About Me

I got this email from a friend today. The point is to read their answers, then return the email with your answers so that you can learn more about each other. Since I’ve been out of the blogging loop recently, I thought for my return I would post my answers for all of you to learn more about me.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?
My children leaving home and my children coming back.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?
Well, I would have to just stick with the general title of ‘Food’. I’m no longer very picky.

WHAT IS YOUR NATURAL HAIR COLOR?
A rich chocolate brown with soft auburn highlights. Ok, so I haven’t seen my natural color in about 15 years, but I can dream can’t I?

HAVE YOU TRAVELED?
I’ve tried, but Brett has given my photo to all Border Patrol Agents as a runaway mom and they keep making me go back home.

DO YOU SCRUNCH OR FOLD (TOILET PAPER)?
So, we are operating under the assumption that the children haven’t used all the remaining toilet paper to mummify each other and that I’m not forced to drip dry? Definitely scrunch – who has time to fold?

HAVE YOU LOVED SOMEONE SO MUCH IT MADE YOU CRY?
I love them so much, that is WHY I cry.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT?
Er, next question please….

MERCEDES BENZ OR LEXUS?
Clearly my friends are more upper scale than I. I’m afraid I’m going to have to stick with what I know – DODGE!

FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (Brett’s days off). Er, unless he’s in a bad mood, then my favorite days are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT
Anyplace where I don’t have to cook or do dishes!

FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH
The WWF that occurs in my house everyday.

FAVORITE DRINK
DOUBLE SHOT MOCHAS!! However, I’m desperately trying to acquire a taste for whiskey

FAVORITE ICE CREAM
Starbuck’s Java Chip. Not only is this the best ice cream on earth, but my husband hates coffee and I’d rather die than give my kids caffine, so it’s AAALLL MINE!!

FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
Whatever is fast and, er, food.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR CARPET?
“Watch out that’s my coffee!! Aaahhhhh….”
“Mama! Baby bahf!”
“Oops, I poo poo’d”
“Run to the potty! Run to the potty! Run to the…. Crap.”
Who on earth knows what the original color was?

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Are you serious?? I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom to 4 boys. Whatever hobbies I once had were wrenched my limp and lifeless hands 7 years ago.

BEDTIME
Well, MY bedtime is supposed to be 10pm, given that the children’s bedtime is 8pm, but since most nights the children don’t get to bed until 10pm, that means I usually don’t get to bed until sometime between 12am-3am depending on how many kids and how many times they attempt the ‘I need a drink’, ‘I have to go potty again’, ‘What day is tomorrow?’, ‘Is that a movie you’re watching?? Can I watch it too?!? Is it appropriate for kids?? Why do you watch movies that aren’t appropriate for kids? Shouldn’t it be inappropriate for you too?’

WHAT MEANS THE MOST TO YOU?
Having a friend that will let me crawl through her door with 4 rowdy kids and watch 17 episodes of “What NOT to Wear” then promises to turn me in so I can go shopping in New York for 5 days without any kids. Oh yeah, and World Peace.

FAVORITE TV SHOW
I like to watch the news. It makes me feel like my life isn’t nearly as sad as I think.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
Yellow. It’s the color of sunshine. It’s the color of hope.

WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE MOST IN YOUR FUTURE?
Knowing that someday I will only be responsible for wiping 1 bottom and cutting 1 plate of food – MINE!

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
On 1 acre in NW Montana. I’ve been trying to get my own apartment in town for a few years, but they won’t let me leave.

HOW MANY PETS DO YOU HAVE?
Are we talking pets or actual animals that live on my property? We have 10 goats, 25 chickens, 738 mice and 1 good for nothing vegetarian cat.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE YOU DIE?
My aspirations aren’t very high – I’d just like to die with the same amount of sanity that I entered parenthood with.
