6 interesting things about yourself!
(gosh this is hard)
1. I love Christmas shopping! Some of you might think that I am crazy but, I love to go to the early morning sales the day after Thanksgiving. Last year I even got Chris to go with me.
2. I have a vacuum fetish. I love to open the canister and see how much I collected (kind of grouse I know), I even have my girls doing it now.
3. I iron just about everything when I do laundry.
4. I work two different jobs right now. At the hospital, and for a home health company out of Salt Lake.
5. I have double first cousins. My mom and her sister married brothers. I used to think it was really cool growing up. I didn't know anyone else that had double cousins.
6. I grew up in the same house that I'm living in now. I few years ago we sold our house in Centerfield. The people that said that they would sale us their house changed their minds. So one night my Mom said that we could by their house. We took her up on her offer, to her surprise. We love it in Aurora now. I feel so grateful that my kids get to grow up next door to their Grandma and Grandpa great.

5 things I was doing 10 years ago:
1. Senior in high school
2. Planning on getting married
3. Working at the dentist office
4. Hanging out with friends
5. Trying to decide what I was going to do with the rest of my life.

5 things on today's to-do list:
1. Well I'm at work right now and it about 0315 A.M. So I'm hoping and praying that Max will take a good nap sometime today so that I can at least get an hour or two of sleep.
2. Go to the grocery store.
3. Set up my Grandma and Grandpa's meds for the week.
4. Do homework with the kids, help them complete their chores, home health paperwork, pay a couple of bills, clean the house all before 4:30
5. Be back to work again by 5:00

5 treats I enjoy:
1. Diet coke
2. Chocolate
3. Popcorn (Chris can't believe that I will still eat it. When I was pregnant with Max I vomited every time I ate it. After I would vomit I would tell him I was never going to be able to eat popcorn again. A few days would pass and I would eat it again.)
4. Diet coke
5. Diet coke

5 things I would do if I was a millionaire:
1. Build a new house
2. Pay off my journey
3. Buy a new boat
4. Go on lots and lots of vacations
5. Work once a month

5 places I have lived:
1. Aurora
2. Salina
3. Centerfield
4. Salina
5. Aurora,

3. Richfield Care and Rehabilitation Center (longest 6 months of my life).
4. Gunnison Valley Hospital
5. Accredo Therapeutics

6 Quirks:
1. I like to fold the clothes when I do laundry. If Chris or the girls help me I secretly unfold what they have folded and redo it. Silly I know, I just can't help it.
2. I usually don't like it when someone else does Kodi and Jacey's hair. Kodi it starting to do her hair herself, I might need to get on some type of anti-anxiety medication before to long.
3. I always feel better when I have a clean house. But, I enjoy it when it's clean "my way". When Chris or the girl's wipe off the counter, I always do it again behind them. I like vacuum lines a certain way in the carpet. Ya know the usual stuff.
4. I don't like to eat any type of meat that is on a bone.
5. At work, or when I'm paying bills I can't hardly function if I don't have certain kind of pen. Its not really the pen its the gel ink that I like.
6. When I was still in school, I got really obsessed about note taking. I would write down notes during class. I would re-write the notes again after class, and then I would write them again sometime during the week before I had that class again. If I was to have an error on the page, I would start over again on that page. The positive things was that I pretty much would have my notes memorized.

Now I'm tagging - Janell, Mayra, Shayla, Nona, Kelly, Cheryl, Maghan, and any other hospital girls I forgot!

Kodi Can See Again!!

Kodi Jo lost her glasses a couple of months ago. We had looked high and low for those dang glasses. I called the school, and even went over to look at the ones they had in the lost and found. It seemed liked we had looked everywhere, and asked everyone we could think to ask.

She would beg me every night not to tell her Dad that she had lost them. Well Chris realized that they were missing a few weeks ago, and was not very happy with her at all (they were not cheap). He had told her that all she would be getting for Christmas was a new pair of glasses. Well needless to say Kodi has been very upset about her glasses (or not having a Christmas).


I had to pick the kids up on Saturday at Chris' Mom and Dads after work. When I walked in Kodi Jumped up out of the corner and yelled surprise. She had the biggest smile, but that was not all that was on her face. She had found her glasses!! I guess she had left them at her Grandma Mckinlay's. Jane had put them behind something on the counter and completely forgot about them being there.

On the way back home she wouldn't quite talking about how happy she was to have found her glasses. Then Jacey said "Now Kodi are you going to start taking better care of them? Because I don't want to have to look for them again!" Needless to say Kodi's smile disappeared and the fighting between the girls started up for the night.

Yeah Kodi gets a Christmas now!! When I got home from work on Sunday the girls had each wrote letters to Santa. Gee thanks Mom for bringing up that JC Penny Christmas wish book !!
