Five Years - Five Things

Carrie at Mommy Brain pegged me for this meme. I am supposed to pick five people, but most of the people that I know that come here have already done this. So if you would like to do it go ahead and let me know so I can run by for a visit.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
1995. I was in my senior year of college at NCSU. Taking those easy senior electives and trying to figure out what I actually wanted to do with my majors in psychology and sociology. Not-yet-DH and I had been dating about a year, both of us were taking it very slowly and not real discussion of the future had been made.

What were you doing 5 years ago?
2000. I was 26 and a SAHM with MB who was about 9 months old. I was bored out of my mind and wondering what I was suppose to do with this little, already independent, strong-minded creature that we had been given to raise. I was beginning to look for full-time work to go back to.

What were you doing one year ago?
2004. I was 30, six months pregnant with little EM. I had just quit my job the year before and was still trying to get settled in with being a SAHM again. I was researching and reading everything I could get my hands on about homeschooling and was trying my hand at homeschooling the MB (Kindergarten) and K.

What were you doing yesterday?
Wednesday. Morning homeschooling. Afternoon I took MB and K to their grandparents so that I could take EM in for her 9 month check-up. She is great, thanks for asking.

None – I am absolutely horrible with songs. I can and will murder in and all lyrics. I even make up my own to children’s songs.
