I Got Tagged
Until now, I did not know the game of “Tag” existed in the world of blogging. I am still just a newbie here trying to figure out what to write about, and how to make this blog work properly. Anyway, it was a fun surprise to get tagged! 
I feel like I “met” someone in this blogging community. I was tagged by Aiming High, and have enjoyed going back to her site several times to look around.
Well in order to play the game right, I must post the rules:
(1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog.
(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
The 6 random people that I chose (because I like their blogs) are:
A Five Smooth Stones
B Camp Creevey
C Palms of His Hands
D Six Kids and a Small Farm
E White Oak Adventures
F Beauty For Ashes
Now for the hard part~~~
Six non-important things/habits/quirks about me: (In no particular order)
1. I have to have my house clean before we go on vacation. Partially because I don’t want to come back to a messy house. But here’s the “quirky” part. I have this little bit of fear that if something happens to us while we are gone, or if something happens to the house while we are gone, someone will have to go inside – and I don’t want them to see that I left the house in a mess!
2. I have to bring a sweater with me most everywhere I go. If I don’t, I freeze. I guess we must keep our
house temperature warmer then most people’s homes, stores, offices, etc. Our church keeps the temperature so cold that if I forget to bring my sweater, we travel half way home in July before I'm ready for the car’s air conditioner to be turned on. I need time to “thaw.”
3. Shhhhh!!! Don’t tell anyone, but my closet is stuffed with crafts! I have a big walk in closet in our bedroom that is all mine. (Dh has a good-sized closet of his own.) My closet has some clothes, some shoes, a tall bookcase, and the rest is full of crafts. Every time I go in the closet to use something, I seem to bring more items back to it to be put away then I started with. I’m not sure how this happens, but I think that my crafts secretly have babies while they are out of the closet.
4. Speaking of closets, we have a bookcase in every closet in the house – except the linen closets. Our homeschool books become memories to me and I have a hard time parting with them. I am to the point now where I check as many books as I can out of the library so that I have no choice but to part with them.
5. The older I get, the less strict I have become. Maybe I am practicing for the day we will become grandparents. I don’t know what it is, but it seems less important to me that my youngest child is in bed at an exact time then it did for my older 2. It also seems less important to me that she keep a perfectly straight room, although I don’t like it when game pieces get separated from their games.
6. If I had my way, I would love for each of our children to live very close to us when they are grown. My biggest fear is that one or more will move out of state or even worse, overseas. I moved away from home at a very young age, and now wish that I had been able to spend more time with my family up north – especially holidays.
There you go. Six Things You Really Never Needed to Know About Me. Errr… I mean Six Non-Important/Habits Quirks About Me.
