My house of munchkins

A southern mom trying to raise her kids in a crazy world.

Random Dozen

Linda at 2nd Cup  hosts this meme.  I enjoyed reading all the links. Then I decided since I was getting back into my posting I’d try this one.

1. Define a great relationship.

 Great relationships come from  strong faith  in God.  He is the one that helps us develop and maintain a relationship.  Jason and I have been married almost 13 years.  We know each others strengths and weaknesses.  We don’t always agree, but we listen and work through problems that try to come between us. 

2. Why is it called a “drive-through” if you have to stop? (Real question: What was the last food/drink you purchased at a drive-through?)  At lunch I had a Diet Coke at Sonic.  I’m sure I’ve only mentioned a hundred times that Sonic has the BEST Diet Coke… I think it’s all the ice! 

3. As I type this, the Butler Bulldogs are getting ready to play in the NCAA championship game. Every Hoosier is hysterical about this except me. So in honor of the Bulldogs … what is your favorite breed of dog? (I tried.)  Uh Oh… I’m gonna lose some major readers from this question!  Let’s just say dogs are not my favorite.  I don’t swerve to miss them if they run out in the street.  I’m not mean to them, but I don’t encourage them to stay around either.  Really…. I don’t like dogs.  Ok send on the mean comments.  I’m a big girl I can take it… maybe.

4. If you had to move to a state besides the one you currently live in, where would you move?  Is there a state that has good warm summers and freezing cold winters?  I wanna live where I can swim in the summer and build snowmen in the winter!

5. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?  Nothing. Short answer, but that is it.  I love everything about my childhood.

6. Who’s the funniest person you know?  My crazy boss, Cal!  He is always pulling some kind of prank on us.  He is full of surprises!

7. Did you get enough sleep last night? I don’t think that’s possible with three kids and a husband that goes to work before 5. 

8. What’s the first thing you thought about this morning?  I AM GONNA BE LATE!  Jason took his sweet time in the shower.  No hot water when I got in there.  Plus…. the bulb popped and it was DARK! 

9. Grilled or Fried? –HONESTLY
Grilled burgers and fried everything else.

10. Are you afraid of the dark? Guess not since I took a shower in the dark this morning.

11.When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A psychologist for the hearing impaired.  Boy, did I miss that one….

12. If you had one word to describe yourself , what would you choose? emotional.  Probably not a good word, but true.  I can go from happy to sad in 3 seconds flat.  No, I’m not dealing with any medical problems.  I just let my emotions show. I try to teach my kids to be the same way.  Don’t wear your feelings on your sleeve, but do let everyone know when you are happy, when they better walk away, or when you need a shoulder to cry on.  I want them to express their emotions.

  1. deanna Said,

    I am SO, SO, SO glad you are back posting again.

    Oh, and I have a funny to tell you about your sweet little girl. Last night we were talking about teachers (the missionaries we are studying this month are teachers) and I asked the girls what their favorite subject was and what their least favorite subject was. Abbey said her least favorite was the Library. When I asked why, Lou popped up and said ‘probably because she has to keep quiet!’ - and Abbey agreed! It was so funny! We always have the best time in GA’s.

  2. Lou Said,

    Yes, our sweet Abbey loves to talk, and that is okay, cause she gets it honest from a long, long line of talkers.

    I am going to pick and choose which ones I answer from the about list mostly because of time and I am at work. And before I forget….glad you are posting again…now if we could just get Em back in the swing.

    2. Got lunch at Captian D’s….not the fastest but the window folks are usually pretty nice about it.
    4. Probably Texas….not sure why other than they tend to sound like us.
    5. NO A THING!
    6. Big Ed is pretty looney.

    The rest just require much deeper thought than I can give right now.
