8. My favorite job was working in the ER. I loved it. I will finish nursing school when Gav is older
9. Maddie is a Clone of me. In looks and personality. It worries me, I dont want her to make the same mistakes I made.
10. I am a party planner... I love to plan parties, trips, dinners, all sorts of "fun" events. I like to be in charge of it. Kind of a control freak I guess but in a good way.. I think???
11. I wanted to be an archaeologist, I love history and learning and seeing old architecture. I would love to dig up treasures
12. I started going gray at 17, and would be completely gray by now if I didnt color my hair every 6 weeks.

14. Laundy is my arch nemesis.. I hate it, and with 5 kids its never ending! I need a maid..

19. My kids think I'm a party mom. I was always planning fun things to do with them. Taking them to movies, nicklecade, tree house, childrens museume, swimming, to name a few. They are actually spoiled cuz they always ask, so what are we doing today. Like everyday is a party! Its gotten harder since Ive had the baby so we havent done as much. Plus they were starting to expect it instead of appreciating it. I think I do it to stay busy..
