Okay. Jan (aka "Tookie") has challenged me to list 10 honest things. About me. (gulp)
1. Honestly, I don't like teenagers. I mean, I like MY teenagers. And some of their friends. But as a group - nope.
2. I have a terrible memory. I'm pretty good at covering it up, but I can't remember names very well or numbers. It's sad, really.
3. I like it when the kitten sleeps on my bed.
4. I wanted Aaron to be a girl. I mean, I love him as he is. But when I found out I was pregnant, already having 2 boys and only one girl, I REALLY wanted another girl. Luckily, I had to have an ultrasound and found out he was a boy, so by the time he arrived, we were all okay with another boy.
5. I'm addicted to McDonald's sweet tea. I minimize the sugary effect by getting it "half and half" (half sweet, half unsweet), but I have at least one every day.
6. I am also addicted to shopping at Amazon. I love buying the latest children's books, CSI Miami on DVD for Steven, and "Numb3rs" or "NCIS" on DVD for me.
7. I'm terrible with money. I mean, I get by. My bills get paid. But mostly I'm NOT a financial genius.
8. I feel lost without my iPhone. I don't like going anywhere without it. And I love checking my e-mail on it.
9. Honestly, I don't think I was as good a wife as I could have been the first time I was married. I still don't think that justifies my ex for doing and saying all the horrible things he did and said to me AND the kids, but looking back, I can see how some of the unhappiness was my fault. It took me several years after the divorce to even acknowledge that.
10. I love eating brownie mix uncooked. Always have, always will.
BONUS: I honestly and truly love my kids, my job, my house, my life, and especially the man I love. He's a keeper! (big smile)
I tag: Trukindog, Superwoman, Blondefabulous, Metalmom, Sayre, and AmyD.

Great List!! I think you did good. I had to laugh about not liking teenagers. LOL
I have to agree with #1. I'm sure your teenagers are okay, but almost all the rest of them annoy the crap outta me. ;-)
I'm done!
jGrrl already tagged me for this one and I'm still workin on it. :)
Anonymous - I ain't skeered of you. If you spill the beans on me, I'll spill 'em right back on YOU. I know things.....(wink).
Tookie - Well, it's something you tend to kind of downplay when THREE of your kids actually ARE teenagers.
Jay - Even my own kids "annoy the crap" out of me from time to time. But for the most part they're tolerable.
Superwoman - Already read it. Great answers.
T-dog - Well, then get BUSY, ya goof!
J.

RE: #9. The blame for break-ups rarely rest with one person. By acknowledging that, you gain your freedom and learn from your errors. Congratulations.
Good post. I like your walking frog.
I did it! Come on over and see!
