I have been tagged by Sue to write 6 random facts about myself so here goes:
(1)As many of you know I had a B-day this past week. I guess while mom was in the house giving birth to me the sows got out and dad had to leave her and put them in. For as long as I can remember Dad would call me early on my B-day and say"Did you know that__years ago today the sows got out. I really miss that phone call but I can still hear him say it.
(2)When I was "young" in school our class went on a field trip to the Whirlpool Plant at Evansville. President Nixon flew in to the airport and we got to go see him. My picture was on the front page of the Evansville paper with him.
(3) I have an addiction to Starbucks iced Vanilla coffee. It is on my grocery list every week. Amy says if I was ever stranded on a deserted island I would die if I didn't have them.
(4) I have always wanted to write a book about all my life's twists and turns and my goal is to someday do just that.
(5) I, like my sis love reality TV. My favorite shows are Survivor, Amazing Race, Bachelorette and Bachelor, Biggest Loser and Nashville Star.While the guys are gone for 12 days I can watch all I want of it without "comments" from a certain sweety of mine.
(6) If God had given me the talent my dream would be to be a professional Contemporary Christian Singer. But since I can't carry a tune in a 5 gallon bucket I just pop a CD in my truck, crank it up and go down the road singing along with Steven Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns and 33 Mile pretending that I can sing.Hey, whatever it takes.
So there are my 6 random facts. Since you all have tagged about every blogger I know I won't be tagging anyone.

Tristin's Diego cake

We had Tristin's party Monday night and he had requested that I get him a Diego ice cream cake. He got another "blue slip" at school this week which isn't a good thing. This time his reason was and I quote "I told the teacher that I had to pee and she wouldn't listen so I pee'd behind the tree and you aren't supposed to". I told Bob he is starting to reap what he sowed as a youngster. He was quite the ornary little fellor and I remember when he pee'd in his cousin's (from Ohio)face ON PURPOSE! He had a group of ornary cousins all about the same age. I won't mention any names. I remember a day at mom and dad's when mom asked them to gather the eggs for her and they came back with just a couple. She thought that was strange as she normally had quite a few. Their excuse was that all the rest of the eggs had fallen out of the nest and broke. Upon investigation the eggs were broke but they were up high on the chicken house walls. Wonder how that happened?

5 days

I agree with Tera that we all just seem too busy. Well hopefully in 5 days I can relax a little. That's when all the guys leave for their annual trip to the Colorado Mountains elk hunting. Amy and I just about have everything ready for them to load up. They plan to load our trailer Sunday evening and leave sometime before daylight on Tuesday. It is a 25 hour drive but they plan to break it up this year and stop and get a few hours sleep on the way. We have been working like a group of crazy people trying to get a bunch of small jobs done before they leave. Yesterday I was running from job to job and my truck was like a mobile office. I had my front seat full of file folders and was constantly on the phone(while driving) scheduling services changes with the power company or running after supplies. On one run I stopped at WalMArt (at my hubby's request) to get him a box of shells for his gun. He called as I was leaving and said to please get out of WalMart and bring some more material to the job site .WELL I would have already left but his stupid shells kept setting off the alarm(that makes you feel like a thief). The clerk kept trying to scan them to stop the security buzzer but wasn't getting anywhere. Now you tell me-she knew what the problem was so why not just let me go? I think she had a problem passing 2nd grade or maybe I was just stressed. We had to all step back and chill out by the end of the day. Today wasn't much better as we all ran again. The guys were on like 4 different jobs and I had to go to the engineers office and then had a meeting with the city manager. I was home long enough to feed my deer and then was off to a Conservation Club meeting. I am the secretary. I hope tomorrow to finish packing Jay's hunting clothes and equipment and can some beef and noodles for them to take. I need to plant my mums which have sitting under the tree staring at me for a week as I run by them and jump in the truck. Thank goodness the good Lord watered them for me today with a nice shower. He knew I didn't have time or I should say -I didn't take time.Love to all.
