Tag! You're It!

A couple weeks I was tagged by Torie at Life with Rylie to play a little game. I'm supposed to answer her questions, and then tag five more people and give them questions to answer. Fun!

Here are the questions Torie asked me...

1. What does a normal day look like for you?

I don't even know what "normal" is anymore. When you have two toddlers, there is always at least one surprise each day. :-) Most days around here look pretty crazy, that's for sure.

During the week Brian and I get up and get ready, then we get the kids up and get them dressed, teeth brushed, hair brushed, backpacks loaded and we're out the door around 7. Geez, that already sounds exhausting, right? I drop the kids off at school and head to work. I leave work around 5:30, go pick the kids up and usually Brian has dinner ready when we get home. Yes, he is awesome, I know. After dinner we usually play outside until around 7 and then it is bath, brush teeth, read a story or two and then bed time for the little ones. Once the kids are in bed I usually blog for a bit, and/or we watch some TV. I try to get in bed by 11, but that doesn't always happen.

Since, as you can see, we don't get much time with the kids during the week, the weekends are all about them. Rylie now has soccer on Saturday mornings, so those mornings are usually as nutty as the week day mornings. After soccer, though, they are usually more relaxed. Unless we have a birthday party or some other plans, we hang around the house a lot playing (inside and outside) and swimming. It has been a really fun summer!

2. If you could have any career, what would it be (other than staying home with kiddos)?

I have to say that I actually like what I do. I'm an accountant. No, I don't do taxes or auditing. I just do corporate accounting and for the most part I enjoy it. But I guess if I could do anything I wanted, I would open a doggy daycare. What could be more fun than playing with dogs all day?

3. What is your favorite type of music, if any?

I like pop, country, hip-hop and some rap. I like music from the 70s and later. The CDs I used to make are a mixture of everything. I jump around different stations on Sirius when I'm in the car, but other than that, I don't really listen to music all that much.

4. What is the best compliment you have ever received?

I love hearing good things about my kids, especially when someone tells me I am a good mother. I take pride in my children and being their mother and I love when someone else recognizes that.

I'm going to tag these 5 awesome ladies...

Dawn @ Born From My Heart

Wee Mason's Mom @ Adventures of Wee Mason Man

Amanda @ Alligator Lane

Michelle @ Flying Giggles & Lollipops

Nikki @ Mommy Oblongata

And now for the hard part. I am horrible at making up questions like this. So I have a confession to make...I cheated. I looked up random questions online. Here goes...

1. What is your most embarrassing moment?

2. What do you do for fun?

3. If you were an animal, which would you be, and why?

4. If you could know one thing about the future, what would it be?

Have fun!
