1. I was a witch on Halloween and I thought it was so fun because I had the creepy nails and everything.
2. Nursing in public would be mine too. Or don't judge someone with kids. For example, ds was colicky for the first few months and would cry for hours sometimes. People didn't understand why I couldn't just stick my boob in his mouth to get him to stop. Needless to say I had to explain to a lot of friends and family what was going on and opted to stay at home more. Oh, last one...women should understand other women. Like don't say stupid things when as a women you should know and understand what I'm going through. Ok, ok I'm done

1.) A pack of juicy fruit gum or a butterfly. My Uncle always made his kids costumes from cardboard and they always got passed on. They were always elaborate and so well done, hand painted etc. The pack of juickfruit was self explanatory but lieterally went all the way over the head with a piece that stuck out. HAHAHA! Totally awkward to move around in FYI. THe butterfly had little strings you put your fingers through so you could move the wings back and forth - the year I wore it, it POURED and I was so upset because all the paint ran
2.) What hasn't my opinion changed on?? For starters, disciplining children when they are rude or hurtful to other kids. I will NOT stand for that and if my DD ever acts like that she will be in a boat load of trouble for it.
3.) TV, Fireplace and fan
4.) J = my first initial, B = DH's first initial, Damon = our cat (who has sinced passed on) M = last initial
5.) Thanksgiving all the way!
6.) Spin the bottle - summer after 6th grade.
