Busy Momma

If you came to my house…

You would see:
A kinda clean house. I made the kids do a lot of cleaning.

I’d probably feed you:
Grilled chicken, we eat a lot of that. Green salad, maybe some potatoes.

And offer you this to drink:
Diet pepsi, coors light, raspberry lemonade crystal light.

I’d undoubtedly ask if you’d read:
nothing, I don’t generally ask if people read

I’d want to play this music for you:
Well this would depend on if we were drinking or not. lol Probably just the rock station would be on. But if we start getting crazy then the Buckcherry albums will be put on.

I’d want to tell you about:
my puppies that you are probably already in love with. lol

I’d probably suggest a game of:
no games, possibly some texas hold em and if the kids are up Uno

I would definitely show off:
my scrapbooks

I might get on the computer and show you:
nothing, I’m told to stay off the computer when we have company. lol I get made fun of cause I’m always on it.

If it was a long enough visit, we might watch:
talledega nights

What would a visit to your house be like?

I am not sure if I can come up with 7 anymore. They may be nit-picky one’s. lol Lauren tagged me for this meme and I think I may have done it a couple of times before.

But here are my things you don’t know about me.

1. I’m a caffeine addict. Hmm, did you notice that? Well you could have noticed it, but I’m also not picky about where the caffeine comes from. Diet rockstars are my favorite, but I’ll drink most energy drinks. I love coffee. Drip or espresso it doesn’t matter. I was in the coffee industry for about 13 years before becoming a personal trainer, so all coffee is good.

2. I hate trampoline’s. Yes, I am paranoid about them, but with good reason. We had a friend get a serious injury while jumping on one. Then another friends younger brother almost died because he landed on his head. It broke his neck and he had to wear the big halo for a super long time. Yeah, I have reason to hate trampoline’s. They are unsafe and I don’t understand why you would want your kids on them.

3. I’m afraid of heights. Again, not sure if this has come up. Ever since having the kids, my equalibrium has been out of whack. I’ve always had a thing about heights, but it only gets worse over the years. I fight it hard by going on tall rides at the fair and snowboarding. lol

4. I don’t mind doing windows. I know you always hear people joke that they don’t do windows, but I’d prefer them to laundry any day. At least when I do windows I can stand back and enjoy the clean view for a little while. Other things around the house get dirty the minute you turn your back.

5. I only did yardwork once this whole season. Part of the flowerbed never did get weeded this year. It was really tall with weeds until we had the wind and rain storms. Now it is laying down much nicer. I HATE WEEDING! I can think of many other things I’d rather be doing than weeding!

6. Umm, hmm, this is getting more difficult without repeating things you have already learned about me. I’d live in sandals year around if I could wear them to work. Yes, I’ve worn birkenstocks with socks. lol Up here in the Pacific Northwest we have to wear them whenever we can.

7. Hey, here might be one I haven’t talked about. I’m Native American. I’m a member of the Tsawwassen band in B.C. My family was only let back into the actual books in the 80’s when they redrafted the codes. My Grandma and namesake married a white man (gasp) and was kicked out of the tribe. My family is awesome and we have such a great time when we get a chance to hook up. I love when we hook up, within an hour we are saying eh and other goofy Canadian talk. lol

So look at that. I may have hit 7 things even you frequent readers didn’t know. I’m afraid I can’t tag anyone with this as I have done so already. Retagging makes people cranky. lolol

PLEASE just follow the rules!

Just copy paste THIS and everything below up until my Five links:

I’ve been tagged! Kara tagged me for a meme where we post links. We can post up to five. Then we tell five more people to share their links. If we all share who tagged us, our links are sure to be seen!

They can be business links, favorite sites, affiliate links, whatever you want…

There are Five Rules:

1. MUST be clean. No R rated sites.
2. Only FIVE links.
3. MUST tell 5 people.
4. A link back to the person who tagged you
5. Lara’s Place is the meme originator. (an active link is appreciated)

My WAHM Space is the social networking site for WAHM’s! Check in and make your profile page, join groups and chat on the forums. Tell us about you and your business.

Thou Shalt Clean keeps me going with a weekly cleaning challenge. Like me, she’d like to be a clean freak. LOL

The Scented Tub is the ultimate in bath and body supplies. All products are handmade by Krista and of the finest quality. I’ve been addicted to her products for over 3 years now.

Addicting Games if I’m not working like I should be, but I’m still on the computer, you can blame my children. They got me addicted to playing pacxon on this site. LOL I love pacman, so this is just another option to play the same thing.

Home Business Resource Directory is a great place to grab resources. There are also some message boards with different topics than the usual wahm boards.

Now for my tags, which are difficult because Kara hit some of my usuals. LOL

1. Retta

2. Ami-Chan

3. Angie

4. KC

5. Lara

Here’s the deal. Google loves incoming links to your site and blog. Not just any links, but more importantly ONE WAY links. Meaning you’ve got to figure out how to get someone to link to you without having to put a link back somewhere. Not easy, but this is where this game comes in.

The rules are simple:

1. Pick a blog or site from the list below. Make sure it’s one you like, and don’t just settle on the first one! Take a look at several before you settle. Find one you REALLY like. You may also consider picking one that relates to your blog. The response will be much better.

2. Make a post on your blog about the site/blog you picked. Tell your readers why you like this site, what you hope to see, and anything else interesting that grabs your attention. It should be like a positive review of the site/blog you picked. If you cannot write something positive, please choose another blog. The idea is to give a glowing review of your favorite blog from the list. Blog posts MUST be at least 100 words.

3. Reply to this post and let us see your blog post and what site/blog you picked. You must post the exact link so we all can read it. THEN tell us which of your sites/blogs you want to be added to the list. We’ll update the list below as the posts come in.
That’s it! We hope this game will be never ending, and keep on supplying us all with new visitors and new incoming links. Plus we’ll be seeing some awesome blogs and meeting new friends! Yes you MAY add more than one review and more than one site (you get one site/blog posted per review post on your blog).

It’s been a little while since I’ve been tagged, so I’m happy to get this one. They go in spurts don’t they? lol Thanks Ami-chen for the tag. Thankfully I only have to come up with 4 tags for this one, so I can do that no problem. lol

The Rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give the facts.
2. You must list one fact that is relevant to your life for each letter in your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name than use a name that you like.
3. When you are tagged you must write a post containing your own middle name game facts.
4. At the end of your post you must tag one person for each letter in your middle name.. Don’t forget to comment them telling that they are tagged and to read your post to get the rules.

So I seriously dislike my middle name, but here it is for the whole world to read. Ruby BLECH, isn’t that a creepy name?

R- Ready for the big changes our careers have gone through to pay off.
U- Ultimate fighting (MMA) is watched most days of the week in our house. We love WWE too.

The hardest part is who to tag. Some of these have done the rounds in my bookmarks already. So I’m gonna try and dig up some new blood.

But I don’t see that Retta has done this meme.
All right, that’s it. I SUCK!!! I am on the search for some new blogging blood, but it’s not going to happen tonight. lol I also need to go hit the thurs. 13 and Supahstar.

Woohoo, I’ve been tagged by new blog blood. LOVE IT!

Rebekah from The Day of a Mom tagged me for the 8 facts and habits meme. I did this for one of my business blogs, but that wasn’t any fun. I’m going to get sporadic on the tag with this one. So keep with me at the end!

Here are the rules:

A. Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.

B. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Here we go:

1. I married my high school sweetheart. But not only did I do that, but 3 other couples that we are good friends with did as well. We are walking, talking statistical anomaly’s.

2. I hate to wash cars. We live in Seattle, it’s gonna rain soon, why bother? Now hubby is used to washing the damn fire/medic rigs and washes the cars all the time. I feel obligated. As long as I can get some sun while I’m doing it and don’t have to put my drink down, I’ll survive.

3. We live in a manufactured home in a community. Yes, the lot is 1/3 of an acre, but it’s still a mobile home. Can’t wait to get my white trash butt out of here! lmao

4. I was in love with fire trucks way before I got together with hubby. It’s just fate that he drives one and I can go visit the truck any time I want to. lol I had my fire truck tattoo planned out when I was 16. Haven’t gotten it yet though.{sigh}

5. I am a registered band member of the Tsswassen nation in Canada. Didn’t get to register until the mid/late 80’s because my Grandma married a white man and was kicked off the books. {gasp} But our family never kicked us out. We just weren’t registered until later. I love my family!

6. I’m a late nighter. I’m only a morning person because I have to be. I love to stay up late after the kids have gone to bed and it’s all quiet. Especially during the Summer while I leave the house wide open and work on cooling if off.

7. I’ve become a napper. I’m working to break the habit, but darned if I don’t get really sleepy around 2pm. lol Siesta’s are a GREAT thing!

8. I’m a raised pack rat that is fighting it with all I’ve got. In fact tomorrow we are having a big yard sale so I can fight it some more!

Well that does it for weird facts and habits about me that I don’t think I’ve talked about before. So now the super hard part. Who to tag!

Ami Chan

Oh my word, that is all for right now. It is 3am for goodness sake! lmao I’ll get back to it I promise! I have more links on the PC for blogs.

Well this may be difficult to come up with 5 things at all. I’m not too private of a person. lmao Good thing I can keep this tab open and think about it for a few hours.

My friend Retta hit me in the middle of the night with this one. I went to bed late, so she must have been holding it in laughing as we were chatting through the night. lol So here’s to finding something interesting that you don’t know!

1. I’ve had the same best friend for almost a quarter century. Even though she moved out of town, we remained good friends growing up.

2. I have a tattoo of a ladybug with some daisies. It’s just the first of many, but I can’t seem to justify the money to go get the others right now. lol

3. St. Patty’s day is my second favorite holiday. Green is my favorite color and I’m Irish, what can I say. Oh then to top it off it was the first real date hubby and I went on.

4. I have a turtle that is a bigger bitch than I am. I fill up her water and she immediately dumps it out and stares at me. Then in the middle of the night when she’s thirsty, she pushes the water bin against the glass. OVER AND OVER AND OVER…

5. I was one of those odd little girls that actually had a pony. lol We were poor, but we got him for a very low price from one of my Dad’s friend. For all those little girls that want a pony, DON’T. They are a lot of work unless you have the stable hands to take care of them for you. lmao

k, I hit 5 and that was difficult. lol Now here’s 5 people that have to do it!
Lauren
Carrie
Beth
Dianne
Kara and Anita
