Memories

Jacob has to do this genology project for quest (g/t) He has asked me some odd questions all of these were about my childhood:

I thought I'd share a few with you...

I was born at home, don't ask me what hospital...my mother was in labor over 24 hours with no medical drugs to help her. She is amazing.

Favorite television show was: Alf and the Fraggles

Favorite movie: The Last Unicorn.

Favorite outdoor activity: Campfires (I am a pyro...ask the Killingsworths, I'll keep you warm while camping...but safe too)

Regarding Chores: Too Many to list. And NO I didn't get paid an allowance...

Best Friends: O, Lily, and Amber

Best mischievous prank you've ever pulled: O kay done a few...to name two 1) telling my baby brother he was adopted and Hiding his birth certificate so he believed it. 2) putting a rubber band on the sprayer on the kitchen sink (on April fools) so that when my Dad turned on the water to make his coffee at 4am it soaked him.

Crazy Fad you participated in: Bedazzling of course

Memorable moment you will never forget: winning volunteer of the year in pulaski county.

Something you wish you could do over again (Jacob answered this one for me) Jump off her bike off the ramp, without breaking her arm! How funny

Gasoline costs 1.03 / gallon

Funny Family Stories: Placemat and spoons at the dining room table. "Sean quit making your sister laugh" (:) That was for you Uncle Sean).

Favorite Holiday- my birthday, b/c I got to do girl stuff with my mom.

I wanted to be an architect when I was younger. Clean Straight lines are my dream but I am a great bean counter.

Wonder woman on Auto Pilot

Sometimes I feel like I am wonder woman...nothing can touch me. Today has been one of those crazy whirl wind days. I got up LATE, made breakfast (duh- cereal, bagel, and fruits and coffee for Adam). Got my shower, headed off to work, the the rain pouring down. Praying for it to stop (it worked) we didn't have to go to Bryant for Indoor Practice. I was very busy today at work. Took my lunch hour, went to Lowe's picked up somethings, came home, started a load of laundry, put up some dishes, cleaned the counters, picked up the towels off the floor, pet the cats, fed them (again), got online paid some bills, and then got back to work, YES all that in exactly an hour (including my drive time from downtown to NLR)...we had our monthly birthday party at work - basically you pay $4 / month to be in the Bday club and you get an hour off of work to party and eat, so I decided that would be my lunch today. I got off at 4:30 and went to my mom's office downtown, changed into my workout clothes, Adam brought me Kobie (Jacob was @ soccer practice)(Dylan was with Nano - Jaci had art lessons - then they went out to eat)...So Kobie and I headed off to the gym where I took my hour step class and then the 15 min core crunch (which will crunch you to the core- it hurts)...Came home made dinner, did some more laundry- still working on it now...Sat down ate, looked over the kids homework, had Kobie play his bass for me. Adam is working so I decided I would work too, so we sit across the table and work for about 2 hours. This is crazy...Ending the day with a nice glass of wine and some Mentalist with my hubby. What a wonderfully productive day...I'm going to crash when my head hits the pillow.

Exhaustion & Stress Cause Grey

Well I have about 15 or more grey / silver wiry hair on the top of my head. I'm ready for this house stuff to be over with and rest easily. The ball is in our buyers court and it's not a lot of fun to sit and wait...I am NOT a patient woman.

This is a test, this is only a test...if it were real you would receive tons more grey hair...this is what I'm hearing over and over...

Adam & I were supposed to go with the New's to the Tomlin Concert. Adam's back is thrown out and my stomach has not been well. So we didn't go. We instead went window shopping, bought Kobie's bday gift (which is not until July-giving it to him early), got a bite to eat and then back home. We were able to talk to each other with no SET time limits...no kids, no noise. It was very pleasant to walk hand in hand like we used to. So sweet. This man is keeping me grounded!

On the plus side, we tried out the NLRAC children's program for two days during Spring Break to give it a "test-drive" before we put them in for the summer. It was great! I loved it, they loved it. They were with other good kids. To me I am very satisfied with our choice of childcare for the summer months.
