Survey from Betty

Ok tagged by Betty….

What I was doing 10 years ago.

My daughter was in grade school so I was up to my eyeballs in PTA, and fundraising. I was volunteering to help with everything. I wanted to be the best hands on mom. My daughter has since told me thank you for all of this. It is worth the aggravation to hear the thanks!

What I was doing 5 years ago.

I was in the process of moving! I had just bought a new house out in the country. I was packing up and pulling my hair out over all the pain in the ass stuff that comes with buying a house. I was also putting my daughter back into public school after 3 years of home-schooling. Watching her grow and trying to seeing if I had handled her education well. We did great BTW. She went into all the honors classes and went on the get a full ride to college. (forgive a mother’s pride)

What I was doing 1 year ago.

I had just found out that my Daddy had prostate cancer. I was about a week away from finding out he also had lung cancer and would have to have a lung removed. This time a year ago was the beginning of one of the hardest parts of my life so far.

5 things I would do with 100 million dollars.

I would make a grant to El Sauzal orphanage in Mexico for their needs.

I would make a company of some sort that would hire battered women that were trying to get back on their feet. It would include education, and child care.

I would give to an organization that works toward a cure for diabetes … both types.

I would anonymously give to people who I knew needed a hand up, such as following a fire or loss of work. I know this is on a small scale but sometime you just have to work one on one.

I would try to find away to fund prescriptions for people locally who cannot afford them, and who have no insurance.

This all seem small scale and they are… I just think that there is too much red tape in getting anything done through a large organization.

Now I did the serious take on this, now the smart comments I bit back on this question lol

I would buy the government a clue.
I would find a nice institution with padded walls for my mom.
I would make a job for cricket that allowed him to stay home and play all day.
I would buy the Yankees pacifiers.
I would buy the Red Sox some pitching!
