Yep jumpin on the ABC bandwagon
A is for age- 3 years from 50 Yikes!!!When did that happen?I think I missed a few years can I have a do over?
B is for Bed-well the main room has a queen but since hubby snores so bad ( I mean real bad people) I sleep wherever there is a spare place which will be either a single bed (if a child is away or the lounge which is quite comfy thanks) Dont feel bad hubby has his op soon so no more snoring and I will be queen bedded again.
C is for Chore I hate-All!I hate housekeeping do it under duress and coz I dont want to be totally filthy but how boring it is I wish I was a bit more OCD about it.
D is for Dogs -dont have a dog but would if hubby would let me.Gave my last beautiful dog away before we moved in late 09 her name was Daisy she was a labrador.Her boyf. was Charlie I didnt want to seperate them so they were packed off together.I still miss her. Funny how I love dogs seeing as I was attacked by 2 dogs when I was 19 (one bite on leg one on the butt) and still didnt scare me off them.
E is for Essential start for the day- making myself wake up knowing I have to deal with fighting kids usually.
.
F is for favourite colour-Green of course but purple, scarlett and turquoise are gorgeous and I would love an orange car just like this one but in orange or green or scarlett or turquoise... I just want this car!!!
G is for Gold or silver- mostly gold (seeing as the engagment ring I got from hubby was gold and was his great grans) but now wear both due to silver gifts.
H is for- Height 5"5/6 I think (I always forget its the numbers thing I have a block with.)

J is for Job title- Executive manager of domestic duties.Problem solver juror,nurse,teacher,crafter, oh and Vintage collector and opshopping queen (in my world anyway)
K is for kids- 4 of my own 27,23,21,16 and the grandies 10,8,6,5,2,and a 6 month old.I wanted 12 of my own and am nearly there since I am bringing up 5 grandies lol.(moral of story be careful what you wish for and be specific when wishing)
L is for Live -and let live!! Treat others with respect,mind your own business and dont say things unless your 100% sure coz gossip sux and can hurt others!!
M is for mums name-Dulcie (now thats a vintage name isnt it?)

P is for pet peeves- Are you ready???? Rude people!!!!!! Hate rudeness and unfriendlines and people that think they are better than you!!!!.Obnoxiousnous!!Rascism dont get me started! Litter bugs for crying out loud theres a bin right there and if theres not wait till you find one you lazy pigs!!Oh wait thats rude to pigs.Baseball caps worn in places where there is no baseball.Not being able to tell the differenece between some men and woman coz they wear unisex clothes.Too tight clothing ie tights and tshirts on woman that are more well endowed and people that show undies to one and all pull your pants up please!! Ok peeved out I think. -edited to say people ( I mean family here) who dont change the toilet roll when there is none or a tidbit left GROWL!!!!!!!

Oh my God Nelly that "Give me a do over" picture had me giggling!
Your Mom looks fabulous in her picture with the feathers, pearls & hair flower.
(I wore a flower Today, a daisy.)
My God it sounds like you have had your share of overnights at the hospital... *EEEK*
Yay for being nosy! That first pic is hilarious and I like the one of your mum.
That's sad about your dogs hopefully one day you will get another.
