A Few More Bits of Information

I was tagged again! Here goes...

What were you doing ten years ago?

I had been married almost two years and had a two-month-old daughter. I was driving my "non-mom", 2- door Acura (still miss it). I was working at a rehabilitation hospital as a Speech-Language Pathologist in Texas. I actually had a paycheck! Ahhh...the days :)


5 Things on my "to-do" list today...


  • put away 2 loads of laundry and throw 2 more loads in the washer/dryer
  • straighten up a basket of kid books that are way out of control
  • call my dad (Happy Birhday!)
  • change sheets
  • read!


6 Snacks that I enjoy...

  • walnuts or pecans
  • peanut M&M!'s
  • ice cream (now banned from the grocery list, thank you :)
  • triscuits and cream cheese (or cheddar slices)
  • chocolate soymilk
  • the leftover frosting (yea-also on the "banned" list)

3 Bad Habits...

  • staying up late
  • letting receipts stack up before entering them in the computer
  • before I leave the house I have to straighten up, etc-thus making me always run later than I would like.....

If I were suddenly a billionaire I would...
do the usual things like pay off debt for me and my family...travel...buy a nice house...donate to church and charity.....but I think I would do it anonymously :)

5 Places I've Lived...(o.k....6)

  • Texas (Houston, Austin, Dallas/Lewisville, Abilene)
  • Europe (England, Germany)
5 Jobs I've Had...(besides a mom)

  • Hospital Admissions/QA/Medical Records Clerk
  • Sales Clerk at Dillard's
  • GA (Graduate Assistant)-but I didn't wear the long skirts and Birkenstocks ;)
  • Speech-Language Pathologist in acute care and rehabilitation
  • Day Care Teacher ( infant room and 18-month-olds)-summer after high school graduation..a "paid mom"
5 Things People Don't Know About Me...

  • I drink tea every day. I occasionally drink coffee if I'm at a fancy coffee place, but a cup of tea is the norm (with milk and some sugar). It's both soothing and reviving.
  • I really enjoy being pregnant. I usually feel really good (except the last pregnancy, where I was more tired and felt more pains). I don't evision ever having more than these five sweet babies in my house, so the pregnancy phase is over. Honestly, I would be a surrogate mother for family or friends if I were younger and didn't need a C-section.
  • I love to plan a pamper myself day at least once a year. It's usually my birthday. I like to have a facial and either a pedicure or manicure. I have to always have my toes painted. I hate having bare toes!
  • My mom told me one time that if I had more friends than I could count on one hand, than I should consider myself lucky. I consider myself BLESSED :)
  • I change decorations in the house for different seasons and holidays. The kids enjoy it and it helps us transition throughout the year.

I love what your mom told you about friends. That is pretty cool.

I remember I heard once that usually you only make a short few real, true, life-long friends. The older I get, the more truth I see in it. There are so many people I thought I would always be "best" friends with, but for some reason things change. But there are the very few who will be a friend forever.
