I hate to run, so I always got tagged, and then I couldn't get rid of the "it" status once I got it. I got tagged by my friend E.
So here goes.

Little Monster woke up 4 times in the night.
I was a bad mommy, locked him in his play room and slept until 8:30
We went to the grocery store
A fight ensued at the grocery store about the lack of steering wheels in the truck shopping cart
I opened the pantry door to find it moving with ants

I'm HIT!
No one shot me, I've just been tagged. I've been pretty 'tag-free' around here. So this was quite a surprise. Seeryus Mama tagged me for this. Are you ready?
What was I doing 10 years ago?
Would it be bad if I said I couldn't remember what I was doing during the summer 10 years ago? I had just graduated from high school. So, I was probably being stupid. I imagine I was hanging out with friends, running about town, and working while getting ready to start community college in the fall. I was feeling the 'pressure' of being an 'adult.'
Pardon me while I pause. I just laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.
5 things on my to do list today:
1. Get off the computer
2. Clean the house
3. Win the lottery so we can afford to drive to Nebraska this summer. (we're going anyway).
4. Get self and child dressed. In clothing.
5. Get OFF of the COMPUTER!
Snacks I enjoy: Chocolate. As long as it isn't the Costco ice cream novelty chocolate. Then, chocolate. You can pretty much go back through my last 5 posts, and have this question answered. I seem to be writing more about food than anything else.
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
This is a toughie. I would give a lot of it away. A. LOT. I would find churches and charities, and give them all kinds of things. Like Bosom Buddies. I would buy them a couple hundred grand in baby clothes. Because I love what she does. (She is doula in South Africa). I'd make friends with Warren Buffet and Bill and Linda Gates and try to convince them that we should get all of the rich people together and fix our health care system.
But I'd also have a super snazzy Mustang, and a big house somewhere beautiful, with lots of people to help me clean it -- all paid well.
Places I have lived:
Wow. Seriously? You ask a Navy wife this? Good thing I've only been married 6 years! Let's see: We started out Married in Lincoln, NE. Then, we moved to Newport, RI. Moved to Virginia Beach, VA. Back to Lincoln, NE. Not the Momma lived in Bahrain at that time, and we visited twice, for a month at a time, so I guess we 'lived' there too. Now we're in California. For another year or so. Then, who knows where? But that won't be the last place we live either.
People I'm tagging. Hmmm. I'm not very good at tagging people, because I'm afraid no one will do it. Usually I cop out at this point, and tag everyone. But, let's see.
I'm tagging: Ashlee because she loves me the mostest, Marmite Breath because who doesn't love marmite and because she's moving where I once lived! yeah!, and Vanessa because she needs to pretend to have graduated from our high school and crash the reunion this summer!
If you want to participate, you can too! I don't want anyone to feel left out.

A Meme, Courtesty of...
San Diego Momma because this and this should explain why I'd want to eat my face. Especially considering the fact that I didn't include the part of today where Little Monster lived up to his pseudonym by screaming for 45 minutes instead of napping, and then screaming for 20 minutes instead of going to bed. After screaming through all of our not so fun and relaxing Cinco De Mayo dinner.
What was I doing ten years ago?
This is going to show my age... Some people are going to gaff at how young I am, especially my husband. That's fine. ten years ago, I was screwing off. It was my senior year of high school, and I'll be d@mned if I was going to do anything. Senioritis. Yeah, I had it.
5 things on my “to do” list today:
1. Shower (done!)
2. Go to Costco and spend a small fortune on way too much crap I probably could live without. (done!)
3. Work on my ID stuff. (oops!)
4. Kill dog for digging under fence. (Don't worry PETA, I just gave her a stern talking to, and then gave her a bath -- torture! torture! I tell you!)
5. Kill gophers. (still working on it.)
Snacks I enjoy:
Roasted gophers. Oh, no, I'm seriously kidding. That sounds gross. If it contains chocolate, that'd be on my list. Also, guacamole and chips from Chipolte. And Ice Cream. And chocolate. Sometimes, Salty chips with french-onion dip. And Chocolate. M&Ms, Snickers, and did I mention Chocolate?
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Buy out the contract of my husband's career. Figure out how to do something to 'fix' some of the problems.. You know, all Bill Gates style, and then I'd pay someone to tell me how to wear my makeup. Like, what colors to wear... because If I'm rich I'll be having galas that I'll need to wear makeup to. And I'd have a Mustang. And one helluva kicka$$ kitchen.
5 places I have lived:
California(as a baby), Nebraska, Rhode Island, Virginia, Nebraska (second time, after moving away), California (as an adult). Funny. Seems kinda circular, doesn't it?
5 bad habits:
1. Being mean to Not the Momma. I don't pay enough attention to him.
2. This blog.
3. Being a slob.
4. Cracking my knuckles
5. Reading blogs and my message board.
5 jobs I have had:
1. Dairy Queen -- Had this job through high school. Best. Job. Ever. Free ice cream. Why do I not weigh 3000 pounds? I don't know... but it was the tastiest (and most fun) job ever.
2. Hotel housekeeper -- the antithesis to job number one. Nastiest. Job. Ever. I think that Mike Rowe could easily do a whole episode on "dirtiest jobs" with this one.
3. Hotel front desk -- Yeah, that was fun while it lasted. worked during college, late hours, no waking early.
4. IT support -- Job where I was the laziest. I answered the phone and put out 'fires' because people were too stupid to know how to run their computers.
5. Preschool Teacher -- Um, this one would have been the best. job. ever. if it wasn't so stressful and if I hadn't been working there during a 'regime shift.'
(No, I am not including my current employment. No Dooce-ing going on over here!)
Um, I'm not good at the whole tagging thing.. Usually what ends up happening is I run around the yard with my arms out and then end up crying in a heap because everyone runs faster than me and I'm destined to be "it" for the rest of my life. So, Yeah, If you want to put your head on the chopping block, then go for it.
