Ok.. So I've been double tagged!

Our ever funloving Katie has started yet another round of the "TAG you're it game.."
& as I said on her blog it beats the heck outta the drivel I've been posting while sick & whatnot!

SO ...the rules are..
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

So 7 random ( & NOT previously revealed) :P facts about me are..


1. I'm left handed .. which means I'm creative..or evil depending on your background

2. I learned how to drive a car on a standard.. which at the time I though was dreadfully unfair of my Dad.. but to this day ..I prefer them especially in bad weather.


3. I used to love playing "mermaid" up at our summer cabin.. suit taken off & slapped on the log.. ahhhh the feel of the water..& to be that unselfconscious again!


4. One of Jamie's nicknames for me is "Angel" which I love dearly but sometimes don't feel worthy of.

5. I've worked 16 yrs now at the same job that I started when I was 21 & right out of nursing school. I never intended to stay this long!

6. much as I try to be "avant garde" or easy going..I have a need for my decorating to balance..right now I have 2 hanging baskets that are driving me nuts because one has turned out to be yellow & red --& the other purple & red.. Yea bizarre

7. I have had all my rabies shots... ~LOL~ yea really -I'm in a medical text book somewhere..I was bit by a rabid bat when I was 10.. it was flopping in the mud ..I thought it was a frog ok?


Ok now quickly & then back to work-I tag..

1. Marijayde
2. Carol
3. Kana
4. Chantal

In the meantime here's a giggle...



Life

On the first day, God created the dog and said:
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes
in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty
years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten
years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God Agreed.



On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
"Entertain people,do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year Life span."


The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty
long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog
did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said:
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun,


The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"


And God agreed again.


On the fourth day, God created man and said:
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten
the Dog gave back as well?

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves.
For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support
our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren.
And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch
and bark at everyone.

So there ya go--Life has now been explained to you.

something has got to be funny..

Cuz dealin with everyone getting sick again with this damn Flu bug sure hasn't been.. I got it Mother's day .. survived to tell the tale-- only to have Steven down with it yesterday- poor wee duck.. he can't seem to shake it for more than a few days at a time ..
& Jamie lying here now seemingly still at "death's door" at the end of the day with it ( but Men are like that aren't they ?) *shhh *

Any who needless to say this has taken it's toll on me doing much in the way of workouts ..But as Scarlet Ohara said.... "After all tomorrow is another day"

Hello from the trenches..

Ok so I'm being melodramatic! ~Lol~

but I just wanted to say a quick HI while I have 2 seconds before I go pack the last of the loot bags ,get the cake & everything else ready for Stevie's b-day party this afternoon..& be ready to pick up the kids at noon when they get out.

Yep more goings on!!

& then the rest of the weekend as I just told Katie (who is doing AWESOME btw~!) on the IM .. will be the usual whirlwind activities eighteen ways to breakfast & yard work if the weather holds!

Eating is Good!.. still writing it ALL down in Fit day .. workouts..welll not as good So uninspired to do weights ..opted to pull weeds instead! I duuno.. it just seemed more "productive" (?)
-Cardio is fine even tried to do a bit of running on the track Tues night while Steven was doing his Lacrosse practice.. which unfortunately I am paying for ..limped all around the ward last night at work :(- Stupid Foot.

& lets see..working out at all yesterday was a total wash when Jess came into my room before 6AM saying "I don't feel good..."& promptly went & threw up in my bathroom!
OH Fun! Thank the Gods she was Ok by the afternoon & seemingly she's all better today.. I just don't have Time for sick critters today thanks! ~lol~

Hope you all are well Hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day ..& generally great weekend!

No really I'm fine..~lol~

seriously tho .. things are fine.. I just am crazy busy right now with stuff with kids , work & projects.. you know the usual! AND - I've been trying to NOT spend so much time on this damn thing either soooo if I haven't been by your blog in a few.. I'm sorry .ON a good note I've been tracking EVERYTHING I put in my mouth on Fitday.. & I'm happy to say that it's really making me think about those "little extras" ..not to mention that it really made me think about our Friday night adventures with Friends.. I had a couple of glasses of wine & then just cruised with water.. instead of getting into making all sorts of "fun" drinks ...Geees we sounds bad don't we ..OK so ummm ignore all the talk about drinks ~lol~
Anywho-after the fun games we were playing on Blends I thought this might be FUN too!

You Mostly Have Your Emotions in Check

Sometimes your emotions get out of control, but you usually are a pretty stable person. You can find a lot to be happy about, as long as things are going your way. But if a few bad things happen to you, you tend to go in a bit of a downward spiral. Luckily, you usually come out of it okay and no worse for the wear.
