Six Random Things You May Not Know About Me (And Probably Don’t Want To Know!) February 19, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — khctcj @ 4:08 pm

So Heather tagged me. Like I know six random things about myself AND six people to tag?!?  Here goes….

1. I was valedictorian of my high school and didn’t even know what it meant when they told me.

2. One time in high school, I came home with my shirt on backwards. But because I had wanted to wear a t-shirt that had two fried eggs conveniently placed on the top half of my shirt, and my mother would not let me wear it. So I changed after I left my house, and changed back before I came home. Apparently, I did not notice the way I put my first shirt back on. Similar to the fact that I did not know what valedictorian meant.

3. If Heather or Cassidy had been a boy, they would have been named Nicholas Scott Donaldson.

4. When I was in third grade, I wanted to be just like Beatrice. A little spanish girl who lived over in the poor apartments on Peidmont Road. She always wore dresses and tights (that was probably all she had) and I wanted to wear that too. I also wanted to change my name to Betty (that was what she was called). I figured that since my first name was Kimberly…….. berly was similar to Betty – both started with a B and ended with a Y, and I had an E, and my L was close to a T. Sadly, no one ever called me Betty….. just “Crazy”!

5. I loved being pregnant and I loved having my kids! They are the joy of my life and I would be nothing without them! I am so proud of them and happy that I get to see them often.

6. One time when I was little, I fell on the driveway and had a big knot on my head. My brother (2 yrs. younger) was mad one day and bit me on my bump. It hurt. Also, one time my brother was outside playing in some stupid looking Buster Brown pants (what we all wore), and I felt bad, so I put on my Buster Brown pants and went outside to play with him. So we both looked dumb together!

Consider yourselves tagged…Anne, Trish, Lin, Sandra, Cody, Tyler, Cassidy (yes, I know that is 7)

 

 

 

I Finally Finished! February 14, 2009

My gift to Hadley is finally finished! I started it months ago, and have worked on it sporadically, but at least I finished it before she turned one year old.

Now, it’s time to make something for Cassidy so she won’t feel left out.

My third child is 24! You would have thought I would be living in a rockin’ condominium with parties and hot dates every night. Not at home with three grown children! But, I would not trade my life for anything. Besides, some nights I come home and it is a rockin’ party!

When Harry Has a Camera……. January 12, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — khctcj @ 5:14 pm

Cassidy and I watched the little ones on Sunday night. Well, I watched the little ones because Cassidy said she had a headache from Woody’s farts and “besides, I babysit all the time!” This was her pose..

Of course, the first part of our visit, she was able to do tricks and color…
