Tag, I'm It...

Well, I've been tagged for the first time, obviously, since this will be my second posted blog... So, if you're interested, read on, if not, oh well.....

5 things I was doing 10 years ago:

Considering marrying the wrong (but great) guy.
Waiting (impatiently) to meet Gar!
Wondering what I wanted to be when I grew up
Feeling a little scared living without a roommate for the first time and wondering if I would get caught housing the coolest cat ever (that thought she was a dog)>
Working part-time at a bank (and making $7.50 an hour, thank you very much!)

5 things on my to do list

Return work phone calls
Figure out my new crap-berry
See if I can get a sitter very last minute for our anniversary dinner (nine years!)
Get my first ever cavity filled. Not fun.
Sign up to take the chicks home that just hatched in Jack's Kind. class.

5 favorite snacks/foods

Rumbi's chips and mango salsa (Trisha, you know I'm right.)
Popcorn at a great movie with peanut M&Ms and a diet Coke
Eggo's waffles with butter and powdered sugar. mmm...
Fresh, salty macadamia nuts
Homeade PB & J, poolside

5 things I would do if I was a billionaire

Buy Jack one (or two or ten) of those like, $5000 cats whose DNA is altered so it doesn't cause allergies. I know it sounds weird, but Gar is deathly allergic and Jack really wants a cat.
Then I'd spend some money making sure Jack is not teased because his mom is "the cat lady."
Travel with my family
Travel with your family
Travel with the whole family


5 bad habits

I chew my nails
I crack my knuckles
I avoid eye contact when I feel uncomfortable
I snore (it is what it is, I wish I didn't)
I screen my calls (oh my gosh, I can't believe I just admitted that. Especially since number 1 on my to do list is to return work calls. Sorry.)

5 places I have lived

Aix en Provence, France
Chicago
Salt Lake City, Ut.
Ft. Collins, Co. (too fun)
Lake Peregin, Somewhere in Washington state. ( the longest 10 days of my life).

Being six is NOT for the Weak!

What you see here is a little boy who just doesn't feel good. I believe the exact words were "Mommy, I'm having an awful day. And I can feel my heart beating in my teeth."

We happened to have a dentist appointment scheduled and they told us that Jack was getting all four of his six year old pre-molars at once. I guess that explains the fever, headache and

'throbbing' in his teeth. Plus he had a loose tooth right in front that was putting a serious damper on what he could and couldn't eat.

So here he is with his lovey and his turtle (what else does one need?) just before what will turn out to be a very rough night. Being six is tough business and definately not for the weak!

If bed head is any indication, I would say Jack woke up feeling better. Plus that darn wiggly tooth finally came out, leaving him with a big appetite and a jack-o-lantern smile. Maybe six isn't all bad. Guess we'll keep at it, at least for now!
