My Answers to the Tag Questions!!!!!

OK--Here we go.

10 years ago I think I was home schooling Andrew. It was also a year before Dad retired, so we were gearing up for that. I loved home schooling. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done with my children. Of course, Andrew was so easy to work with. He wanted this in his life, and did everything he was required to do. It was a special time.

Snacks I enjoy. I like cookies, but I love crackers. Peanut M&M's are good too. But alas, none of these are very good for me. So I rarely snack now. In the evening, I'll have a piece of string cheese; for the protein.

I enjoy reading, playing on my DS, playing computer games, crocheting, doing crossword puzzles etc. I'd like to learn to paint in oils. I want to do landscapes. Oh, I almost forgot. I love to cross stitch.

If I was suddenly made a billionaire, I'd be in shock. Then I'd pay off the mortgage, and all the mortgages of my children. For those that don't have their own homes yet, I'd buy them one. I'd like to do anonymous donating to people who are in need. Maybe a motorized wheelchair for someone who can't afford it, WalMart gift cards to families struggling with bills, college funds for who ever needed them in the family. There are so many ways to make a difference, and I'd try and find them all.

Only 3 bad habits?? I'm addicted to sugar. It is very hard for me to resist it, but it does very nasty things to my body. I procrastinate housework. If I just kept up, then I wouldn't have to scramble when I needed a clean house. I do not have patience for stupid people.

5 jobs that I've had. Counter girl at a candy shop, teachers aide, Convergys, Lakeside Reading Center, mom.

5 things people don't know about me. 1) My feelings get hurt really easy, but I usually keep it inside. If you hurt my feelings, you probably won't know you did. 2) I don't like to make mistakes. It devastates me. 3) When I'm in large groups of people, I'm very shy, and won't say much. But one on one, I'm not shy at all. 4) I try very hard to never think bad about any one. I'm not always successful, but I do try. 5) I'm content with my own company. I don't have to have tons of people around me to be happy. I don't mind lots of people, I just don't need it.

I don't know what all this says about me phycologically, but there I am.
