-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is one thing you miss about childhood?

I miss the innocence we had as children, how we didn't know what a dollar was or bills we had to pay but really just the freedom of not knowing about bad things and people. Just having the summer to play, and pretend and just be kids. Something Nico has and every time I see it, I think how wonderful that was and want to make sure he has that innocence as long as possible. Nico can play for hours and pretend to be Thomas or Percy, or just dig and dig in the dirt without a care in the world...that's what I miss most!

2. Are you still friends with friends from High School?

Yes, my bestest friend Terri and I have been friends since the 7th grade....12 I think? Not that anyone else would understand but Ter, it all started with a door slam and we have been best friends ever since. Even though we don't see each other as often as we should....I know she'll be there for me no matter what... and not matter how much she might want to get rid of me...she is stuck with me. I cherish our friendship and can't imagine my life without her.

3. Is there a catch phrase, cliche or a word that drives you crazy every time you hear it?

I hate the word "WHATEVER", I don't know what it is about it but it's like a slap in the face for me. It's almost like you are blowing me off and being disrespectful and I strongly dislike the word and everything it means....and don't get me started on the W people do with their hands to symbolize it......

4. What is the one thing that symbolizes America...besides "Old Glory"?

The National Anthem always makes me tear up, that to me symbolizes America or seeing Soldiers in Uniforms, it reminds me of our freedoms they give us every single day. Remember to say "Thank You" to those who are serving, have served and/or their families for the sacrifices they make every single day.

5. What are your 4th of July plans?

My plans are usually the same, my cousin son's birthday is on the 4th so she always has a swimming party which is always fun! And then it's off to the lake for fireworks!!! Other than that not much else, just getting stuff done around the house. We'll see how Nico does with all his swimming lessons this year to see if he loves her pool better than last year....hopefully he doesn't want to use the slide..that might freak me out!!!

Hope your 4th is Safe and Fun!!

Until our next "Fun" adventure!!!
