5 little things….

Filed under: mommy stuff, Life — Amber(Homeschool Diva) @ 9:39 am

Here is another silly installment of 5 little things about me.  Today I am taking our kids to their homeschool PE co-op in the morning, shooting a newborn session and then brainstorming with a friend for a bit and finally trying to squeeze a run in.  So quickly before we head out the door for a day of organized play…

1. I have worn that toe ring for about 16 years.  Isn’t that interesting? The other night, someone said to me, “That toe ring is so cute.” I said, “Oh thanks, I have had that for a long time.” and then I counted the number of years I have had it and I realized time is moving much faster then my mind and body realize.

2. I have moved 10 times in almost 15 years of marriage.  Yikes that is about every 1.5 years.  The longest we have ever lived in the same home is 4 years, so I don’t know why I think I will be in any one home for more then that.

3.  I drive a minivan - but trust me, I AM still cool.  It is paid for and we will drive it until it is dust. Then I secretly want to get an old school open top land rover like our friends in Peru.  Only I want mine to be red and beat up.  Sand from the beach will rinse right out of that one.  Hey it isn’t eco friendly but I don’t drive a ton, and I recycle, use cloth napkins, never use paper plates and eat organic as much as possible so give me a break.

4. I hate doing puzzles, because I get addicted and can’t stop trying to figure it out.  We have a 550 piece one right now under the couch and I am the only one doing it? Nice.

5.  Last night I laughed so hard, I feel off the couch and starting rolling on the floor with tears in my eyes.  I just couldn’t take it.  I was truly one of the best and funny moments I have had in a while. Laughing is good medicine, it keeps you young, and clearly rolling on the floor makes you look young.

Grace and Peace to all comedians today.  Go have a good laugh!

  1. Ack! Puzzles . . . they’re the bain of my exsistence! My 5 year old likes a challenge and she’s forever dragging out my 500+ piece puzzles, and then asking mommy “innocently” to help her. Then it’s like a monster gets ahold of me! Long after she’s moved on to something else, I’ll be sitting there putting the finishing touches on it, when I need to be doing something like HOUSEWORK!

  2. Love puzzles. We have to have an elaborate covering system (blanket over coffee table) so that the cat does not run off with the pieces. Cause he will. Worst puzzle ever? Pic of playing cards thrown down on the table. Two-sided and the whole puzzle was shaped like the piles of cards. And BOTH sides were the same. We never finished it.
