100. Posting this as 100 truths? In my blog

I borrowed this idea from a fellow blog.

The view from where I sit: The baby is laying on the couch looking at the throw pillow and passing gas. Yup, life with a baby. She is 3 months now, and so beautiful, she has brought so much love and joy into our house. Leaning against the wall is my new, bright red Kenmore vacuum reminding me I have some cleaning to do, I'll just glance the other way for now.

Outside my window are dark grey clouds and branches swaying in the wind. Our city is SO windy it really makes summertime unpleasant. People are getting home from work now, I wish my husband were home already he's always later then he says he will be...


I am thinking about how I wish the baby would stop fussing and go to sleep already. I should get supper underway, I shouldn't have had a few nacho chips as I am trying to eat better. I am thinking about the fact that I probably won't get this post done until tonight when the house is quiet.

I am thankful for my health, family, provision and second chances.

We are learning about how we ALL must contribute to make the house run. The boys are learning to unload the dishwasher, freshen up the bathroom, take care of a little sister and to do it with a happy heart. I am still learning that one some days.

I am creating a flower garden. We have been landscaping our yard, still a long way to go, but the journey has been fun.

I am reading nothing at the moment, but I would like to start a chapter book with the kids again this summer. Last summer we read Charlotte's Web and The Wizard of Oz, we had a great time so we will be heading to the library soon.

I am hoping we can figure out where we want to live and how to make it happen.

I am hearing SILENCE!!! SSSsshhhhh the baby FINALLY settled herself down!

Around the house, that is a whole other story. I really want to be that woman who has her house organized and tidy. HELP ME GET THERE!!!!

One of my favorite things is Tim Horton's Iced Cappuccino's. I would have one, or more, daily if they weren't like 1000 calories each...

A few plans for the rest of the week are boating and a BBQ on Saturday, cleaning the house, cutting the grass, making it to the gym.... same old, same old.

A picture I am sharing:

My 3 month old daughter and I... I love her so much!

Copy Cat, again.

I admit I am low on brain power at the moment due to lack of sleep so I happened upon this post by a lovely fellow blogger Cocotte. I enjoy these little ditty's so here is my attempt at it.

1) Did you date someone from your high school?
Aside from many crushes, and WANTING to date certain guys from my high school, I only dated one. His name was Mike and he was in grade 11 when I was in grade 9. He had somewhat of a reputation as a player but I think I was just so flattered that he was interested in me, a lowly 9th grader, that I ignored the rumours. Needless to say he succumbed to temptation and kissed another girl while I was a youth group on Friday night. We were doomed from the start LOL

2)Did you marry someone from your high school?
No.

3) Did you carpool to school?
I did for a while with my friend who lived one house down, I even paid for gas, but I got the hint she didn't want to do it anymore when she wouldn't answer the phone in the morning to arrange our ride and then I'd see her drive right past me pretending not to see me.

4) What kind of car did you have?
I never owned a car in high school, but my first car was a 1980 something two tone brown Topaz. This car was horrid and I was embarrassed to be seen in it.

5) What kind of car do you have now?
I have a 1996 charcoal Ford Freestar. I am thinking of going to a SUV, but once you have a van I think it's hard to really consider anything else, especially with kids. My husband always says a van is like a living room on wheels. You have so much more room.

6)It's Friday night, where were you then?
I could be found at our church youth group. I went for years and loved every minute of it.

7) It's Friday night, where are you now?
Friday night is Shabbat so we are together as a family, having a nice meal and then usually a movie/treat party night with the kids. They get into their pj's, blankets and stuffed animals are strewn all over the living room and we have trays of treats and fruit that we allow the kids to eat in the living room. It's a lot of fun.

8) What kind of job did you have in high school?
I worked in the market gardens in our town, and a grocery store while in high school.

9) What kind of job do you have now?
I think this pretty much sums it up....


10) Were you a party animal?
I never hung with the party animals at high school, but I had a great group of friends from our youth group. We had get togethers every weekend. Bonfires, eating out, movies, going out to our friends cabin for the weekend. Good, clean fun.

11)Were you considered a flirt?
Sadly yes. I loved to flirt, and so did all my girlfriends. When my now husband expressed interest in me he was warned about me...of course once we starters dating I stopped all flirting. :O)

12) Were you in band?
Oh yeah! The main reason I joined was because it was an easy credit and all the band trips. I played clarinet.

13)When did you graduate?
1993

14)Do you still talk to friends from high school?
I Have been able to re-connect with some over facebook, but most I don't talk to anymore. Kind of sad because I have fond memories of these friends.
