I like this! I like you.
I like you too. You like to say Fuck. And you like Little House. I asked for (and got) the ‘early books’ series one year for Christmas. I re-read them every couple of years.
Great list!
Ahh… “You never even called me by my name” … I couldn’t possibly count how many times I’ve done the singalong thing on this one (in country/western bars.)
Little House books? I still have all my childhood hardbacks.
I love that song by Sarah Mclachlan.
I think everyone deserves healthcare too.
I read the No cry sleep solution…and tried it for a month and finally put it away. It was not the right book for my girl. Good luck.
ARCI Your write it; I read it!
My eight books would include the phone book.
I love your lists…
I am so there on laughing at the pain of our kids when we have kids. But my parents are not allowed to do this.
“Understand I hate the phone” I AM THE SAME WAY.
The last 2 things… same here. I think I enjoy not having “a boss.” WAIT. Braden is my boss. DAMNIT.
Your songs? I’ve never heard (or heard of) any of them. That fascinates me.
Fantastic lists; thanks for playing! I love your last two items too–perfect summary of SAHMdom!
I hate the phone too. And I’m German, to boot! HA!
I didn’t get that last 8 things on my 8 things meme…strange!
