4 things Tag...
Judy tagged me along time ago. I am terrible at blogging even though I love to see when others blog. I'm never sure if I just share WAY too much or what I say is going to sound terrible and dumb. I don't like putting myself out there, but do way too often.
So, here's my tag of 4 things.

4 shows I like to watch:
* SURVIVOR, I am a nut. I love this show. one of the few arguments Bill and I have ever had aside from how many kids we should have is when he said I just couldn't make it on Survivor. I really couldn't now, my health isn't good enough, but when he said that I so could have!!! I even filled out the application, but never sent it in. My boys would have loved it. My family I grew up in would have hated it because I sure I would have embarrassed them to the hilt. I'm sure I'm embarrassing them just admitting that I would have done Survivor.
* American Idol, I casually watch this. It is usually on when Bill has bishopric meetings and the kids have scouts and young men's. So I get my pictures out and work on scrap-booking or read a book while it is on.
* Some soaps, but I am very casual about this. I make myself nervous being the only one home and so I usually have the TV on for noise and I rarely even notice it is on, but it is amazing no matter how long it has been since I see one it is like I never missed anything. Makes you realize what utter trash it is. I probably wouldn't even say that I watch them.
* News stations That's not a show either and I'm not sure it counts. Especially lately. I can't stand how it is no matter what station it is. There is constant corruption and bickering that I don't even know why I watch because it usually upsets me. I want to be able to know what is going on and keep challenging my mind, but it has gotten so I would just rather not even have it on.

4 things I'm passionate about:

* My husband
* My kids
* Scrap-booking and crafts
* Organizing, which sounds good, but is not. I'm not organized and keep thinking I need to do one more thing and so this is a huge detriment. It really should be thrown out, because it makes me feel like such a failure. It's still there though.

4 phrases I say a lot:

* Holy moly
* Good garbage
* Curses
* get your can in the van or get your can outta the van

4 things I have learned from the past:

* Just enjoy and try not to make everything perfect. You will miss your life if you are always trying to make everything just right to be able to do things.
* Enjoy the kids, even if the house is a mess or you have something more important. They are little for such a short time and you can't get that time back. Kind-of like the first one, huh?
* It is better to say sorry, then I told you so. Even if you were right.
* All you need is love. Corny but true. Love of your famiy, friends, God, church members, country.

4 places I would like to go:

* Church history tour
* England
* California trip with the kids
* Statue of Liberty, Washington monument, Lincoln Memorial.

4 things I did yesterday (This is going to sound a lot different then everyday since it was Mothers day):

* Got to eat a yummy breakfast that I didn't make
* Got to drive with Bill to church
* Got to eat a yummy dinner and desert that I didn't make
* Spent time with some of my best friends preparing Mothers day for all the ladies in the ward.


4 things I'm looking forward to:


* A finished house
* A room for all the paperwork, scrap-book stuff and sewing
* Getting away for our anniversary, we celebrated our 20th a few years ago and haven't been able to get away for about 3 years. Hopefully this year!!
* Getting caught up on scrap-booking


4 things on my wish list: (I really already answered this on what I look forward too, so this will be a big wish)

* To get out of debt
* To be more healthy and loose weight
* To not be behind, it seems like I rush everything and have to do things last minute because I'm not prepared)
* Kitchen cupboards and more counter space.

4 people I tag:

(I'm not sure how to tag, or even how to do it. I wont tag Judy because I got this from her. I don't really know that many who even do a blog.)

* Andrea
* Jeanna
* Carolee
* Diana

What's for dinner . . .

Moms worst question EVER . . . what's for dinner. I hate that question. The worst time to be asked that question, while we are eating lunch. For cripes sake we aren't even done with one meal. Anyway last night for FHE (Family Home Evening) I asked everyone to come prepared with 10 meals that don't have to be their favorite, but just meals that they would complain about. They all took me seriously, I've given assignments before only to be blown off, but this they did. We had a great time going around the table and talking about things and memories we had of different meal and it actually turned out pretty good.

Ammon of course had to put down funny (and disgusting things like haggis . . . which he has never had and I'm sure there would be complaining that night). Plus he had much more then 20.

Taft is my pickiest and so he had a hard time finishing his list but few things surprised me. Mostly eggs with sausage, eggs with bacon, eggs with ham . . . he does like eggs.

BJ didn't have a problem, but none of his were easy meals.

Carson had a hard time and every time someone mentioned something he wanted it added to his list, including haggis. I should make that just to show them, huh?

Heber wouldn't let anyone help him and had to write his list out. I thought it was funny so here it is along with interpretations . . .

1. Pot sticker's!!! (he wanted to make sure I added the explanation points)
2. spinich with breead or noodlis (spinach artichoke dip & chicken ravioli with spinach)
3. Ravelee (Ravioli)
4. hot wings (Chicken tenders with Wingers sauce)
5. nochoos (Nachos)
6. spoogety (Spaghetti)
7. spoogety tocos (Spaghetti tacos - - whatever they might me, who knows)
8. toco salid with doreetos (Taco salad with Doritos)
9. doreetos (He must like Doritos)
10. sheepperd pie (that was close)
11. hot wings (He must like what he likes)
12. kafaereeeo (This one took me a minute . . . Cafe Rio)

Bill's list was in the form of an email. He started keeping track, mostly because of the complaining especially from Taft that we had spaghetti madness every other night. I know it was to help, but every once in a while when that is the most hated question, I hate to hear we have had that 3.5 times in last month. He actually doesn't say that.

My goal is to have a menu a month in advance, we will see. I'm not making that menu public, they can still wait to see when it hits the table. I can only take so much complaining, I'm not going to hear about it a month in advance.

I don't do too bad when I know in advance what I'm going to make, then if I change my mind last minute it is a conscious decision not a thrown together mad house.
