A couple other people (Martha's Kitchen, Lancelot Acres, and Homestead in the Making) have this on their blogs, and it looked like fun!
Ten
things you've done today: Made lunches, dropped the
kids off at daycare, stopped at the bank, went to work, called about our
refrigerator warranty replacement, gave my honey
directions to a house for sale(!!!), fed the chickens, walked to the library
with the kids, called my mom, watched a hot air balloon fly
by.
Nine things you have to do
tomorrow: Go to work
again, call a real estate agent, get things ready
for Saturday (a wedding and a parade... unrelated events!), start the crockpot
before I leave for work, relax a bit and recover from the work week,
put away the clean laundry that I'm behind on, read my Bible, weed-weed-weed!,
hug my honey and my kids!
Eight items always in your pantry Do eight boxes of macaroni & cheese count?
Okay, seriously.... flour, sugar, olive oil, yeast, honey, salt, baking
powder, spaghetti
Seven things you need to feel "at
home": My husband, my son, my
daughter, my Bible, a cuddly kitty, a good book, a fire roaring in the fire
place (except not this time of year!)
Six things that sum up your
childhood: Family, trips to Montana, playing outside all the time, horses,
building houses, visiting my grandparents
Five items of clothing you wear again and
again: Oh, I don't know...
Definitely jeans... but I'm trying to wear dresses more often, so there's a red
dress with little white flowers that I really like. I always wear it with a
white sweater (does that count as two?). Oh, and I have a really bright green
striped shirt that I LOVE! But whenever I wear it, I get teased.... Random
people (at work) burst into song (the Blue's Clues theme song) since it
apparently resembles Steve's shirt. I don't see the resemblance, but others
apparently do. Hmmm..... this is hard.....let's see, one more.... I guess a
gray hoodie.
Four places you've lived: Three of them aren't very adventurous
since they're all within about 10 miles of each other.... Everett, WA /
Lynnwood, WA / Snohomish, WA. But I made up for it by living in Costa Rica for
a summer!
Three books you've loved reading
recently: Fascinating Womanhood
by Helen Andelin, A New Song by Jan Karon, Man in Black by Johnny
Cash
Two heart's desires: To be
a full time stay-home/homeschooling mom, To have a closer walk with
God
One thing everyone reading this can pray
about for you: Oh, wow... that this whole buy/sell,
move, quit my job, find honey a new job, stay-home idea might actually work
out. Today is only day 1 of us thinking this might seriously happen. It's so
many things that have to go right though, I know it can only happen if God's
hand is on the situation. But even then, that's so, so many changes.... I'm
really nervous at the thought (but excited
too!)
