Duckygirl tagged me so here goes:  1. All right, here are the rules. 2. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.3. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.4. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 5. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog. So here are 8 things about me....

1.  I prefer icing over cake so I save calories by just eating icing straight out of the container . . . no cake required!  Ha!  :o)

2.  I'm good at throwing tissues, french fries, or candy to the kids  (even those sitting in the back of our 15 passenger van) while we are stuck in traffic.  And they're good at catching, too.

3.  I'd rather watch a movie than read a book, and I love to read books.

4.  Jeans, a sweatshirt, and soft socks are my favorite things to wear.

5.  Favorite place to wear those is on an easy hike to a beautiful waterfall in the Blue Ridge Mountains during very chilly weather.

6.  I love cheese, ice cream, butter, and mayo but do without them for nine (plus) months of almost every year while nursing a food allergic child!

7.  When I'm stressed or angry I like to go for a drive (ALONE) and BLAST country music through the radio.

8.  Even on my absolute worst, most stressful days there is nothing I'd rather be than a homemaker in my house and wife to my hubby and mom to my kids.

Let me clarify that.  In that scenario there is nothing I'd rather be than those three things . . . while on a mom's getaway for a retreat to a mountain! :o)

Bending the rules:  I am tagging all of you ladies who will do this and please leave me a comment that you've done so--including non-homeschoolbloggers EmilyG, LizMcCrea, and Ann!  :o)
