Five's

Stolen from Steph's
If I had five minutes to myself, I'd
#1 Read one of my books in peace (I have several started)
#2 Finish just one project without having to get a cookie or fill up a sippie-cup or stop in any way
#3 Take a nap (I know, I know - I only have 5 minutes - but maybe they'd forget for a few more minutes. :)
#4 Shave my legs
#5 Sit on my porch and relax without someone knocking on the door asking me what I am doing
If I had $5 to spend, I'd
#1 Go to the dollar store so I could get 5 goodies with my $5
#2 Go to Coffee Beanery and get a cafe caramel (my one coffee drink I like)
#3 Go to the half price book store and get a new book
#4 Buy some dum-dum suckers for the kids
#5 Probably none of the above - I'd probably just put it in my wallet and wait for someone (DH or J) to ask me if I have any money and then hand it over.....sigh....
Five Items I'd love to get rid of:
#1 The stack of boxes in our garage that I never seem to go through and clean out
#2 All the "fat" clothes in my closet
#3 All the bills that just keep coming and coming and coming - month after month after month....
#4 The constant back pain
#5 My glasses
Five Items I wouldn't part with:
#1 My family and how I love that they are all so close by
#2 My cell phone
#3 My soft green blanket that I watch TV under
#4 My kids baby-sitter - she is a life-saver and such a blessing!! A wonderful woman.
#5 My quirks - they make me - ME!!
Five Words or Phrases I'd love to hear:
#1 "We have lots of money - go shopping and buy whatever you want!!" (Course, I wouldn't because I would feel too guilty)
#2 "Let's get a baby-sitter for the evening and go out - just the two of us. And I don't want to go to anywhere that is showing a game on TV - I just want to sit and talk and enjoy ourselves.".....ha ha ha - that one made me laugh just writing it.
#3 "I feel like you should have this HUGE raise. You've earned it."
#4 "You can diet if you want to, but you really don't need to lose weight."
#5 "Mommy, I can pee in the potty!!"
