Challenge day 2. I have a tat of Obama.



Ok so today I'm supposed to put nine loves. Here I go.

Number one:  I love Chris and the kids. I never thought I would fall in love again after my first love, but destiny had something else in store for me :) I got a husband and a house full of kids in one swoop.

Number two:  I love my family. Especially now that I'm grown up I can appreciate having a big family and brothers and sisters.

Number three: Right now I would love A BEER! omg. The kids are driving me nuts! Go to sleeeeeep!

Number four: I love spring amd summer. I hate being cold. Hate bland weather and no leaves on the trees. I could skip winter every year.

Number five: I'm in love with dirty romance novels :) Bertrice Small is my fave dirty novel author. Reading one of her tasteful books right now actually. Well not right this second bc I'm typing. Duh.

Number  six: I love my hair. It can go curly or straight. I'm versatile.

Number seven: I love the fact that I'm cheap. I hate paying full price for anything! Clearance racks. Thrift stores. Out of date items. Ebay. Amazon. Consignment shops. Yardsales. Coupons. You get the point by now. I'm the crazy lady who digs through the clearance bin of underwear for an hour just to find my size. lol.

Number eight: I love tattoos :) On men. SEXY! (wish Chris would get a few!) and I love them myself. Planning on getting another one soon. My first color one. Hoping to cover up my first tattoo, you know, the one of Obama winking. lol.

Number nine: I love my life right now. Couldn't be happier when it comes down to it. Yes, I have my bad days. BUT! I feel soo blessed :) To be able to make a difference in the lives of my favorite kids is the greatest gift ever. No words can describe how much I love my family and how much pride I have :) People think I'm crazy or they think I'm a saint for doing what I do. I'm just a woman who loves kids. I always have. Heck, if Chris left it up to me we would have two of our own. lol. He says one child and a dog. lol.

Ok, so besides the "Challenge" thing I had to fill you in on some other happenings.

First of all I made home made laundry detergent! Super proud of myself! And it actually works really well. I marked todays date on the calendar and I'm going to see how long it lasts. It said that for a large family it can last up to six months! We shall see!

Second, yesterday Joey came home from school and wanted a snack (which is typical. they always come home from school famished) I can't remember what he asked me for but I remember I said "Hmmm..." in response to his question and he said, "Hmmm. Spell it. H-M-M-M." I found it hilarious just bc Joey is always spelling things. He can spell almost any animal you can think of, and here lately when we say things or he hears things he will ask us how to spell it.

Also, later he walked in the kitchen with his arm inside his shirt and the one sleeve swinging and he just fell in the floor right in front of the dish washer. lol. He was re-enacting "Plants vs. Zombies" hahaha...

Thank God, I think they may be.... CRAP! Ethans calling me. Mary was in his room and he told on her I heard her scamper back to her room. Skunks.

... and Chris is playing with lego's.
