1.   No matter what’s going on in your life, what always makes you smile?   Snuggling with my kids!

2. What’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told?   I hate to say it, but it would be what I told the kids before.  That there was a boogie man and he comes to get kids that don’t go to bed, as long as you stayed in bed and had your eyes shut he wouldn’t come.  If you talk and goof around (get out of bed) when you are suppose to be sleeping he will come.  It was after that my kids would go to bed without any problems.    My parents made the mistake of telling them before that there wasn’t a boogie man up at their trailer and you should of seen the kids… they cheered and said good, then we don’t have to go to bed!   It was awful trying to get them go to sleep.    I did tell Kevin that there isn’t a boogie man anymore and he still goes to sleep great for me.   If I have a hard time trying to get Katie to sleep (which is very rare) he will scratch on the wall so she thinks it’s the boogie man and she will dive under the covers and you don’t hear a peep from her anymore.  LOL    The other day though she did tell Daddy that there wasn’t a boogie man.. she figured out the scratching noise was us scratching the wall.    I felt so terrible the first time I told them about it… it was over an hour of trying to get them to bed (Paul works 2nds so it was 2 versus 1) and i was exhausted.  When it worked I felt relieved but thought there would be no way I would do it again, then the next day they started in again so I brought it up and it worked again.  They never did have nightmares (thankfully) but I always wonder if that’s because I told them he only comes after naughty kids who don’t go to bed?

3. Do you hold a grudge?   Sometimes, but I honestly try not to.

4. What is the worst job you’ve ever had?   I’ve been pretty fortunate to of liked all my jobs.  I would have to say the worst of them would of been working for the phone company and being the only person to do move orders for 3 states!  I would get the orders for people phone lines to be moved to their new location and the due date would usually be the date I received it or even a few days earlier.  Needless to say I got yelled at a lot by customers.. that was no fun.

5. What would be your dream job?   I love what I’m doing… being a stay at home mom!  

6. What is the happiest event you’ve experienced?   Fist it was getting engaged, then getting married, then after a year of trying actually finding out I was pregnant, but my happiest days would have to be when Kevin & Katie was born.   

7. What is the saddest thing you’ve experienced?    When my Grandparents passed away.

8. Do you tend to exaggerate or underestimate?  I tend to do both.. guess it depends what you are talking about.
