Favorite football team: I totally love my husband so I do like the Bears, I think it is rubbing off. I used to like the Packers.....I really don't care much about either but when you are around people who get REALLY into it...it does rub off onto you.

What was the last thing you said aloud? I said Good-bye to Kris over the phone

What Web sites do you always visit when you go online? In this order too......email, myspace, blog, facebook, and then whatever else I feel like at the time.

What is your most challenging goal right now? not marching myself into the Bishops office and crying over the Sunbeams.

What is your very first memory? snakes in my bed

Would you go back to school if you had the money? maybe....I just hated school...I do want a degree, but I keep thinking that I do plan on getting a job is it worth spending all that money to get the degree?

My question is...As an adult are you what you thought you would be like when you were a kid? NO am not. I thought I would be fun loving, and I am a much more serious person than I thought I would be.

I tag Kimra, Elizabeth, Pam Brumble, and Danielle.

Strep again???

So about a month ago the kids had strep and then Kris and I both got it. On Monday I was feeling a little under the weather, then on Tuesday my throat hurt REALLY BAD. I often get sore throats this was the mother ship. Surgery done without Anastasia couldn't not have hurt this bad. I couldn't swallow...so I was spitting. So I called, (or Kris called for me) the doctor and we couldn't get in touch with him so I went to the Walgreen's clinic thing.....I was so desperate. THEY WERE GREAT! I have strep again. This time with double ear infections. I am so glad that Kris is off for the rest of the week. He took it because our anniversary was on the 3rd. We did go out to dinner but I was feeling awful. My throat is so red and swollen the expression on the NP;s face was great. She even said something on the lines of...."never seen it so bad". I am now supposed to take it easy for the next little bit, and hope that kids don't get again too. If not better in a week she want to test for Mono. I even get to gargle with Litocaine. YUM....ew.

Happy Anniversary Honey!!! I am so thankful for the "in sickness" part!
