Miscellany Monday

Once again I am linking up with Carissa for
M I S C E L L A N Y   M O N D A Y. . .

[one]
Monday morning came way too early this morning.  After spending the weekend in Rock Hill at a softball tournament, I needed a few more hours to rest and relax.

[two]
I'm the proud mama of an EMT student!  Charles started going to NETC tonight for a six-month-long EMT class....that's being funded by Marlboro Rescue!  I'm so happy that he has committed to the program!  Way to go Charles!

[three]
I'm watching JR and Karina on "Dancing With the Stars" and WOW!  They are super!!  I'm not usually a fan of dancing and/or singing shows, but this is well worth the time!

[four]
Lawren ate peanut butter on her hot dog and French fries tonight for supper...what's up with that? 

[five]
I truly learned something today at school.  All teenagers seem to be procrastinators!  Two  of my kids came in today and said that they had biology projects due TODAY!!  They had to turn in a model of either a plant cell or an animal cell made from household items....no paper or drawing!  We found play dough, some beads, two safety pins, a bag of wiggle eyes, and a dusty shoe box and managed to eek out two projects in a little over an hour!  It was taxing, but certainly worth the effort on everyone's part....

[six]
Volleyball in Sumter tomorrow....Go Lady Dawgs!

Hope everyone has a
m a r v e l o u s
MONDAY!

Saturday 9: I Put a Spell On You

2. If you could go back in time and relive one moment, what would it be?  I'd relive my wedding day because I would like to take everything in and savor the moments and the beauty of the occasion.

3.If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?   I'd go back and change the evening that my mama died.   I would recognize that she was close to death and I would spend the night with her so I could be with her as she draws her last breath.


4. What movie/TV character do you most resemble in personality?  I resemble the the movie Cheaper by the Dozen....I love my children and their friends, and see a lot of humor in their actions and activities.


5. If you could push one person off a cliff and get away with it, who would it be?  I'd push several of the bullies at school off of a big, tall, steep cliff....


6. Name one habit you want to change in yourself.  I eat too darn much!


7. Describe yourself in one word.  Real


8. List your top three memes that you like to respond to.  Miscellany Monday, What I'm Loving Wednesday, and It's OK Thursday...
