And the answers AAAARE:
1. I got married on my 20th birthday.
FALSE!
I got married one month before my 22nd birthday. My newest friend Debbie is the winner on this one.... Actually Ginger guessed it right too... way to go girls!!
2.I have 4 children.
TRUE
I have 4 girls. Ages 9, 12, 131/2, and 15!!!
3. I rode my horse in the house when I was a kid.
TRUE. Sorry Terri-- Believe it or not... I did... I rode her through the house, in the front door and out the back! I was about 9 or 10... mom had gone to town to grocery shop and when the cat's away the mice will play!!! The floors were hardwood and no she didn't make a mess... yes Peter she was a pony, a Welsh pony.. very nice little horse.
4. I've had a job where I lit fires in the forest.
TRUE... Had great fun especially since I'm a total firebug!!! What more could one ask for.. getting paid to light fires!?! Except that we were slugging thru wet and cold, deep snow and trying to light wet wood piles!!!

TRUE. Sorry Leigh Ann.... yes I have 5 brothers.... and man what a great childhood... boys were alot of fun to grow up with! lots of adventure!!

TRUE... Okay... I caused some confusion with this one...Leigh Ann hit the nail on the head in her comment. I AM a SAHM but I do take jobs here and there, especially the last 3 or so months!

9. My oldest daughter is 15.
TRUE. Yes this makes this Momma feel really old!! How could I possibly have a 15 yr old girl?!?! But I'm looking forward to doing some fun stuff with her this summer! (The other kids too... it's just that the older two are getting older now and are getting to be more friends than kids....I have to say tho that i enjoy all the ages they go thru!.. just love our girls!)

Really enjoyed the outcome and of your responses to the questions.
A wonderful posting.
That was fun Heather!! I had a feeling you rode your horse through the house - it was just one of those things that seemed too crazy to make up!!! hee hee
You did great on this! I don't think I could think of enough things that were true but write so people thought maybe not true...does that make any sense?
I used to do things like that when my parents were away that they would kill me if they only knew at the time!!
My heart goes out to you working on that pool. Having a good pool cover for the winter can make you love or hate your pool come summertime. Hope you get it ready for swimtime soon. I'm NOT enjoying mine so much as you could tell by my post. I good solar cover is worth it's weight in gold for places where we still have cool nights. Obviously our solar cover is shot. I think it's time to invest in a new one or move!
These were fun to read!!
I'm the only girl, too, but I didn't have the same good attitude about it!! I wanted someone to play Barbies with, I did not want to do what the boys were doing!! =) But having lots of brothers is really nice now that we are older!! =)
What fun little tib-bits!
My question would be... what was your mother's reaction when she found out that you rode the pony in the house while she was gone?? I think my Mom would have flipped out!
We always kid my brother b/c he used to LOVE playing with fire when he was younger... now... he's a fireman! and he loves it!
Have a great Thursday!
yes Ginger... you're right about the pool!! An ounce of prevention.... (o:
Kitty my Mom was really conscious of the boy/girl thing growing up and made a big effort to blend us together... I used to play house with my youngest bro...he was my baby! ha!
Jennifer I don't think we told our Mom about the horse in the house for a LONG time... and knowing her should would have not really said much...She didn't get overly excited about things like that..(not that she wanted us doing that!!) Now if she had pooped in the house I think she may have reacted differently!! Come to think of it... I think a neighbour told my mom about the pony in the house... they used to watch our house with binoculars!! lol.. we were their entertainment! And to everyone else---thanks for playing along!!
:o)
Well, I'll be! ;)
Very cool little game.
We have one of those above ground pools that you take down every year (a total pain,by the way). We're trying to find a way to heat it because unless it's 25C or higher, it's too darn cold to get in there. The problem with a solar heater is that you still need a warm sunny day for it work! We're looking into a wood burning stove pool heater.
brrr... with our in ground pool the solar cover seems to keep it warm... we don't use the heater on it.. way too expensive.. it's gas it takes about $300 to bring it up to temperature
This was so much fun to read and learn more about you.
I wish we had a pool.
