The economy has affected everyone...

This is a conversation that I overheard between Michael (13) and Matthew (4). Michael was explaining to Matthew about Santa...

Michael: "If you are really good Santa will bring you lots of presents!"

Matthew: (Laughs with excitement)

Michael: "If you are really bad then Santa will come and fart in your stocking."

Matthew: "Na uh!"

Well, there we have it folks...Santa too has felt the pinch of the economy's downturn. He can no longer afford coal so he has turned to a free renewable resource!

I hope you have all been very, very good!

8 Random Things

A while back, I got tagged from a random poster. I have been veeeerrrryyyy slow in getting around to following through on this. I have to admit, it's hard to think of anything that I might want to post on here for anyone to see.

1. I am an extremely private person and most people do not really know me.

2. I love, love, love shoes!!! The more the merrier! My motto is: If the shoe fits...buy it in every color!

3. I enjoy ironing and often iron my bedding. Weird, huh?

4. I am not anywhere close to the person I was in high school. My husband said that if he had known me in high school he would have never married me.

5. I am deathly afraid of bodies of water where I can't see the bottom.

6. I was named Business Student of the Year my senior year of high school. I was also named Most Likely to Have Ten Kids but not because a crystal ball saw that I would marry a Mormon. Maybe it had something to do with all the partying? I think that it's totally funny that I now have 9 kids.

7. I am a major homebody and have no desire to travel.

8. Someday I would like to be a foster parent and do emergency placements of infants and toddlers.

Well, that's it! Not very exciting, huh? I actually had to go back and change some of those after the first posting. I'm just so darn private that it was driving me nuts having a couple of the original things that I said hanging out there for anyone to run across. :)
