Pssst, Mommy's Been Tagged!!!

Yes, it's true, I've been tagged!! Stefanie at http://www.nihaoyall.com/ tagged me. I've never done this before but I think I am supposed to list seven random facts about myself so here goes. Very boring I am sure!!!

1. Like Stefanie, I am also cheap(ahem, frugal). I can't stand to pay full price for anything and I don't. I LOVE, repeat LOVE pretty clothes but I will not pay ridiculous prices for them because to me they are disposable items. This is true for my children also. I love the hunt for a good bargain. I don't get to do this as much as I used to because of the little ones but when I do it's GREAT FUN!!!
2. I think peanut butter is an absolutely delicious treat especially when licked directly from the spoon! I was recently "CAUGHT" in the kitchen doing this by Emanuiel and Clara Beth. What could I do but grab two more spoons and let them enjoy also, now when Emanuiel wants this special treat he just goes and grabs the jar out of the cabinet and starts licking it!!
3. I detest the sound that Styrofoam makes when it rubs against things especially in cup holders. Ugh, the thought of it makes me cringe!!!!
4. I can't stand (hate) Play- doh. I know, I know, I am a kindergarten teacher for goodness sakes!! But in my classroom I use colored clay because the smell of Play- doh makes me gag!
5. I love to vacuum but hate to dust. I love vacuum cleaners, Dust Busters, Dirt Devils, etc, I even got a Shop Vac for Christmas one year(yes, I did ask for one). The more powerful the better.
6. I love chocolate(not surprising) of any kind, even the little cheap chocolates that you get in the $1 Valentine's boxes. I have been known to buy these for myself just so I can indulge. Yes, I do bite them and put them back in the box at times. No, I am not embarrassed to admit that!!
7. And finally, I always look at people's pocketbooks. No, not to see what kind they are(that doesn't interest me at all) but to see if they match what they are wearing. I do not like to see pocketbooks that do not go with one's outfit so you can imagine my embarrassment right now because I am sporting a cute canvas summer bag people when in just three days it will be November!!!! I MUST find the time to change!!!

Now you know all(most) of my crazy little quirks!!! Now I am supposed to tag someone else so here goes:

That's all for now!

Until next time......................

On a more serious note, please pray for a precious family that traveled to China with us. Bekah Grace's daddy is having surgery on Thursday. He found out in July that he has cancer of the esophagus. He has undergone chemotherapy and radiation and this is the next step in his treatment. Please pray for peace and healing for this family. I love them dearly.

Isaiah 46:11

The Lord proclaims"Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about. I have planned it; I will also do it.

Lord, proclaim and speak your healing over Mr. Bobby and provide peace and comfort to Lynn as she also endures the long wait through his surgery. They are expecting it to take from 8 to 12 hours. Please everyone who reads this pray................You can see Mr. Bobby and Bekah Grace decorating their pumpkin in our slide show below. Jeremiah is also Bekah's big brother.

****Update*****

Bobby's surgery went very well, the doctor was able to do every thing she wanted to do. Continue to lift them up because the next 24 hours are critical. God has already answered so many prayers and I know He will continue to do so.
