Getting to know you!

This is my first "Getting to Know You!"

1.) If you had $5000.00 to spend on plastic surgery what would you have done?
I would probably pick a breast lift. Nursing has not treated them well.

2.) Do you watch Soap operas and if so what is your favorite and why?
No. I don't watch Soap Operas. I don't watch too much TV.

3.) Favorite clothing brand?
Juicy Couture for sure!

4.) An afternoon shopping spree at your favorite store or maid service for a year?
Maid Service for sure. It'd sure be nice not to clean up after my boys. Oh, and my laundry would always be done!

5.) Would you ever vajazzle?
No. Wouldn't it hurt taking it off? OUCH!

6.) Favorite Disney Princess?
Cinderella.

7. Last movie that made you bawl your eyes out?
I honestly don't know. I don't really watch tear jerkers. I'm a comedy sort of person.

8. Have you ever broken any bones and if so what?
Nope.

Bloggers Against Drunk Driving Pledge To Stay Sober & Alive

I joined this blog hop, because I feel strongly about drinking and driving. It's such a stupid thing to do and yet so many people drive drunk daily. My family is full of alcoholics and most have had a DUI at some point in their life. My father is included. He got one before I was born. He still drinks, but he doesn't drive and drive. 

It's a very common sight where I live to see people drinking and driving. They don't even try to hide it. My husband has witnessed many people sitting with beers between their legs, while he is out driving. I don't understand how people can be so irresponsible. 

Attention Bloggers
The Department of Transportation has asked American bloggers to spotlight the critical importance of staying sober behind the wheel this Independence Day. I am very against drinking and driving as I was almost hit by a drunk driver. Luckily a friend of mine was driving in front of me and saw the driver coming off of the highway directly at me and swerved into him, blocking him from hitting me. The police said that I would have been seriously hurt if the driver had hit me instead. My friend's car was totaled and he had to go to physical therapy for a long time. Think before you drink and drive. You normally will be okay but the person you hit might be killed. They also might have their family in the car or just as bad, be someones mother, father, child or loved one.


This also goes for all of you that text and drive. It's the same as being drunk. Nothing is that important that you can't pull over or wait until you get home. You probably say it won't happen to you because you know you are safe when you do it but it can happen to anyone.

Safe a life, Drive safe!

Summer is here!

The weather here in, Missouri, is definitely

H-O-T!

I love going to bed on warm summer nights. I love the breeze blowing in my windows. I love the fresh air. It's very relaxing to hear the insects chirping.

Speaking of insects! Tonight the boys and I are going outside to find fireflies! A childhood memory of mine is going outside on summer nights with my cousins and collecting fireflies! We put them into glass jars with holes in them. It was fun watching the fascinating creatures! We always released them back into the wild before we went to bed at night.

Happy Father's Day!

To my wonderful husband. Happy Father's Day!

Thank you for working so hard for our family. Him working a lot has allowed me to stay at home with the boys. I am so appreciative of that. He will never know how grateful I am to stay at home with the boys.

Thank you for being such a wonderful father.

To my dad, I love you. I hope that you know that I love being Daddy's little girl.
