I've been tagged!

I have been tagged by Stephanie. Go visit her blog at http://journeytoeli.blogspot.com/. Steph and I met through this process and discovered we live very close to each other. She has fast become a maountain of support.

The rules are to link the person who sent this and leave a comment on their blog so their readers can visit yours~Post the rules on your blog~Share 7 strange/weird facts about yourself~Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and link their blog~Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.



So lets give this a try.

1.) I am really a very private person. I hate talking about myself. My children are great to talk about, but myself, I get uncomfortable fast. I do not take compliments well either. So you had better appreciate this Steph..lol


2.) This kind of goes with No.1 but I hate social events. If it is with family I am fine. but when it comes to a group of people I don't know. Give it up. I will have to be dragged there.


3.) I have raised or help raise over 40 children in my life. Through foster care and other programs I have worked with. Basically no matter how many times we say we are through,if someone asks, and it involves a child in need, Joe and I are there.


4.) I am a HUGE procrastinator. If it can be put off till tomorrow it will be. If you are lucky I will get it to you before you need it. I always have way to many things going on at once. which makes it next to impossible to get anything done on time. BUT,,,,, If it is something I am interested in or something I WANT done.. This of course is another issue. It will be done and double checked 3 days early.


5.)I knew my husband all through high school. But I never liked him. He tried for four years to get me to go out with him. I had the same boyfriend for four years through school,so I never gave Joe a second look. We met again through a mutual friend when we were 22 and we have been inseperable ever since. This is his favorite story to tell the kids. How I was to stuck-up to give him a second look.. He's a goof!


6.) I LOVE turtles! They are all over my house. I have thousands of them. Most packed away in the attic. I have been collecting them since I was little. that and my pink kitchen are always the two things people comment on when they first come in. What can I say. I LOVE them.


7.)I hate to be kept waiting. It may take me six hours to get ready and you ten mins. but when I am ready you had better be also. And I will really get mad if it is a professional that keeps me waiting. It is rude. and if you have to keep someone waiting you can tell them and give them an option. Not just make them wait.

So now I must tag 7 other people. So I hope I don't tage some one who has already been tagged.

Why do none of these surprise me??? ;)

You may be private, but you and Joe have HUGE hearts and so much love to give. I really admire your open arms and how you give so unconditionally.
