What’s on your night table? (we figured this one was borderline, since it involves the bedroom, but if the vibe is right and you preface the question with the background story I told above, you could make it work)  Our alarm clock, hubby’s glasses, and a humidifier

What are the three best things that happened to you in the past seven days? Logan is starting to potty train, we are hiring someone to drywall the bathroom, and I didn’t gain weight.

What was your senior yearbook quote, and what would your yearbook quote be this year if there were such a thing?  I have no idea and honestly did and still don’t care.

That is the definition for my face and the way the skin is acting. Recently I am having more breakouts than I ever remember. It’s driving me nuts that I am on the hunt for the best best acne treatment out there so I can go back to my normal skin again. I’d really like to pretend it’s not happening but the more I ignore it the worse it seems to get. Have you experienced this like me? You’d think being in my thirties I’d be even further from it but that is not at all the case and now I need to get a handle on it.

I don’t know about your town but here in my town there were a lot of houses that went on the market this spring along with a lot of them becoming “apartments for rent“. As I rode my bike around this morning taking Allie to school I noticed that there were less of those houses for sale and for rent recently. I am not sure if that is a good sign or an even worse sign for this area since so many people have had to go into forclosure but I am hoping and praying that this is not the case for those homes. I know I feel like things are getting better and we are settling back in. I truly believe that we could not do this though without His work in our lives!!!

What does it take to get you to grab the mic and sing in a karaoke room?  No one I know araound!!! LOL

What does it take to get you to give up a whole Saturday to hang out with people you don’t like?  Not much really because I try not to judge others and if I am meant to spend time with them then I should give it a try because I might be surprised.

What does it take to get you out of bed without your hitting the snooze button?  Everyday occurence because Maddie would miss the bus if we hit snooze.

What does it take to get you to take someone else’s turn at a really unpleasant task at work or home? The other person not being able to do it???

What does it take to get you to eat something you really dislike?  There isn’t much I won’t eat and recently I’ve found I like foods I use to not like.

When did you last drink something out of a glass bottle?  The only thing I can remember was when I took the sip of wine we served for dinner a while ago.

Whose energy would you like to bottle for those future listless days?  That totally has to be Logan for sure.  His energy is endless.

How many plastic bottles are there in your shower, and what’s in them? I believe there are 8.  There is Joels hair wash and body wash.  I have my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.  Our shared face wash.  Lastly is the kids shampoo and bpody wash.

Who in your life could be described as lightning in a bottle?  This is again Logan because if you uncap that bottle you better watch out for that temper.

You’re playing Spin-the-Bottle with your sixth-grade classmates. When it’s your turn, to whom do you want the bottle pointing?  I have no idea because I never wanted to play that at that age and it’s been way too many years.

That is not a shortened swear word. It’s all about getting my Bachelors in Science and I am going to finally finish it. I decided to look into finishing my degree that I started so many years ago and only walked away with my MRS. degree instead. So I’ve been looking into all kinds of options like going to Baker to do something different, or medical assistant training schools that are online. However I gave Grand Valley a call and found out that all of my credits are good and if I do my last 5 classes I’ll be done. so the most obvious choice for me is to finish what I started and honestly not have to back track and start at square one. I’m not thrilled about actually going back onto a big campus but I just want it to be done and don’t want to wait. So hopefully next fall and winter I’ll take classes and then I’ll be done!!!

In what way this week were you reckless?  Anytime I walk on my two feet I’m reckless because I’m always bound to run into something

In what way this week were you shameless?  Everytime I ate some chocolate  because I did not need it but I still ate it anyway.

In what way this week were you fearless?  Everytime I walk out the door with all three kids by myself because if I had fear I’d never leave.

In what way this week were you thoughtless?  I forgot to get my brother’s birthday card ready for him and he is coming over tomorrow for a party for Logan and it still won’t be ready.

In what way this week were you doubtless?  I never doubt my faith… that is an every week thing!

Well I was looking the other day for an outfit for Logan for his birthday pictures and I pretty much came up empty handed and decided to go with an outfit he already had at home. Just simple and easy which is alot like him because he always messes up nice stuff. Well the funny part about it all was while I was at a store in the mall I saw the cutest little man tuxedo. Now granted I can not understand why someone would ever by their two year old a tuxedo because it won’t last long but it was really cute. If Logan ever needs one though I think we’ll go the rental path. Much more logical to go that way then to spend that kind of money for no reason.

I’m trying to figure out how all of a sudden I’ve gotten on some new e-mail spam lists.  I no longer even use my main e-mail address when I sign up for things and yet lately my spam folder is always full of new messages.  I tend to skim through them just to be safe nothing ended up in there by mistake.  Well that was not the case but I sure am going to be rich from all of the money people want to send me and apparently I want to move to NY because I am getting ads for moving companies New York. Sorry but I know that I will never move there. It’s not a life I would ever want for myself or my kids. At least the e-mails are not coming to my regualr inbox because I think changing my personal e-mail address would become a priority for sure.
