Now I'm it!

I was tagged by Maren. So, here goes...

What was I doing ten years ago?

I was a stay at home mom with three young children, ages 4, 2 and 11 months! My church calling was teaching the 13 year old Sunday School class.

What was I doing five years ago?

By this time I have six children, ages 9, 7, almost 6, two at age 4 and a 2 year old. I was second counselor in Relief Society. My mother was in fairly good health at this time. She and my dad would come over nearly every weekend so Dale and I could have a date night. Boy I miss those days!

What was I doing one year ago?

At this point I have seven children, ages 13, 11, almost 10, two at age 8, age 6 and a 7 month old. My church calling was the same as it is today, Relief Society President. I now have a built in babysitter, so Dale and I can date again, just not every week!

What was I doing yesterday?

Running around, like most days! I ran to Taneytown to search the Thrift shops for winter clothes for Kaden. I ended up with summer clothes for next year for my three oldest boys. Kaden was with me. Our next stop was Food Lion for this week's bargains. Once home we had lunch and Kaden went down for a nap. Later in the afternoon I took Brady to Gettysburg for his orthodontic appointment. While he was in the chair, I walked the streets of Gettysburg. We rushed home so I could meet up with Shelley and walk again, this time the streets of Littlestown! When I got home there was homework to check and kids to put in bed.

What are five snacks I enjoy eating?

1. Cheese Its, especially Cheddar Jack
2. chocolate covered bridge mix
3. frozen homemade chocolate chip cookies dipped in hot chocolate
4. nearly anything that qualifies as candy
5. pepperoni pizza

What would I would do with $100 million

After tithing, pay off all debts. Next, buy a large piece of land, build a new and larger home. My husband could then quit his job and work in his own shop when and as he pleased. Yes, he would still want to work, just not for someone else. I would set up college funds for all my children. We could travel as a family and not have to camp in order to do so. But, since we like camping, I would buy a new, big RV with all the bells and whistles! There would be a scrapbooking room in our new house with all the latest gizmo's and gadgets. Anyone could use my stuff for their scrapbooking! I would hand over the rest of the money to Dale. He is so good at saving and investing! We could then use our money to live off of and help others.

5 bad habits that I have...

1. cracking my knuckles
2. buying things because it's a bargain
3. napping every chance I get (which isn't often enough!)
4. buying scrapbooking materials that I don't NEED, but just have to have!
5. not reading my scriptures every single day.

5 things I like to do... (In no particular order.)

1. Scrapbooking
2. Eat
3. Get lovin' from my children and hubby!
4. Shop for bargains
5. nap

5 TV shows that I watch...

1. CSI (all three of them)
2. Last Comic Standing (Lavel should have won!)
3. The Young and the Restless (Shh..don't tell!)
4. The Today Show (I just love Ann Curry!)
5. Cold Case

5 biggest joys...

1. Kaden! (Ok, ALL of my children, but you know how it is when they're still a baby!)
2. Spending time with Dale (I have been blessed with a wonderful husband.)
3. being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and all it entails.
4. Finding a great bargain on food or clothes for my family
5. Loosing a pound!
