Life in a Teacup

Life of a Mom with four small boys who moved from the big city to a very small town in Eastern Oregon. Getting used to living without Costco, Winco and Target.

Jumping on the bandwagon

10 years ago: I was a newlywed. I just quit my teaching job at the juvenile prison and trying to get parolees work in the job market. I HATED that - so I was interviewing for more teaching jobs - I think at this point I had just been hired to start the Alternative HS. We were still in ana apratment.

5 years ago: I was in my second house pregnant with my second son. My eldest was almost 2. I was a SAHM and had no plans for working!

1 year ago: I was pregnant with son#4. Sons 1-3 were 5 ,3, and 1. Still a SAHM. No clue I was going to in 6 months. DH was working obnoxious hours adn gone 4-5 nights per week.

Yesterday:SUNDAY! Always a nice day cause HD is home to help with the boys. The boys blew their allowance on vending machine aliens who now fly around the house especially when I throw them after stepping on them! Another great day taking the boys swimming. And it wasnt bloody 100 degrees outside!

Today: 100 degrees again today. Sigh. Swim lessons for the boys and library time. It's hot. I'm cranky and wishing I could go buy a Blizzard but the boys didnt eat a good dinner so I cant reqard anyone with ice cream.

Tomorrow:Swim lessons and perhaps bowling. The boys earned bowling money and are anxious to go. At least the bowling alley is air conditioned!

5 snacks I enjoy: peanuts, blizzards, caramel, peanut butter, kettle corn - homemade of course!

5 bands that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs: Honestly, none. Im not a know the lyrics to the owrds kind of gal unless you count kids music.

5 things I would do with $100,000,000: oh goodness - not much you COULDNT do with that much! boys college funds - check. no debts- check, household cleaning amd gardening help - check, travel - check!, helping others - crisi centers, boys and girls clubs ad the like....

5 locations I'd like to run away to: Thailand, Italy, Greece, Canada, Ireland

5 bad habits I have: Nitpick over money, sarcasm, envy the greener pasture, bite my nails, nag

5 things I like doing: hanging out with dh and boys, reading, shopping, finding bargains, being a mom

5 things I would never wear: thongs, paisley, velour, half shirts, ball gowns

5 TV shows I like: no Tv right now! I was pretty big into reality TV - Amazibng race, Survivor, The Apprentice before move

5 movies I like: Hmmmm - until Netflix I hadnt watched ANY movies in years.
