I got this from another blog and thought I'd give it a try.
1.) What I was doing ten years ago: I had an 18 month old daughter and was about 4.5 months pregnant with my second daughter. We lived in Tucson, AZ and we were fresh out of college (Laren had graduated from BYU the previous April and we moved to Arizona that May, Phoenix, and then to Tucson in June.) That was also where I had my first bout with kidney stones, camping at Mt. Lemmon.
2.) Five years ago: We had just moved to the greater Denver, CO area where Laren had taken a new job. By this time I had 4 kids, 2 girls (6 and 4), a boy (2) and a 3 month old baby girl.
3.) One year ago: We had our house for sale and were hoping so badly it would just SELL! We had our 5 kids then ages 10, 8, 6, 4, and 1. Laren was still working at the same job that hired him when we moved to Colorado.
4.) Yesterday: September 13, 2007: Actually I had a CrAZy day yesterday. My oldest daughter, Kayla (11), was hit by a car backing up in the parking lot at school going in. I was with the kids as it was "my day" to go in and help in their classes. It was very traumatic, but with a good outcome. We went into the nurses office at the school, the school filed a police report, I took her to the doctor she is fine but not without some bumps and bruise and such. We feel HUGELY blessed that is ALL that it was! Also, I was running my girls to piano lessons, Alyssa to Cheerleading practice and going to a baby shower and one of my sweet friends brought us dinner.
5.) 5 snacks I enjoy: Lowfat Kettle corn, the Weight Watchers Fudge Bars, grape tomatoes (they are my NEW favorite snack), grapes and nectarines.
6.) 5 Things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million: Pay off our house, Buy 2 new cars, save/invest a bundle, travel with the whole family, donate to charity of some sort.
7.) 5 locations I would like to run away to: Hawaii, Europe, South America - Argentina, where Laren served his mission, Hong Kong, The Bahamas.
8.) 5 bad habits I have: Chewing my nails, swallowing my gum, going to bed too late, spending too much time on the computer, yelling at my kids.
9.) 5 things I like doing: Being with my family, making cards, dates with Laren, computer, and shopping within certain parameters because too much shopping also gets old.
10.) 5 TV shows I like: Oprah, Today Show, that is all the TV I watch if that.
11.) 5 things I hate doing: Laundry, paying bills, cleaning bathrooms, picking up my kids' backpacks and shoes after school, vacuuming my car out.
12.) 5 Biggest joys of the moment: Kayla is okay, Today is calm, it's FRIDAY!, Alyssa's Cheerleading performance tonight, our kitchen cabinets have been ordered for 2 weeks now and will be in soon!
I'm tagging Jenny, Cristin, Krista, Kelly and Denise.

Wha? So glad Kayla is OK!
It's amazing how much happens in life in only 10 years, you went from 1 child to 5!!
I am glad your daughter is okay, I bet that was pretty scary for her.
Great list! I really could pretty much copy a lot of yours but I will give it a try!
Very scary about your daughter. I'm glad she's o.k.
I'm impressed by what you like to snack on. It's all so dang good for you!
