Brookes Thanksgiving Feast
We went to Brookes class feast yesterday. It worked out that I got there on time with the younger kids and Swedish meatballs and Mark came when he got out of school. He came at the perfect time. Right when he walked in Becca had a melt down so I took the kids home and Mark stayed. Brooke was supper excited to have Mark there. Between school and a random work schedule, he usually misses out on the fun. I did get to see the little production the class put on. They did a great job singing the songs. Its fun to see the class have fun together. (video was too long to put up...maybe one day I'll learn how to edit them) :)

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINT:& amp; nbsp; Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care'. You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality, a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once, so meone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They als o see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively
or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well, know that you aren't.

I've been Tagged...
1. About a week before I met Mark, a Chiropractor that worked in my building offered me a job. She was Cher's personal Chiropractor and was going on tour with her. She wanted me to go along to be her Assistant Massage Therapist. I was seriously considering it until Mark came into the picture. Needless to say, I have never regretted my decision.
2. I am honestly tone deaf. I only know when I'm hitting the right note by remembering how it feels in my throat.
3. When I get really nervous/scared or something horrible happens, my bodies defense mechanism is to laugh. I've gotten some pretty dirty looks over this..its not very convenient, but there's nothing I can do to stop it once it starts.
4. I have always dreamed (and still do) of having complete and utter control over every muscle in my body. Like Jackie Chan. I guess total control over mind and body is what I've always wanted (especially when #3 happens). I've also wanted to be like Jason Bourne in the Bourne Series. To be able to have the knowledge you need when you need it. Not that I'd ever need any of that, but I just want to know I could do it.
5. I'm a dead shot with my 38 Special revolver and can't wait for the kids to be older so Mark and I can enter competitions.
6. I have some strange compulsion with moving furniture around. I get antsy every couple of months and have to switch things up. I can't figure out if this is just habit because my sister and I shared a room and were always changing it, or if its truly a compulsion...either way, its fun watching Mark and the kids faces when they come home and had no idea I was moving things again lol.
7. I am a renewed fan of the saying: (Thanks Lisa M. for reminding me about it!)
Fix it up,
Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or do without.
Its something I've always heard, but until I had kids and no $$, I never applied it. Now I use a spatula to get the last of the peanut butter, sew decorative fabric on the legs of the kids pants to make them longer, secretly add water to the milk when we need an extra cup or two, and introduced "clean trash art" to the kids when my craft supplies were running low.
Now I'm gonna tag Karina, Jennifer Davey, and my Mom (if she ever gets on her blog again ;) )

Mom: "No, we are going to go VOTE, with a V, not Boat with a B."
Becca (while Shay is running around looking for her boots): "I wanna go toooo. I love the boat! The boat goes FASSSS!"
Shayna: "Is Tori an Brett an Brenna an Karlee an Jared going to?"
Mom: "We are not going to the BOAT! We are going to go VVVote. Come on, you'll see."
20mins. later....
Mom: "This is where we are going to vote for President."
Becca: "But I don't see Sugar (my parents dog), or Nanapapa (they have the boat) " :(
Sigh, its going to be a long day.
