The rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
[The common "house" rule in much of my Neighborhood for these sorts of posts is to allow an open door policy-- rather than tag specific people, there is an open invitation to answer.]
1) What were you doing ten years ago? I was a Stay at Home Mom that also watched a neighborhood boy. Jordan was 2.5 and Max would turn 1 in June.

I was loving life and really enjoying the time I was able to spend with 'my boys'. With in a few months my sister-in-law (who had been living with us) would move to Boston and I would start watching another little boy. It was a great time in my life full of love and friends.

I was tagged by Useta who had some interesting things to share about herself. Since I am pretty much an open book, I'm not sure if there is anything that I haven't shared at one time or another.
1. I was in the band/color guard in Jr. High and High School. I can not for the life of me carry a beat or a tune. I can't read music and would have to take my music sheets home in order to pencil in the right notes. The clarinet was my instrument of torture. My high school band was not good. Our own class-mates boo-d us and threw ice on us. It was sad.
2. I am scared of water/drowning. I had a near-drowning incident when I was 7 or 8 and ever since then I can't stand for water to be on my face. I don't do much swimming, although I love it....I'm always scared there will be rough housing and I'll get dunked. I don't let the water in the shower hit me in the face, either.
3. I never wanted to learn how to drive. My Mom didn't learn until she was 36-ish and I didn't see any reason why I needed to learn. My Dad told me if I didn't learn, I'd have to quit the band and any other extra-curricular activities as he and Mom were done driving me around. I was the only student in my driver's ed class to get 100's on the two different state tests required for new drivers. I did not have to learn how to parrallel park; at the age of 43 I still don't know how to do it.
Seven or eight...wow, this is getting really difficult.
4. I've been hospitalized for pnuemonia, strep throat, and for child-birth (twice). I've never (knock on wood) broken a bone. I've had out-patient surgery/procedures for: fertility issues (four times), an eeg (I kept passing out and they couldn't figure out why), two MRI's (both diagnosed severe sinus infections; one of which was causing the passing out) and to have a heart condition fixed.
5. I've never tried to play Nintendo, Wii, Xbox, or PlayStation.
6. I've seen a ghost. She was wearing a peach colored long flowing gown. She walked down the hall, through a corner, down another hall, and out through the front door. There have been many 'sightings' on the block in that neighborhood. One friend sees the door knob turning, but no one is there, she also feels the presence of someone in the kitchen with her when she knows she's the only one in the house; then there's the thumping up in the attic. Yet another friend witnessed a man in a pale blue suit searching for something and having his hand being taken by an angel at which time they disappeared.
7. One of my most favorite things in the World is to rock and hold a baby until it is sound asleep and my arms are aching.
8. Sometimes I go out to pet my kitteh, even though I know I will have to take extra allergy medicine and a shower. I just always hope that once I'm in the shower I can start breathing easy again.
Okay, that's eight! Now I'm supposed to tag eight people, but I feel like most of my neighbors have been tagged, so here's the deal. Tag! You're it! if you haven't been tagged before you have now!!! Please share. If you have been tagged and haven't responded, shame on you! Its fun! Share already!! LOL!!
