really company b/c they are family/really awesome friends...

The Sunday morning, Trevor woke us up at like 8:20 AM or so, that they Easter bunny came and left a whole bunch of stuff... I have pics of this too, but not in my computer yet... I know I'm lame... so sorry.

Hung out did our thing... let the kids eat a crap load of candy... how much is a crap load you ask?? I'm not sure, but I do know that they each ate about a 1lb of candy. lol but really they probably did. :) Gave the kids baths, put them to nap, went to my parents house to work on some stamping projects, came home got everyone ready to go back to my parents house for Easter dinner and of course Easter desert... YUM!! Ate dinner, talked/hung out had a good time, then ate desert... YUMMY... the home again home again jiggity jig!!

Then on Monday I got up got the kids ready, feed them breakfast and off to Liberty we went... took someone some papers/packet I had to give them, and then went to my mom's job to say hi since we were in the neighborhood, then went to McDonald's for lunch and to play on the playground... had THE BEST BEHAVED KIDS at the ENTIRE playground!! SOOOO PROUD. :) Came home, put the girls for naps, and let Trevor go outside with Bryan and Zoe. :) Straightened up and made dinner.

Tuesday, Bryan bowled, my Dad babysat and I went to Stampin' Up thing... came home tired and exhausted but good. Talked to Bryan and went to bed... oh and I totally left out the entire day of Tuesday... I was at my parents house almost all day trying to get things ready for the Stampin' thing... it was okay but the kids were rough on me with getting into everything and whining... maybe that is why I left it all out.

Wednesday... what the hell did I do yesterday, I can't even remember and it was the closest day I am writing about... duh!! I guess we hung out, I got a lot of laundry done and put away, then we went to KFC for dinner, b/c I saw a commercial for it and then was craving it... see the millions of dollars they pump into commercials does work... at least on me. lol came home, and hung out... watched American Idol show, went to bed. ~ oh yeah and some where in there, I played w/ the girls, Bryan and Trevor and Zoe went outside, then I got the girls ready for bed, after picking up their bedroom AGAIN, and I also gave Trevor a shower. :)

And today, well to tell you the truth I'm too tired to even think about posting for what we did today... but it was pretty much NOTHING... and some house work. :)

I want to post a Thursday Thirteen, but just do NOT have it in me right now to do... I might be back later...

peace
