My Life Monday...

Your topic for next week is to write a 6 word life memoir. This is inspired by Ernest Hemingway. It is said he was once challenged to write a story in 6 words. His story was "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn."

Mom? Now are we there YET?

MY LIFE MONDAY!

Okay so the topic is the me not so many ppl know. Well lets see I was born in Cali to a Navy dad and SAHM. I was the first kid in the fam to wear disposable dipers ! OOOOO! LOL. We moved 3 times in 5 yrs. I broke my baby nose 3 times in 5 yrs LOL! Lets say my older brother (the one who is 7 yrs older than me) had issues with the new baby *ME* and would do whatever he could to hurt me and make it look like an accident. Fast forward to the early years... my parents split up when I was in third grade and I almost failed 3rd grade. At this time though I took a lot of frustration out in the pool. On breaks I would swim literally about 10 hours a day. I loved it. I miss it. I wasnt born a member I converted in High School. I was 17. My mom totally disagrees with the Church. She sent me her churches mags for the first 2 yrs I was married. LOL.

Now the thing most ppl dont know about me is I have an AVID love of books. I would read every minute of every day if I could. The other is I love playing online role playing games like Everquest, World of Warcraft etc. I also love to make afghans. I dont like making ANYTHING else but I like making them. LOL!

I guess thats me...

My Life Monday...

Food likes and dislikes.....

My favorite foods are food?? No probably my favorite type of food is MEXICAN! OH BABY! My favorite single food... FRESH BAKED YEAST ROLLS! Favorite fruit... oh hmm cherries and peaches. Freshed picked ones off the orchard are best. Favorite veggie... OH BOY! Salad veggies I love salad. So tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, etc. I know bad but true favorite drink is COKE and most missed drink (since I am a convert) is SWEET TEA!
My favorite candy... snickers almond or almond roca. My favorite thing lately though has been GRILLED SALMON! Trust me if you knew me you would know I DONT DO FISH! However I tried this last summer and since then its like a severe craving like sonic cherry limeades...

My foods I dislike??? I dont like cooked greens of any sort. I dont like pomegranetes (SP?) and I dont like ANY V8 drinks. I dont like slimy okra... fried is awesome but not just slimy YUCK!

I love most foods as you can see. FOOD IS MY FRIEND :D !!!


Life...

My life Monday... Late again LOL

A growing experience. Share with us something that helped you grow in your life, whether good or bad...

Something that helped me grow in my life was getting married and having kids. When you get married you have to learn an all new form of sharing... cuz you have to share EVERYTHING and not like a sibling LOL! You all of a sudden have this person who you love but are not used to sharing all the intimate details of your life with yet you sleep with them, eat with them, and more things .... LOL! Then comes a passel of kids... I guess 4 qualifies for that LOL! You have to learn how to share everything all over again your body, your breast (if you bf) and your bed! LOL! Sleep becomes a moot point. You learn to be patient cuz getting upset with any of the afore mentioned ppl gets EVERYONE upset. You also have to learn to discipline children. What is tooo much and what doesnt work at all. You GROW soooo much from being a wife and a parent. Another thing you learn how when you went to school and hated it that now its your kids turn! LOL! Actually my kids LOVE school and cry if they cant go (like dr appts, etc) like my monkey #3 who after I ironed a shirt for him for some strange reason he stuck his hand on the unplugged and off iron BUT still HOT Iron... Went STRAIGHT to the docs... when they said okay here you go and took care of it and said keep it dry and clean and put this on 2x a day... TAKE ME TO SCHOOL MOM! Are you sure? YEP NOW MOM! haha. Now this he begs to stay home and wants to be homeschooled but i think that is because he wants to HOG my puter to himself LOL!

Off to the long list in a life of care...

My Life Monday (late... cuz its the first time)

My Life Monday...

About someone we love. WOW I have four LOVELY lil monkeys I love but I am choosing My baby sister. I never really talk about her. We HATED each other from about the time we were BOTH in school so about 3rd grade for me LOL! I dont know what started it but I remember it has always been a very big tension between us. WELLLL about 6 yrs ago that tension finally seeped out. We were both very grown up and on to our own lives and not focusing on each other I guess.

Anyways I dont have ANY pictures of her but I PROMISE to get one. The reason I am choosing her on this Valentines week and not my own family is...
MY BABY SISTER IF FINALLY GETTING MARRIED! Yes she is! She is getting married on hubby's birthday! Which of course just happens to be the day before mine! It is something I very much want to attend and she really wants me to come BUT alas I just dont know how in the world I am going to be able to afford going... with 4 lil monkeys a trip from south Cali to New England is a tad bit expensive. Especially only for 2 days. Anyways she is getting married on a ship and she is sooo excited. They will be honeymooning in Europe! WOWOW!

Anyways I am so happy, ecstatic, over the moon that my baby sister is coming into her own and going to join the "Old Lady" crowd!
