Aniston wasn't quite sure why we had dressed her up so she couldn't move and then stuck her in a tube and made her ride around. She would smile and then cry. She kind of had a confused look on her face. After one time down the hill there was no more smiling, just crying. The other kids had a blast and Bart and I took turns sitting in the truck while Aniston slept. That was an expensive nap!
We had so much fun going to the Polar Express this year. We left Aniston with a babysitter so it was nice just to spend some time with the big kids. We ate cookies and drank hot chocolate but the highlight was when Santa came and passed out bells to all of the kids. Weston had all of the elfs crowding around him while he entertained them with his stories. I think they thought he was one of them.
#4 I love food and I love a lot of it. I can eat as much as Bart and sometimes more than Bart. I plan all of my activities around food. I start thinking about my menu for the day at about ten in the morning. Bart says food is my hobby. At first I was offended now I just embrace my favorite hobby. I love all kinds of food but lately my obsession is sushi. This is difficult because Bart hates any kind of fish. I am not very picky and will eat out almost anywhere. I hate home cooked food. On the rare occasion that I cook at home I do not eat it. Home made food is not for me. I do not love breakfast food but if I do eat it I prefer it after noon. I am perplexed by fruit, meat, vegetables and mayo together. I like all my food groups all separate. I HATE any fruit mixed with any meat or any vegetable. I think that sweet and salty should not be mixed. .........and I wonder why I can't lose weight, I need a new hobby!
#3 I love to be pregnant! Crazy I know. I would be pregnant all the time because that means I would have a newborn all the time. The only problem with that is the newborns turn one and then two................... I don't really like one or two year olds that much. I had a friend tell me that she is trying to get pregnant and I had a twinge of jealously last night. I have always been jealous if someone is pregnant and I am not, but now that I will never be pregnant again I get really sad. I love having a big belly (not so much the big butt that comes with it!) I love feeling the baby inside. I enjoy the hospital part so much, I don't even mind the delivery because the medical part facinates me. It is such a happy and peaceful time. I am sad that I will not ever have that again. So all of you that are just getting started with your families will have to share your new babies with me! Enjoy this time because before you know it, it will be gone. You will have nine year olds that don't listen to you, and seven year olds that talk back to you, and five year olds that torment your one year old that screams all day long! The motto is "I love my babies!"
Sorry Raquel it is taking me forever! Okay here is number 2.
I love things on sale and I love coupons. I found a pair of jeans that I really wanted but they were like $90. That is just WAY too much. I just did not want to spend that on jeans. Two days later I went to a boutique and everything was 20% off. I found these jeans that were $120 but with %20 off that made it just fine. It just makes it feel better that they were on sale. I love to use coupons. I won't even need anything but I will buy it just because I can use a coupon and it makes me feel like I am getting a good deal. I have a lot of my mom in me. I will use a coupon for anything!
I can only do this one at a time. First because it takes me a while to think about it and second I am trying to get my Christmas done before the 24th this year and I can spend 5 hours a day on the computer if I am not careful.
Okay here goes the first of seven things about me...........
1. I am very picky about my Diet Coke. I do not like it in a can, I do not like it unless it has tons of ice, and I have my favorite gas stations that I like the best. I love crushed ice. But in an emergency I will go anywhere. I do not like to drink alone. I am always trying to talk Becky into liking it.
So far no luck....... I want whoever I am with to have one also. My two favorite places for Diet Coke are Taco amigo and the drive through gas station in AF by Albertsons. They both have crushed ice and limes. I love the thought of "going to get a Coke," as much as I like drinking a Coke. Diet Coke makes my life happier!
We had so much fun hanging out with all of our family in St. George. I am so grateful for my extended family. My children really enjoy being with all of my Aunt's and Uncle's and my cousins. I am so blessed to have such a close family. We had a fun sport filled Thanksgiving. We played tennis, football and bowled. Everyone had a blast. I am thankful for everyone of you who play an important part of my life.
