Versatile!

I won this award:

Hooray! :0)


I'm not embarrassed to admit I Googled Versatile.  This is what it means according to dictionary.com :

• capable of or adapted for turning easily from one to anotherof various tasks, fields of endeavor, etc.: a versatile writer.  (Yup.  Some may call it ADD.  I much prefer versatile.  And the shoe fits.)

• having or capable of many uses: a versatile tool. (I can write a blog, shop online, check facebook, get my kids back into bed, get my kids back into bed again...all at the same time.  I have many uses!)

• Botany . attached at or near the middle so as to swingfreely, as an anther. (Huh?  I swing freely?  Like an anther?)

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them.

    Thank you Tasha at One Day at a Time.....  Tasha has a sweet blog about her life and  family.  She is a huge advocate for her little boy with Infantile Scoliosis.  And she is a home educator.  I could learn a lot from her!

2. Tell 7 things about yourself.

Ummm....hmmmm...

• When I was 17, I went on a date with a gorgeous guy.  I was smitten.  We're still dating....even if our dates often include our children.  And I'm still smitten.

• I love all vegetables accept for eggplant.  I really want to love it...but yuck!  Maybe I just don't know how to cook it.  I really wish the rest of my family would love veggies because it's really hard to eat a sack of turnips by myself.

• I was a preschool teacher before I had kids and I LOVED teaching.  I miss it sometimes, but I find being a stay at home mom to be more rewarding.

• I'm not scared of bugs if they have 6 legs or less.  Anything over 6 legs is just plain creepy.  I made myself hold a millipede in college to get over my fear. *shudder*  Obviously, it didn't work.

• If any sport involves a ball, even putt putt golf or bowling, I will lose.  Or my team will lose.  I'm that uncoordinated.

• I really enjoy doing the laundry.  I find it soothing, and I can fold while I watch the television.  If anyone would like to clean my kitchen, I'll do your laundry.  Any takers?

• I thought I'd be a lot better at being a wife/mom.  I think we all think that, don't we?  Sometimes I wish I had a mentor to come in and show me how it's done.  But when my kids give me a zillion hugs throughout the day and when Erik gives me that same smile that melted my 17 year old heart, I realize God has blessed me immensely and I'm eternally grateful. 

3. Now I must pass on the Versatile Blogger Award.  I follow a lot of great blogs!

I'm linking to my dear friend at Copelands on the Cusp.  She just has the sweetest family.  I love her writing and I admire her mothering skills.  I want to be her when I grow up. :)

PS- Please forgive the funkiness of this blog entry's format.  I'm not quite sure what happened, but I'm going to swing like an anther and let it go.
