GETTING TO KNOW YOU FOR THURSDAY!!!!
1. If God had let (or lets) you have as many as you want, how many children would you have? And do you have them named already?
- allright, I gotta go along with Dawn here... I know, might as well spank us both for how we feel about kids. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my kids more than anything but I was the youngest of all cousins, so I never had baby cousins or nothing around, I grew up pretty much a single child with my siblings being so much older, so I never had little babies around to paly with and that way I never got to "like" them. The day I brought the oldest home from the hospital I was like hmmmm.. now what LOL
Anyways, I didn't set out to have any of the three, they just happened and I 'm glad I have them. My life would not be the same without these wonderful little blessings, BUT I don't plan on having any more ( no way!! ) nor would I have ever thought I'd end up with three.
2. What kind of student were you?
- ohh I was the kinda student that never opened a book or studied, and still squeaked by passing all my tests and finished with actually decent grades. As long as I paid attention in class, I could do what it took to pass. Never did homework, was too busy playing with the boys Funny how we crack down on our kids though. Both me and hubby share that "studenthistory" , he did exactly the same thing, and we are SO strict on the kids, we don't let them get away with not studying and we're totally wanting them to have it better than we have. The two oldest are both A and AB honor roll students (11th and 7th graders ) and both enrolled in the gifted and talented courses, the little one, we know she's got what it takes she's just so busy and talkative and has such a mind of her own. Fascinating
3. Who, that you have lost along the way - either to death or distance- do you miss the most?
Well, I miss my dad who passed away 27 yrs ago. To this day I really don't handle Sept 13th very well, the day he died. I regret being the only kid who didn't have him till I became an adult, and it leaves so many questions open that I would have had for him, that no one can answer.
On the distance thing... I miss my Dawnie *sniff * My bestest buddy in the world who truly understands me *sniff*
4. Who is the oldest person you know?
Used to be my grandpa, he died when he was 92.. living.. hmm... hubby's Grandparents , they are 89
5. Who would you most like to be like? (Jesus is a given for most of us....so come up with someone else...)
I don't want to be like anyone else. I like being myself. I don't have to please anyone BUT myself and I make my own mistakes and can admit to them, without feeling guilty about it or being compared to anyone.
6. Who is the most beautiful or handsome person in the world to you?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that would be my hubby.. to me he's the best looking man alive........ other than Owen Wilson, but he's never gonna even know who I am so why bother LOL If I could LOOK like someone , because I think they're beautiful... since I'm a girl.. I think Julia Roberts, she's totally gorgeous.
EXCELLENT QUESTIONS!!!
1. I have always wanted 2. God blessed me with a boy named Aiden Caine. I don't have any other names picked out. I stopped wishing and hoping after so many miscarriages and health issues.
2. I was a good student high school and college. I could have been better if I would have tried. I did just enough to make at least a B.
3. My dad...he died when I was 6 yrs old from massive heart attack ten days before christmas. I was with him when it happened.
4. I had a patient when I worked home health, he was 113 yrs old. He died a few weeks ago. After that it would be another patient of mine that is 105 yrs old.
5. I would like to be more like my friend Beth. She is so funny and makes friends so easily. She is out going and doesn't give a hoot what anyone thinks. She likes to hunt, fish, golf and anything outdoors. But yet, she can throw a party that would make any Southern Belle proud. She's truly universal.
6. The most beautiful/handsome person that I know personally would be...my friend JeriLynn. The most beautiful/handsome person that leaves my tongue hanging out everytime I see him is Josh Groban. He could sing Old McDonald and I would get weak. My husband always kids that our marriage is safe as long as Josh Groban stays out of the picture
1. Lots more--have four now and would have at least 2 more if I would have been thin then. I have had a tubal so no such luck now. I have baby fever constantly. Weird huh at 39!!! At my past weight I had a hard time keeping up with things and boy was it hard running after babies. I had perfect pregnancies though.
2.I had severe depression and cried constantly. I had bad grades and even failed alot in tenth grade--just shut down. I did great at Junior college and even better at USM all A and B's. I enjoyed college.
3.My mom's mom. Granny Clark. She was my special friend.
4. A lady at church is 90.
5. I look up to "fit people" now since surgery. I want to work toward being more athletic. Dont laugh!! Since surgery I give more to others like taking food to my elder freinds and visiting sick people. I have been entertaining more in my home getting the youth and my age together. I am striving toward being able to be more active in all ways. I don't think I answered the question.lol
6. First of all I think my Jill is the most beautiful little girl on the universe. She is my heart and I adore her. My Jen is absolutely gorgeous--my jamie is the handsome hunk of Poplarville and Jeremy is my little trouper. 10 and boy does he like the gelled hair!!
My Dh still turns my wheel and he is hot to trot!!! What more can I say. Oh he is just as hot as Jim!!!There--now you know how hot he is Arlies!!
Jane
1. I would have had 3.
I have my girl named Katie Alexandra.
Boy- Jarrett after Jarrett's Bay, where my Daddy was raised.
Girl- Lillie after my Daddys Mother.
2. A Good student- Grade wise.
But I sure loved to skip school.
Got into several fights, etc.
Those were some of the best days of my childhood!!!
3. My Poppa Piner- (Daddy's Father)
He died when I was around 7. He lived in Smyrna NC & we lived in MS. So I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked to. It was hard back then to get to know someone when they were 875 miles away.
I also would have loved to have known Momma Piner- (Daddy's Mother).
I was born in Dec. 1967 & she died in April 1968. I was gipped. Big Time. That bothers me to the point that I have issues with it.
4. Alive- I guess it would be my Daddy he is 81. Till Sept. that is
Dead- My Great Grand Father on my Momma's side- He was 102 when he died. I knew him very well. He lived with us when he was unable to take care of himself. He was a Blessing from God to have living with us. Not too many people get to help take care of their family members.
5. My Parents & Grand Mother-
They taught me to take care of my family first & everything else will work out just fine. If it doesn't, well that's OK too. At least the family is taken care of.
6. Alex is the most beautiful young lady that I have ever seen.
Movie stars don't have crap on her. Which I know, I'm Momma.
But it is true, even a blind person could see it.
Most Handsome- My Hubby Johnny. Brad Pitt can give it up!!!
Of course I am prejudiced when it comes to my family!!!
1. If God had let (or lets) you have as many as you want, how many children would you have? And do you have them named already?
I ALWAYS SAID I WANTED A BOY AND A GIRL - GOT TWO BOYS INSTEAD... POOR DANNY HAD NO SAY IN WHAT I NAMED MY FIRST CHILD, I HAD HIS NAME PICKED OUT 6 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS EVEN IN THE PICTURE. I HAD A COUSIN THAT WAS KILLED IN A CAR WRECK WHEN HE WAS 16 AND HIS NAME WAS JOSH. MY GRANDFATHER DIED WHEN I WAS A BABY SO I TOOK HIS MIDDLE NAME OF LAMAR AND NAMED MY FIRST CHILD JOSHUA LAMAR. MY SECOND CHILD WAS BORN 5 YEARS AFTER MY MOM DIED, SO I PRAYED THIS BABY WOULD BE A GIRL AND I WAS GOING TO NAME HER BRENDA JO AFTER MY MOM. SINCE IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BABY BOY, WE NAMED HIM BRENDAN JOE INSTEAD!
2. What kind of student were you?
BAD - I HATED EVERY MOMENT OF SCHOOL... IT WAS A VERY HARD TIME FOR ME BECAUSE I WAS PICKED ON SO BAD!
3. Who, that you have lost along the way - either to death or distance- do you miss the most?
MOST DEFINITELY MY MOMMA! SHE WAS ONLY 46 WHEN SHE DIED AND I JUST NEVER HAVE FULLY COPED WITH LOSING HER... I MISS HER SO VERY MUCH, SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!
4. Who is the oldest person you know?

I had to be good academics because my daddy was the principal and a single parent. He had to work all extra-curricular activites. I decided if I have to be at the school, I might as well participate.
