Schools Out For Summer!

So today was the girls last day of school!  I officially have a 3rd grader and a 5th grader.   UMM this means I am super duper close to having a middle schooler!!   When the heck did that happen???  I mean I am not possibly old enough to have one child close to middle school, one child more than 1/2 way through elementary school, a preschooler and a newly toddler!  Its just not possible I tell ya. 

In honor of it being summer the first thing that popped into my head was this song.  Maybe that tells my age (not that I was born when it was played but hey thats neither here nor there!) but I am not old enough to have kids growing up this fast!

Getting to know YOU Sunday

Its Sunday which means its time for another round of Getting to know YOU from MannLand5! 

1. Do you have a fetish?  Nope cant say I do! 


2. Do you sing in the shower?  No way!  I would probably scare everyone in the house if I did.  I will keep singing to the times I am alone in the car (which is almost never) so I dont have to torture anyone.

3. Who was your first crush?  Oh geez...I guess it would have to be the boy who lived down the road from my Papaw.  He was actually my first kiss too! Guess the crush worked both ways. 

4. What do you think is the best manly trait a guy could have?  To be caring yet not too sensitive.  I think men think that showing some sensitivity is feminine but when you look at a loving, caring, sensitive man it shows how strong and manly he really is.  He isnt ashamed to show it either!

5. Do you sleep naked?  Sometimes.  When Daddy is home mostly but when he is gone no way!  I end up with too many kids in my bed randomly so its easier to have some clothing on then!

6. What do you do when (you think) no one is looking? Depending on the situation I make faces at them, chew on my cheek, pick the wedgies, oh I am sure there are many more!

7. What's the first thing you do when you go online? Check my email. 

8. Summer is.....?  Hot, noisy, busy, relaxing, fun, crazy, and so on and so forth.  There are so many emotions that go with summer

5 Question Friday

Wait how did it get to be Friday already??  I completely missed most of this week.  Oh well if its Friday then that means its time for 5 Question Friday with Mama M over at My Little Life!! 

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?  Nope no Iphone for me!  I am now a Crackberry Blackberry user now.


2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?  Probably the most vivid memory is when I found out I had chicken pox.  I was in 3rd grade and it was my very first year at a new school so yep guess who was so completely embarrassed when 1/2 the class ended up with chicken pox in the next week or so!!  If you guessed me then you were absolutely correct.  If not then well sorry can't help you there. :)


3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching? Someones feet. I love getting a pedicure but can't imagine how those people get over touching peoples feet!   They are just overall yucky to me!


4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?  Oh as of this week it would have to be Supernanny.  My kiddos need an attitude adjustment.  Hopefully they wouldnt scare her away though!  If not here then it would have to be one of those organizational gurus, who cares which one!  As long as they will organize my house I will be forever grateful.


5. What would you say is your best physical feature?  Crud I have no clue!  If I had to guess I would say my eyes.  If you had asked this a couple of years ago I would have said my legs but they have decided to revolt on me along with my rear end, stomach, hips, etc!!  Darn this getting older thing.

Wordless Wednesday

Don't mess with the 3 year old!! 

Ok so I feel the need to explain this picture!  I saw this in my room and asked why her doll was standing there with tape on her mouth and "A" replied that she had thrown a toy and was in time out!  No clue where the tape comes into play b/c I certainly never put tape on the kids mouth!!

This post is linked to Wordless Wednesday

UMM YUCK!

I saw this picture on a friends Facebook page and it just made my stomach turn so I thought I would share it with all of you!  Makes you wonder now doesn't it??

After the weekend and so far week I have had I needed some humor.  I have had a very sick boy who was running a temp between 101-105.5!!  Talk about scaring a mommy senseless (I am short on that as is).  After a visit to the Doctor in which he threw up all over himself, the Dr (sorry Dr. J!) and the floor we were diagnosed with Strep Throat.  He is only running a low grade temp today but sure is grumpy.  I cannot wait for him to feel better.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

Getting to know YOU Sunday

Its Sunday which means Getting to know YOU over at MannLand5!   Head on over and get to know some other people.

1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....?  UMM does it have to be mine?? If not then it would be Daddy's uniforms!  If it has to be mine then I would say my ball gowns.  I definitely do not have expensive clothing or shoes.  Hello mother of 4 kiddos..haha!


2. Have you ever played a team sport? Yep I played softball way back in the day.  I loved it but decided I would rather ride horses instead so softball got kicked to the curb.


3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be?  HMM..maybe a ladybug?  My kids seem to love them so I know they would still love me if I had to be a bug!


4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned?  The tushie for sure!!  Who would want to get burned on their tushie?  You wouldnt be able to sit down anywhere without hurting.  (And no I will not tell you how I know this!!)


5. Are you happy?  Most days yes.  I was letting the unhappiness take over a while back but have decided that I am the one who determines my happiness and I want to be happy so there you have it!


6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them?  OMG..yep typing it right then about killed me!  Everytime I see it all I can hear is some 16 yr old smart mouthed girl saying it and its like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.


7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?  I do love where I live but would love to venture to other places one day but cold places are not on my list!!


8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full? I usually just set it to the side when I am full.  Some days I will go back and keep snacking on it depending on what it is but when I am full I am full and there is nothing else entering my mouth.

5 Question Friday

 
Its time for Mama M's 5 Question Friday! Head on over to My Little Life and enjoy reading others answers and/or participate yourself!

1. Take your pick...date night, girls night out, or night out alone?  Man this one is hard!  Right now I would choose a girls night out only b/c Daddy isnt here but when he is home I would definitely choose Date night!

2. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? I most certaintly can!  My girls think its funny when I do it and want to learn how.  One day I will sit down with them and teach them.  Yep there you go...I am gonna teach my kiddos the most important thing in life right??

3. What is your favorite flower and why?  I have always loved roses but I think overall the Hydrangea is my favorite.  Yes I know its more of a plant than an actual flower but they do flower and thats the part I absolutely love.  It reminds me of being at my Papaw's house in the summer after being at the country club all day.  One day I will have some in my garden/backyard!

4. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself?  Don't sweat the small stuff.  I am working on that very thing right now b/c I let the smallest of things get to me and make a great day into a bad day in a second.  For instance I had one of those days Wed night so I went home, got kids in bed, went to sleep and started Thurs off brand new!  Its working so good so far and I am going to keep up with it.

5. If you won the lottery, what is the very first thing you would do?  You do mean after I scream, jump up and down and then faint right?  You do?  Oh good.  Well then this is what I would do.  We would pay off all of our bills.  If we are in our current house we will sell it and move into one more accomidating. If we are in a different house then we will just pay it off.  After that we will invest a good bit but also help his family out where we can.  We also want to put some into an interest bearing account.  Can you tell we have talked about this a whole lot yet we dont buy lottery tickets..haha!
