7 Things ...

I got tagged on Kim's Blog ... so here goes.


The rules:


Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some weird, some random.


Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.


1. I think I'm addicted to shopping. I officially decided this last week - but it was confirmed tonight when I went to Meijer to pick up snorkel masks, fish nets (no, not hose, the kind the kids will use at the beach!) and tennis balls and came out with $80 worth of random things including buy-two get-two free chewy sprees, hooded towels for the kids and not including fish nets or tennis balls! I'm a sucker for the impulse buys!


2. I'm also addicted to email. My laptop sits on the built-in desk in my kitchen and I glance over for new messages each time I walk by. Probably averaging 20 times in an 8 hour period. SAD!



3. I LOVE babies. My mom told me recently "you can't keep having babies just because you like babies". WHY NOT? Oh yeah, they grow up ... but how can't you love this???

4. I drive too fast. When I pull away from a stop light and my 3 year old daughter says "Mommy - you're gonna get a ticket", do you think I should slow down a bit? No wonder I'm getting 13 miles to the gallon!

5. I'm a picture-a-holic. I take pictures like CRAZY - but often don't do a thing with them once they're on the computer. That's sad. I wish I had time to!

6. I am so happy and thankful that I am home with my kids and I wouldn't change it for the world (don't even think about it Austin). But I do miss my work - especially the people I used to work with. Especially the guys that became the brothers I never had - even though some of them were older than my dad :) There was something great about each and every one of them!

7. I am SO thankful for my family. I love my babies and the man that gave them to me. And I am SO fortunate to have the MOST amazing extended family in the world. I wish I could keep my kids just as they are now, we can all fit on the rocking chair - just if I could keep them still long enough to cuddle with me!!!


Sorry - that was boring, but I can't let Kim down!!


Now my turn to tag 7 of my friends! Not many of them blog - I may be able to come up with 5.
