6 Random Things

The Rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you (Vivian tagged me).

2. Post the rules on your blog (this is what you are now reading).

3. Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).

4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.

5. Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Here we go with the random things:

1. I am legally blind in my left eye. I have been since I was 10. Its never been a big deal. The only time it was ever even an issue is when I was 16 and taking drivers ed. I fell under the "handicap" clause and my drivers ed training was paid for by the state. Weird! Sees to me that the state wouldn't want to encourage seeing impaired people to drive, but what do I know?

2. I've had 5 cars since I turned 16. My dad gave me my first car, it was a hand me down. Then my parents bought me a Dodge Shadow (drove through all of college). After I got married, Steve bought me my long dreamed of 4Runner. When I started having kids I moved on to a MiniVan. Now that I have 4 kids I drive a true mom car, my suburban. I can't imagine driving anything else right now.

3. I wish I could have had these digital gadgets whe nI was in college that I have now, especially my digi cam. I have forgotten so much from those days. I wish I would have documented it better. I think thats one of the main reasons I scrapbook so much now!

4. I'm excited for Christmas! I know we will be scaling back this year though (who isn't). Looking at my house shows me that we do not NEED anything!

5. My kids LOVE cleaning the toilet. I take advantage of them, and put them to work. I know someday they will see that cleaning toilets isn't FUN! For now, I enjoy their zeal.

6. I love my husband! He is wonderful, a hard worker, loves his family, and is funny. Sure he has stuff he needs to work on, but who doesn't. I'm glad he is the leader of our family.

Now, I know I'm supposed to tag 6 people, but I won't. If you read this and want to play along, great! Message me and tell me you did.

Thanks girls for the tags. I liked taking time to think and write.
