passing along a tag

Thanks Briana for tagging me.  I’ve had no mojo to post lately so hopefully this will get the ball rolling!

049

How did you meet your spouse?

We met when I was a stripper.  Nah! We met  in high school, duh!


Birth weights of your children?

8.7  7.9   8.2   7.11   9.2


Favorite Subject to teach?

I don’t homeschool my children but did in the past. I still like to teach them history, art and music.


Favorite TV Show?

Mad Men, Jimmy Fallon

Last date you were on with just your spouse?

We went to a party on the base. And um, my husband’s boss referred to me as Ken’s daughter instead of wife! And um, I said something dumb in reply. And um, I always seem to get myself into the most embarrassing situations ever.


Least favorite household chore?

Scrubbing the showers.


What do you like to do in your" spare" time?
read, sew, walk,  play piano (boy I sound like a lot of fun)


Small town or big city?
small town but I like to travel

How long have you been married?

Nearly 18 years


Were your children born at home or at the hospital?

In the hospital, but I have always dreamed of a home birth. My deliveries include three forcep, one vacuum extraction and a c-section.  Yay!


How many states and which ones have you lived in?
(8) Connecticut, Virginia, Hawaii, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Texas (also Philippines, Turkey, and The Netherlands)


What is your favorite flower?
blue hydrangea


What is the biggest challenge your children present you with?

I suppose it’s fear. I am afraid to let them go to an overnight at a friend’s house.  I’m afraid to let them out of my sight, I’m afraid when they are sick, I’m afraid to let them watch PG 13 movies even when they are 12.75 years old.  I’m afraid to let them grow up and move away.
 
Where do you dream of visiting?
China or Japan to buy fabric and Hello Kitty stuff


If you could live in any country, which one would you choose?
Besides the good ol USA I would live in England


Favorite board or card game?
Parcheesi! I love Parcheesi, and I like to play mean.

Feel free to copy and paste this post and fill in with your own answers.

Oooh, this was fun to read! Thanks for playing along.

I didn't know you had homeschooled. I should have worded that question differently.

Sounds like we need to hear the story of your last date!

I face the fear monster almost every day with my children. My biggest fear is that I'm not a good enough mom.

Hmm, do you like English literature? That is why I want to live in England.

I was doing really well with my blogging last week and this week has gone flat. Up, down, up, down, that is how my writing goes.

My son swore he was the ONLY kid at school who was not allowed to watch PG 13 movies until he was 13. (It hasn't seemed to hamper his social development.)

I didn't know your favorite flower is a blue hydrangea! That's mine too! Planted 4 hydrangea's a few years ago - just gorgeous. Now I'll think of you! Glad someone tagged you - you are such an inspiration to so many.

You and I are so much alike. The question about the kids sounds like I answered it. I DREAD when someone new invites one the girls over to "spend the night". PG-13 movies are SO off limits here too. You've lived in TURKEY!! Wow, I didn't know you were such a world traveler. We've gotta meet someday :)

That was fun! Just plain fun and a great way to get to know you. Good gravy you have lived almost everywhere on earth and beyond!
I loved your opening line about being a stripper...you make me laugh! Good medicine for the soul before bedtime.

I detest cleaning showers.
Glass shower doors and hard water do not mix:(
Blue Hydrangas were my wedding flowers!
They are one of my favorites as well:)
Hope your weekend is awesome!

You are too funny.

People accuse me of trying to protect my kids and I just say Hell yeah.

I was always "THAT MOM" who picked my kid up at 11pm at a sleepover, because what fun could you have that could be worth losing a night of sleep? And that's the least of my fears, yes.

And have you ever noticed that PG13 movies can be extremely raunchy? And some R movies are a lot cleaner but just more interesting, that's all.

I would rather my kids and I not cringe our way through a Jim Carrie movie. (Liar Liar is so funny and has a great heartwarming theme of a dad coming to his senses but oh the sex! Really? It really had to be made that way?)
