Five Question Friday





Mama M over at My Little Life created this wonderful blog hop called Five Question Friday.  She asks the questions and we answer them....can it get any easier?  If you want to play along all you have to do is click on the button above and have fun :o)


1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?


Since there isn't really anything exciting to write about yet....yes, I wrote yet.....that movie star is probably not born yet.  LOL  I dunno who I would want to play me, maybe Jennifer Aniston....I like her.  She's pretty. 


2. Did you ever go to summer camp?


Nope. The only kind of camp I went to was either with church or my school.  I can't remeber though cause it's been sooooo long!!!


3. What sends you running and screaming in the other direction?


Bugs...roaches, spiders, anything creepy and crawly scares the crapola out of me!!!


4. What is something you do that drives your spouse nuts?


That I cry over everything!!!  I cry when I watch movies, I cry when I read a good book, I cry when I am happy, I cry when I am sad......you get the point right?  I cry A LOT!!!

 
5. What is currently your favorite song?
 
Daddy's Home by Usher!!!  I love that man song!!!

Questioning everything


Abby from Murdock's Mama has this great little fill in the blank thingy that she does on Thursdays and I have played along once and decided to do it again today.  If you want to play along just click right here and let Abby know you are playing along.



Outside my window..It's really blah!!!  The were saying on the news that it might snow today??? 
The time is..a little after 3 pm
Today I feel..Blah like the weather!
I am thinking..about how moving back home is going to change my life.
At the moment, I am thankful..for my sons!!!  Where would I be without them!?!?! 
I am going..to start working out again after I move to Iceland.
I am wearing..just a t-shirt and work out pants.
I wish..I could see into the future 
I am reading..blogs!  I am not going to start a new book before I leave.
I am working on..getting my suitcases packed! 
I am hoping..I will be able to take all my scrapbooking stuff!
I am hearing..Kobe talking to me.
Around the house..there is stuff all over the place!  It looks like a bomb exploded in my house!!!
I bet you didn't know..I wear shoes size 8.5
One of my favorite..places to be is in bed...I love to lay in bed and read and watch TV.  It is my security blanket!!

Suitcases and Garage Sale


This is going to be the boys and I at the airport!!  No, I am kidding....we will have half of that :o)

I have finally gotten quite a few things done around here.  I have packed most of my suitcases and I am getting ready for the garage sale tomorrow.   One of my girls Abby asked me what I am going to sell tomorrow and I thought maybe I could get some pics up for you guys but I am having the hardest time getting anything done.

I will try my hardest to get some pictures up so you can see what I am selling.  I can give you a list though....


Kitchen table and 4 chairs

Kobe's baby crib

Brand spanking new bunk beds with mattresses that have always had mattress covers on them (I bought the boys bunk beds after we moved here...2 months ago).

Sewing machine

Crock pot

Baskets, Baskets, Baskets....I love Baskets!!!

African Masks on the wall

Dressers

Toy box

Toys

Play Station 2

Vases

Candle holders

I think you get the idea.  I will try to get pictures up so you can see for yourself.


Back to sorting and packing and getting ready to sell.

What are you doing today???












Guess what came in the mail today??

This awesome box arrived!!!





Inside this awesome box was this even awesomer (is that a word??) computer!!!



I know I am a Mac girl all the way but this time I could not afford a Mac and went with Dell instead.  I have to say that I really like this laptop.




Did you notice that it is PINK!!!  I love PINK :o)

I am so excited to get to know it better LOL!!!

I bought the laptop to use for school this fall.  My great friend Pennie asked me the other day what I am going to school for and I have to say I am a little bit hesitant to say.  The reason why I am hesitating is only because what if something comes up or I change my mind and decide not to go this way with my schooling???  Sorry, I am doing a lot of questioning myself and everything else at the moment and I see after re-reading what I just wrote that I need to stop doing that!

I am going to Law school!!

 That has always been my dream and I have decided to go for it and make my dreams come true!!!  It will take me 6 years to complete school but I think it is worth it :o)

Am I doing the right thing??

In 13 days I leave this country and move to a whole different world.  I move to a place where they speak a whole nother language, eat different food, wear a different style of clothes and live a different way of life.  Two of my children do not speak the language anymore, they can understand it but they do not speak it.  Are they going to be happy there?  Is Markus going to be able to speak the language?  Is Markus going to be happy there?  How is Kobe going to handle being away from his Daddy?  How am I going to handle being a single Mom?  How am I going to handle this all alone?


I keep asking myself if this is the right decision!  I am really nervous about starting all over again.  I am really nervous about having to move to Iceland.  I love the states and chose to move here and now I am moving away.  The main reason why I am moving to Iceland is because my family is there so I will have their support and help.  I would never be able to go to school full time in the states being alone with 3 boys.  I wouldn't have anywhere to go to start my life if I stayed here in the states.  I have had offers from people telling me I could stay with them but I can't live with someone else with 3 boys.  That would be too hard on us and too hard on them.


One of the things that I am having such a hard time with is....I can't take my stuff!!  I know it is just stuff and it is replaceable but dang it...I love my stuff!!!   As I am packing up my things, I keep realizing that I am going to have to leave a lot more stuff than I realized.  I am most worried about my scrapbooking stuff, I love to scrapbook and I have A LOT of scrapbooking stuff.  I want to take that with me more than anything else.  Yesterday I packed the papers in boxes to send to Iceland and I am really afraid that I am not going to be able to send the papers because they will be too heavy.

I sent a box out on Monday that weighed 17 lbs and it cost me $80 to send it.  These boxes with papers in them weigh about 30 lbs (at least) each!  The thing is, scrapbooking paper is really expensive in Iceland and I don't want to have to start that collection all over again!  I am really torn about this!

I have to leave all my Christmas stuff!!!  I have such a beautiful collection of Christmas stuff and I am broken hearted to have to leave it behind.  I have asked Dewayne to keep my Christmas stuff until I move back stateside (in 6-7 years) but I don't know if he would do that for me.  He says he will but who knows what's going to happen in all that time.


Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine!!!  I am having a feeling sorry for myself Wednesday!  I have to sell all my belongings in two days and I don't know if I can!

Post it note Tuesday

There is a fun Tuesday meme that I have been wanting to play along to for awhile but have never remembered until it was too late :o(  Today, I remembered :o)  Click on the button below to play along.































Now I am really going to get off my bum off of this computer!!!

Have a great night!
