RIGHT NOW tag...

This one is fun because it is spontaneous, not rehearsed, and real! I love real! So here goes, a splice of my life right now! Take a picture (NO cleaning up first!) of 1-laundry room, 2-kitchen sink, 3-open fridge, 4-a toilet, 5-favorite place in the house, 6-your bedroom, 7-what your kids are doing right now, 8-your closet, 9-favorite shoes, 10-self portrait (always my favorite, JK!)

my laundry room, luckily I have spent many hours "catching up" so the baskets are actually empty...they're usually overflowing!



kitchen sink, we have been gone since 7am this morning so this worked to my advantage!

fridge...clearly I need to go shopping :) Where's my Diet Pepsi??!! Wah, Sally needs her "yam yam"!

this is in our master bathroom and yes, the seat is always up!!!!! (Zack just said, "Why is there a picture of a toilet on your blog?!"

my favorite place and my bedroom, go together because 1) I love to sleep and 2) I can lock myself in for a quiet moment! (Thanks for making the bed Tommy!)

what the kids are doing right now...building forts in my craft room, which they are NOT supposed to be in! But since I am on the computer what can be done?? :)

also in my supposed craft room is Zack's new-hand-me-down bed. He has to keep his room clean for a week before we'll set it up!

Tom's side of the closet...

my side of the closet...and still I have NOTHING to wear! :)

my favorite shoes, British flag of course! All my sisters have them!

self portrait, and sadly I have not showered today, I'll admit it! Hey, I had to get all the kids out of the house before 7am....


There you have it, I have no shame! So if you read my blog you are tagged! And I will be checking! :) Gotta love google reader! If you don't have google reader and you like to look at lots of blogs then you absolutely have to have this! Look it up!

A fun game!

(Thanks Heather for the idea!)

Memory Lane

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

So let's have it! Don't be shy! What do you remember? Anything funny, embarrassing, silly...
