I LOVE rain, but only because we don't get it often enough~~

Hey, let's ask some questions again; that was fun!!!!

Hi, CoolMom6

How are you?

What qualities do you seek most in friends?

How is your back doing these days?

Did you get some good sleep last night?

Have you made any more plans, hopes, or dreams to leave Las Vegas? Do you believe it's God's plan for you to be there?

How is married life?

Congratulations!

Hey, sorry I just now saw this!!!

I am fine these days, my friend. Very little depression now, feeling loved, feeling useful most days, and just feeling blessed.

My friends;
Number one they have to be genuine. I don't care too much what they do for a living, or if they are introverted or outgoing, or if they have tons of friends, or I'm their only one, but they do have to be real with me and with God. I do have long-time friends who are not Christians, but they don't fake that they are either. Nothing I can stand more than pretend Christians.

I do desire to have more true Christ-followers in my life, but we are all human and have to take turns lifting each other up, and not keeping tabs about it, either.

My back is a mess; lol. But since we moved into this home with NO carpet, only handmade tile (uneven), it makes it hard to find a place to do my floor exercises and stretches, but hubby got me a mat, so I just got started again after over a month of none....so pain initially, but exercise keeps me limber, very important.

I sleep incredibly well now, next to Joe. He is very comfy to be with, doesn't snore, and is cuddly with me and even with my girls if they climb inbetween us. I finally feel loved and safe for the first time in my life.

I TRIED to leave, as you know, I almost got married to G from Indiana. Poor guy; lol.

But, I am happy now. We live in a good neighborhood, the school my dd goes to is excellent. The boys come and go, but they love it here on the weekends. My hubby is 5 mins. from work.
Yes, it is going to get steaming, stinking, boiling, baking HOT in the summers, as usual, but right now, it's highs of 60-70 degrees F. and very nice, so I'm happy
Yes, I believe it's God's plan for me and Joe to raise these 6 kids, and love them and each other the best we can.

Married life is better than I've ever experienced it~~
He is the absolute most wonderful man and partner I could have ever found, and GOD found him for me!!!!
After years of hurt, pain, rejection, abuse, and lonliness, God brought this man who had gone thru the same, and we are healing and loving each other thru Christ.

Thanks for the good wishes~~~
Now, where's your thread?? LOL

*** looks for emoticon with evil grin ... CoolMom is facing the board.... ooooh yeah! ***
You snuck up on me!!!

What is the one thing that you loved deeply as a little girl?
Um, maybe my dog(s)? I had a chihuahua mix male, who died when I was in first grade and then we got an abandoned mutt terrier mix female who lived to a ripe old age.


What was your biggest wish when you were 13?
To have my dad back. Which came true, later, when I was 17. I think though, I was wanting a boyfriend really badly too, and that happened pretty quickly.

If there was just one thing, one piece of advice you could give to your kids, what would it be in 10 words?
Know that you are loved no matter what by God.
(And me, but that's too many words)

What is the on dream you may have had throughout your life that recurs from time to time?
The only dreams I have are nightmares, and they vary.


When last did you give yourself a candlelit bath with foam and soapies?
A couple of months ago, but I have been thinking about it lately; darn, except the only tub here is the kids' tub; lol!!

love getting all this info !!

(Surrrrreee...lol, you are good at this too; lol)
but wait, I have more ...


- what was the one thing you wanted to do when you grew up?

I think probably an artist, and I never really made much money at my craft, so I did not fulfill that yet.

- tell us about the one photo that when you look back you laugh at just cos of your hairdo or the fashion or your facial expression in the photo?

Oh, most definitely all my school photos in elementary and middle school, mostly because I looked like a boy in elementary grades, and I was a geek trying to be cool in jr. high.

- when you were a teen who was the one movie star you were convinced you had to marry or you would not live?

Donny Osmond, of course!!!

- when you met your hubby, did your palms sweat, your heart skip a beat, feel like a teen again?

Oh YEAH, ALL of the above!!!! And I still do~~

- what do you consider is your laziest moment?

Every morning; lol.

You are SOOOOOO right, Nobella, Ms. TB is a dear, loyal friend and she is so busy right now, if we could all remember to keep her and her family in prayer.
Thanks, sis!!!

grammybear said:

OK, CM, Here's another one.....What is your favorite piece of clothing, and why?

Click to expand...

You know, if I could think of questions that weren't lame, I would ask them too; lol.

I don't really have one fave thing.
Maybe just my tennies. You find me wearing them 6 days out of the week. Sketchers; pink and blue. LOL!!

grammybear said:

lol! Yeah, that's why I don't ask many. I had one, somewhere along the way. It's been buried for ages!! I guess no one wants to ask me questions!

aww....
I loved chatting with you the other day btw.

grammybear said:

Me too!! I need to turn it on more often!

Do you like to wear dresses to church, or would you rather wear slacks?

Click to expand...

It's a toss-up.

I wear nice slacks or my good jeans and a sweater in the winter, because even with hose, my legs get too cold. I love to wear skirts or dresses when the weather gets warm. But, one thing I always do is dress for any special holiday or event.

Good question BTW.
