OK, so, part of receiving the award is to also list 7 random facts about myself and then I must pass on the award to some blogging friends!
Here is my random list:
1. I have changed my career ideas only a million times.... from a teacher, to a lawyer, to a nurse, to a politician, to an u/s technician....thankfully the only things that never changed were to be a wife and a mother! And I've achieved those! One of these days I'll figure the career part out!
2. I use to never leave the house without makeup. It was BIG DEAL. Growing up, I always had MAKEUP on and jewelry on! ALL THE TIME. Around the time that I became pregnant with Buggy, I slowly began to "not care". I probably look like a typical "mom" nowadays, but sometimes I just forget or don't have time! Oh well.... if you see me now, with the 3 kids in tow, what you see is what you get, this is LIFE and its bitten my bee-hind!
3. The hardest part about homeschooling ISN'T the schooling. For me, its been the change in pace (much slower) and breaking into the "homeschooling" world. Different friends, groups, activities, etc. I feel like I'm starting this Mommy journey all over again.
4. I don't enjoy being outside. I never really have. Its hard for me to "push" my kids outdoors, because I'd rather stay inside. Fall is the only time I am eager to get outdoors!
5. When I was a teenager/young adult, I use to pray that I wouldn't have a daughter! Funny prayer, I know, but my Mom and I weren't best friends while I was a pre-teen and teen and I really didn't want a "bad relationship" with my daughter. Once I turned 17 or 18, my Mom and I were able to connect and have a friendship.
6. I LOVE to decorate! I mostly copycat things I see in magazines, books or on blogs. Of course, it doesn't always turn out the way I want because I have limited funds.
7. Baby no 3 has made me lazy! I use to NEVER just SIT.... now, I can't get motivated about anything extra! HAHA! Like cooking and baking or sewing! If I have free time away from the kids, I just want to veg out! Not good!
Well, there it is....most of those things, friends and family probably already know, but oh well. This was hard!
Now I have to give the award away. I don't really following and read as many blogs as I once did, so I'll tag the gals who write the blogs that I actually DO keep up with!

I am SO right there with you on number 7! I had so many things I could have been doing today at naptime, and all I did was veg.
A couple of things I'm concerned about as we look at homeschooling next year are the change of pace (we've been "goers" since Little was little) and scheduling (I'm not real great at living within time constraints :-).
I'll try to get this on the blog sometime this week, but I haven't exactly had a stellar blogging record of late. :-)
I enjoyed reading your random facts! Thanks for tagging me! I'm so behind on blogging and all things pertaining to the computer, but I'll try to do this soon. :)
You are so sweet, thank you for the lovely compliment!! I'm with you on the outside thing, I can't stand being outside, I have to force myself to go out, glad to know I'm not the only one :o)
