Emily at A life less ordinary tagged me for a recent meme. I’m honored because, while hers is a favorite of mine, I didn’t know she knew I existed read mine. This is good timing for me because I’m feeling tapped out right now and I’m not sure I could muster up the necessary energy to put together a thoughtful post. Also, I think Rooster Calls tagged me as well but somehow it left my brain the minute I finished reading my name.

Five things found in your bag:

This is embarrassing. I don’t carry much in my purse, which is actually a diaper bag. When I don’t have the kids with me I carry just my wallet because I don’t have a purse I like anymore. Someday… but even then I won’t carry much in it. But here is what’s inside at this writing.

1. Change of clothes for Chee
2. Wipes
3. Diaper for Ess
4. Assorted gum wrappers
5. OT progress report

Five favorite things found in your room:

Again, embarrassing. We moved nearly a year ago and I’ve never gotten around to getting my room together. Really sad. Someday. Bedrooms are on the bottom of the priority list, and the girls rooms come before ours. Honestly, I can’t name five favorite things in my room as I just don’t spend a lot of time there outside of sleeping. I can tell you five things that are IN my room though, some of them treasured even.

1. A trunk full of all my old journals. I was a faithful journal writer from 13 till about 31. I drifted away from it about a year or so after getting married. Not sure why. It’s entertaining to read the past ones.
2. A stack of parenting books with The No-Cry Potty Training Solution at the top of the heap.
3. A picture of Chee and my grandmother.
4. A picture of Chee when she was an infant.
5. My cat. (He’s pretty much there all the time.)

Five things you have always wanted to do:

1. Visit Australia
2. Own my own (larger than I already own) business
3. Have a rockin’ hot body that I got as a reward for being a workout goddess
4. Be a philanthropist
5. Win an Academy Award

Five things you are currently into:

1. Melissa & Doug (we’re about to start selling them in our store)
2. Vitamin Water
3. Weed Eating (I just bought a new Weed Eater/Edger combo deal for our shaggy, scraggly yard)
4. Mulch
5. Researching selling special needs ‘toys’ in our store

Five people you’d like to tag:

I think perhaps I have tagged some of these friends before but, hey, what can I say, my circle is not that big.

1. Of course my dear friend BeThisWay
2. Lisa at Ramblings of a Pseudointellectual
3. Learningwoman
4. asdmommy at What We Need
5. and, last but not least, my friend Ruth, who may not want her blog linked just yet, but she knows who she is.
