Five Question Friday!! 10/21/11

Happy Friday! Loving this fall break we're getting...so nice having all my kiddos home (and getting to sleep in!)!

Last nights hayride? FABULOUS! So much fun, that I want to bring the Mr. and video him the entire time because he startles like a little school girl and I think it would be hilarious to see!

Okay, let's get down to business!

Welcome to Five Question Friday...THE blog hop to participate in if you like to talk about yourself (what blogger doesn't) and if your muses have run off into the sunset and eloped. Oh, yeah...and it's TONS of fun, too!

------------------------------------------------------

1. Where do you escape to when you've had enough?

You know...I don't know! There really isn't anywhere for me to escape. Sometimes, I guess I'll go to WalMart for something "essential" but I usually end up taking the Pal with.

If I'm really stressed, I just like to sleep. Basically, I'm like a newborn...if you stress me out or over stimulate me, I zonk. Pure, utter, impossible to keep my eyes open exhaustion.

So, I guess that means that sleep is my escape.

2. What shows are you watching this fall?

Nada. Wait. I take that back.

Here's what we're watching (over and over and over):

"Rio" ("Imma pop this cage open like a soda can!")

"Soul Surfer" ("I don't need easy, I just need possible.")

"Despicable Me" (Too many quotes to list..."You haf got to be pullink on my leg.")

And, that's pretty much it. So, yeah...nothing on TV, since we've got zilch for cable/satellite/channels/antenna.

3. What was the longest roadtrip you've ever taken and where did you go?

Last summer (summer of '10) we went to South Dakota...and had a BLAST. Shoulda taken us somewhere around 10ish hours to get there took us about 15.

Have you ever driven in a mini van packed to the hilt with people and all their gear hauling a pop-up camper? Fun times.

Actually, it was a great time. The ride there was totally manageable...and memorable. Like when we pulled over to let a little one pee and we got honked and waved to by another minivan passing on the overpass.

Makes me smile just thinking about it!

4. Do you plan on taking your kids to Disney World?

Yes. Well, yeah, sorta.

See, when a person has a big family, there are sacrifices one has to make...one of those is that we'll never be able to fly with ALL of our brood to FL to go to Disney. My parents started a tradition of taking our kids to Disney (and I tag along) when they are 11...that means Belle gets to go in a year!

I have a brilliant idea (I haven't told the Mr. yet.) to drive to FL next summer and camp at Fort Wilderness.

We'll see if that ever happens, but then I'll be able to answer #3 differently!

5. What is something people would surprised to know about you?

Well, most people are surprised that I have 5 kids.

I think a lot of people would be surprised to know I have a bit of a fear of the dentist. Sure, I'll give birth over and over again without a lick of meds, but when it comes to a simple cleaning and exam? I pretty much check out of life.

And, subsequently, I delay my cleanings way too long. I've got one coming up on November 1st...will you hold my hand? And whisper soothing, comforting words of encouragement to me? Then come tuck me into bed afterward, 'cuz we all know how I handle stress? (See #1, above.)

Awww, you will? You're the best!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend...remember, if you can I'd LOVE for you to vote (daily, the glitch is fixed) for my SIL to win the "Heroic Mom" contest! We're in the lead, but I know how quickly that can change, so I appreciate everyone's votes!
