International Answer a Question Day

Oh, if only I had the blogger power to create such a day! As it is, it's just lonely ol' Emma answers a question day. Sigh. No power, here. Hell, I can't even get my kids to clean their rooms. Pictures coming shortly. Seriously, I am once again trying to embarass my children (okay just Taylor into cleanliness).

Anyway...


Becca says "Tell us one choice you've made that you regret and one choice you wish had turned out differently." This is a hard one for me, becuase I try not to regret anything. There are things that literally make me shudder when I think of them (why, oh why, did I ever sleep with that particular eejit?) but I do believe that everything we do is a lesson learned. Like don't sleep with total morons. I do wish that I had worked harder in high school, instead of spending so much time focusing on a boyfriend who didn't deserve it, and gone on to University. But even that I can turn around and say yes, I might have ended up with a great career making good money but I would not have had the four children that I have today and may be working fulltime instead of spending the week with my girls. So long answer short... No regrets. And the same for things working out differently. When I was 19 I was supposed to go to Ireland for a year to work but I ended up meeting my ex husband. Had I gone I probably wouldn't have married him and had Taylor and Liam. So while I will always wonder what that year would have been like, I can't really be sorry that it didn't work out.


Random Mommy asks if I sent her the Christmas ornament she just received after much bitching about not getting it. And I say, no I didn't. But I do still have her unsent Christmas card. My bad. But everyone else I had an address for got one. I think. I hope.

Lisa Marie says "boxers or briefs?" I'm assuming she means on my fella and I tell you I would laugh hysterically if I ever saw him in briefs. So it is boxers all the way for both the boys in my life.

She also asks if it was me who was supposed to be doing the book reviews and yes, it was. I should really get that going. Sigh. So untogether.

Mum of 4 asks if William and I will ever relocate to Australia. Lately he has been really pushing the benefits of Australia by pointing out to me that the housing prices are much cheaper, the weather is better (but way too hot for me!) and that there really are not that many spiders. With his permanant residency so close to being reality I don't see a move happening, though if it hadn't of we were seriously considering a move to the UK, which would have been much easier as we are both British citizens. I don't think Taylor and Liam's dad would be very fond of me taking them to either place so we're pretty much tied to Edmonton.

Alix mentioned that she liked my new blog template and was it easy to do? Yes, it was easy even for someone not tech minded like myself. I just linked on a site, picked my template and they talked me through saving my old template and downloading this one. She also asked what moments I will always remember. I'll say the old standard answer of the birth of the 4 children and the first time I ever saw William. Another thing I will never forget is going home for lunch one day in the fifth grade and looking out the window to see all the kids from both Grade 5 kids circling my house in a threatening manner! It is amazing the power one child could have in turning an entire grade against you. I had to get my neighbour to walk me back to school.

I'll have to finish the remaining questions later, too many demands at the moment and a sink full of unwashed dishes!
