Tag: Keepin' It Real

Image
By
I looked at my comments really late one night and noticed that my friend, Kelley, had tagged me. Usually, I'll read someone's tag and think, "That would be really fun." So, I looked at Kelley's blog and internally groaned! I guess what you're supposed to do is get off the computer RIGHT NOW and take the pictures before you do anyting. That means NO CLEANING, and NO MAKEUP or PRIMPING! I was just so not ready for this one. But, before I got up the next morning and started cleaning, I took my pictures. So, they are pretty true to the real thing. And, it's ... well, scary!

My Toilet
(Seriously, it could have been a lot worse.)

My Sink

(It's usually fuller than this. But, because I always try to get the dishes done before going to bed, I'd done the dishes the night before.)

My Closet

(Okay, so everything on the left of the picture, and all the pants on the top of the picture are my husband's. I know, I know ... I am totally lacking in the clothes department right now. But, only for five more months [assuming I can get back into my prepregnancy wardrobe then]. And, I don't wear any of the stuff hanging here anyway because they all look like tents on me right now. And, yes, it's a very messy closet.)

My Favorite Room

*My Living Room. It's where I spend most of my "ME" time.*

My Refrigerator

My Laundry Room

*Um, it was laundry day. That's all I have to say.*

What My Children are Doing

What My Hubby's Doing

My Favorite Shoes

Me Right Now

*YIKES!!!!!*

Oh, and I tag: Rivka O., Aubrey A., Kris T., and Debbie S.!

THIS is why I read blogs (and don't do one of my own! :) :) :) )!! You are worried about nothing! With four kids and chores to do, I'm really impressed! And I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one who runs around without make-up. I figure, unless I'm "going out" (i.e. church functions, a date) why wear make-up when only my kids look at me all day? :)

Don't delete "Alan"!!! "Alan" is actually "Lynette." I must be signed in on my hubby's e-mail...

Hey! I finished my end of the tag process! You're house looks about the same as mine (as far as being clean goes)! No worries! You look great too for being 5 months along. I'm starting to accumulate fat around my face. It's going to be a long two months!!

You are such a good sport!! It looked exactly as clean and organized as I knew it would - at least to my standards that's pretty clean and organized! Thanks for going along with it! :)

I like that one...I wish we could get those pictures in People and other magazines of the celebrities we idolize to show that everyone is "real". Fun. Maybe I'll try that sometime. :-)

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
