A Meme From Jenna
Jenna tagged me for this meme. Please feel free to skip this if after reading my 100 yesterday you happen to be sick of hearing me talk about myself! (smile)10 years ago….I had 4 kids ages 8 and under, including a 1 year old. I was working part-time as an RN delivering babies, and I was in my second year of homeschooling.
5 years ago…. I had 6 kids, including two 2 yr olds. I had been a stay at home mom for two years.
1 year ago….we had just started the adoption process for our 8th child. Four months later we had her home!
Yesterday…I had 4 kids under age 8 including a 1 year old, plus 3 teens and an 11 year old. I went with my oldest to get her senior pictures, posted my 100th blog, made a fabulous curry with chicken, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes for dinner, and afterwards watched the Olympics with my family...
Tomorrow…is Saturday, so no school and it's cartoon day too. Veg-out time.

love the crocus picture!
But, sardines and taco chips? Dare I ask how you discovered THAT?
Ok then let's keep up talking about oursleves. I've just tagged you for another one! :)
Thanks for playing. The crocus is beautiful, and gives me hope even though spring is still a long time coming in NYC. Your dream foundation for Ethiopia sounds an awful lot like my dream foundation for Bangladesh....perhaps one day, they'll be sister organizations? God could do it....
Yay for the crocus! I have spring fever today. It's a beautiful day in Idaho!
i think I will have to try that curriculum it sounds like a lot of fun.Have a great weekend.

Fellow 'Grey's Anatomy' fan! Love that show. Couldn't believe that guy blew up. (I'm trying to trick other people into watching too!) I love hearing you talk about yourself, you are one of the most inspiring people that I don't really know.
I didn't know you were an RN. Delivering babies to boot. That is one area I would definately like to give a try... someday. I loved that rotation in my clinicals!
OH! Your Crocus is so beautiful!!!!
I also would adopt as many children as possible with 100,000. Other people may think we're crazy, but we understand each other, I think.
