Bring Your Own Crazy!!

Drazil's new set of questions is out for this fine Friday! So here we go...

1. If you were asked to symbolize yourself as an animal – which animal would you be?
I thought about it and can't decide so I asked my kids.
In a bad mood a tasmanian devil and in a good mood a penguin. -Wyatt age 10
A mama cat. -Lydia age 5
A mama dog with little puppies. -Averill age 5

2. Did you ever play an organized sport – with coaches, rules and scoring? Tell us about it.
No. When I was six I went out for soccer. I was the only girl at the "try outs", I was super shy and scared of the male coaches. (I think my mom stayed home with my younger brothers and my older brother walked me to the field b/c he was trying out too.) I never went back.

3. When did you start shaving your legs?
7th grade, so I was 12. I remember when I realized I needed to like it was yesterday. I put on shorts for gym class and noticed they looked a kind of hairy but didn't think much of it. The look on some boy's face cemented that it was worse than I thought. Thank goodness he didn't loudly point it out or tease me I would have died from embarrassment! I started shaving the next day.


4. When you’re in a crabby – pissy – want to stab everyone you see kind of mood – what do you do to get out of it or do you revel in it?
 My family would probably say I revel in it but really if they would just leave me the hell alone I could actually do something to get out of it. A nap can help, if I'm left to sleep until I wake up on my own other wise watch out! Lately getting out for a run or a bike ride has helped.

5. Repeat question: Summarize your week in blogland and in real life.
Blogland has been quiet. I was really busy with the holiday weekend and then the girls' birthday so I got behind on reading. I'm caught up now but wasn't able to comment a whole lot.
Real life, well I'm still looking for a part time job but it's a little less emergent, hubby sold his duck boat last weekend for cold, hard cash. We paid off a couple of small bills that were looming, bought the girls' b-day stuff, and stashed cash for groceries for the next month or so. What a relief!!
