Hi, I’m Chris. I’m a home-based medical transcriptionist and have been for 16 years. I am also desperately looking for a way out. At this point, donning a blue vest and welcoming people to Walmart sounds fun. I am mom to five amazing children:
- The 7th Grade Math Teacher, my firstborn, 24.
- Still my Favorite Longhorn, for one more year, 22.
- The College Junior, Rachel, 21.
- My youngest daughter, Kelly, 18, whose main purpose in life these days seems to be to remind everyone she isn’t like her sisters.
- Dane, 11, aka the IT guy, continues to be the best surprise ever.
Yes, that’s a lot of kids. I had #1, #2 and #4, he came with #3, and we had #5. If I had a farm, I’d sure have me some cheap labor…
Without further ado, what better way to let you get to know me than a meme:
What are your top five…
a. “Me” people, i.e. people who are all about themselves…how’s this effect me, what are you going to do for me, what about ME sorts.
b. Poor table manners
c. Driving and talking on the phone
d. Knuckle cracking
e. Channel flippers
2. … wishes and dreams?
a. To one day be financially stable.
b. Pretty little curly-haired grandbabies to spoil…one day
c. All the kids to finish college and have wonderfully successful lives.
d. I wish I could bulldoze this house and rebuild in exactly the same spot.
e. I wish the war in Iraq was over.
3. … significant life lessons?
a. You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else.
b. It’s only Money.
c. Money will not make you happy, but it might help.
d. Do not do tequila shots on an empty stomach after you’ve driven 16 hours.
e. It is far more important to be your children’s PARENT than their best friend.
4. … most cherished possessions?
a. My mom’s dishes
b. The kids’ baby pictures
c. My wedding ring
d. This old christmas decoration from when I was little. It is a church and it used to light up and it had these stained glass windows.
e. My computer. Without it I couldn’t work OR play.
5. … favorite junk food?
a. Taco Bueno Cheesecake Chimichangas ~ I hope Satan’s happy
b. Funyuns.
c. Drumsticks.
d. Jack in the Box Tacos
e. Frito pie
You must be jonesing for the Taco Bueno/Jack in the Box foods as we have none of that here. PLENTY OF CHINESE AND CRAP MEXICAN, am I right or am I right?
Thanks for coming to my blog! Its strange to read a comment from someone that lives on my street….we should chat in person someday. I’m the one yelling at the speedracers AND letting the dog poop. Multitasking.
