Tagged!!

The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
Each player answers the questions about themselves.
At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 Years ago: I had to cheat and look in my journal--I am getting old and forgetful! Ten years ago I was Relief Society President, working part time at Walton Feed and trying to keep up with my home and family. Kami was keeping us running just tying to keep up with her. She was in Stars Dance, playing a deer in the middle school play and having fun with her friends. DeLoy was still working at Monsanto and thinking about retiring. We had 5 grandchildren; Kim was expecting Morganne and Chris was expecting Kasin--Wow have we grown in 10 years!

5 things on my to do list for today: Exercise, pick up the house, get sausage tortellini soup in the crockpot, make a list for DeLoy to pick things up in town, get things planned for the weekend, get to work and hope the internet comes up, update my blog, work on the family newsletter, go to the quilt class at the church and work on my binding, scriptures---whoops that is more than 5--I got busy thinking about what all I need to get done!!

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Not invest any of it in the stock market, Pay to get the sewer up to our house (Yes, we are tired of problems with our septic tank), take all of our family on some nice vacations, buy a little home south for the winter time, make sure our parents and in-laws have all the help and things they need for this stage of their life, put lots into good charity organizations, volunteer to do charity work in countries that need it, make sure all our family has storage and save for the future.

3 of my bad habits are: Procrastinating--sorry if I have passed that on to my kids! licking my lips while I am concentrating, chewing on things, like pencils, pens ect. and making them a mess

5 places I've lived: Paris, Montpelier, Paris, and it feels like I live at the Community Center--- and that is only four---two really!!

5 jobs I have had: Culligan Soft Water in the office, Tri-State Bank as a teller, Phil's Travel Service and Clover Creek Travel, Walton Feed Cannery, Substitute teacher and cook in the schools, Paris Community Center

Things most people don't know about me: Wow, this is hard---I can't snap my fingers very well, I used to feel very insecure, shy, and uncomfortable around people I didn't know but now I like to meet new people and talk and talk!! I am messy and klutzy-- not a messie, I like things clean, organized and not cluttered. I am getting more like my mom thank goodness. I still have a major way to go; I have stash and dash rooms and lots of clutter but I am slowly improving. When I paint anything the paint is everywhere! Tanja used to blame me for getting paint on Her when we tole painted--she just needed someone to blame! When I paint the house it is not just on the walls! When I bake and cook it is everywhere and I can usually spill on myself when I eat. I trip over my feet, DeLoy's feet, up the stairs etc. and I can drop things, accidently fling them, break things and so on and so on. DeLoy thinks that I am going to poke his eye out one day or maime him. But hey, I've read the Secret so I am trying to think graceful and clean!

I can't think of one person to tag let alone five!! So Kami you are just lucky that I did this!!

Wow, I didn't think you were that clumsy, but in here you sound like you are a disaster waiting to happen. Maybe you've been reading too much Twilight! It was fun to read this. Oh, and about passing on the procrastinating thing...you did....or most people are just naturally that way. Love you Mom!!
