Boys'R'Us - I'm IT again...

I'm IT again...

Sweet, sweet socalval from Just4homeschoolfamilies has tagged me. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this "tagged" thing.....still not the best at coming up with interesting, random facts about myself though.   People love to talk about themselves and then you ask them to tell you something and they are suddenly speechless. LOL.

TAG RULES:

We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
1. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight
things and post these rules.
3. 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

**************************
I know you're sitting on the edge of your chairs in excited anticipation, waiting to hear eight new interesting facts about me, so....

1. I'm afraid of spiders. Not your normal girlie "Ack a spider!" kind of thing....my husband would be thrilled if that were all that it was. No, I can't even look at them without getting shivers. See, now I'm thinking about them and freaking out...

2. We built a house with woods behind us and a wooded lot in front of us....spiders think that my yard is heaven on earth.   Yes, I freak out on a regular basis. Maybe that's why God gave me three boys. My own personal, live-in, spider killers.

3. And....to give you an honest representation of myself....I'm also the one in the background saying "Don't kill it".

4. No more spider talk.

5. My husband has dark brown hair and brown eyes....and all three of our children were born with blond hair and blue eyes. They say it can't happen...but, my sons are hear to tell you that it can. I have blue eyes and my hair is blond in the summer time. More brown in the winter now that I'm older. (The sun changes my hair color very quickly). Now the only one with really blond hair is my five year old.

6. My husband was born with a cleft palate. These days that's a fairly easy thing to fix. In 1968, I'm told that he wasn't expected to live. How far science has come. His father had a plane and they flew to North Carolina for his surgeries and appointments. (Apparently those were the best doctors for this at that time.) Kids now are 'lucky' - only three surgeries or so and they're on with life. I can't remember the number of surgeries my husband has had?? I think it was 30something. And still needs two more.

7. Eight? Really?

8. I don't like coffee. Love the smell of it - hate the taste of it.

There it is kids....more than you ever wanted to know about me. And, there are eight of you who need to beware. Anyone outside of Homeschool Blogger wanna play?
