Can I or Can't I?

Since I seem to be having major blogger's block, I am responding to Ashley's tag.

10 Things I CAN do:

1. Lead music in front of a group and sing relatively well.

2. Bathe a squirmy, wiggly, screaming baby.

3. Plan a party and successfully carry out the plan.


I am currently planning an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" Party.

4. Vacuum the house while holding said baby who is deathly afraid of the vacuum.

5. Corral 10 3-year-olds and have them successfully complete an art project.

6. Write a convincing essay in the proper format (opening paragraph, three paragraph body, closing paragraph).

7. Send a proper thank you note promptly.

8. Find two kids to give talks EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY for my calling as Primary secretary. ( I didn't say I enjoy it.)

9. Make an impressive dinner for guests.

10. Check and fill the oil in my car.


10 Things I CAN'T do:

1. Manage to keep the laundry folded.




My laundry room-truly a scary place.

2. Go an entire day without giving Addyson her binky (I'm trying to wean her off of it during the day).



3. Sew. I really wish I could.

4. Sit through action movies. They bore me to tears.

5. Read music.

6. Allow my eyebrows to go unplucked and groomed.

7. Make my bed on a daily basis.

8. Be rude to telemarketers.

9. Throw out old love letters from former boyfriends.

10. Play team sports.

Do any of these things surprise you?


I tag Brooke, Melissa, Holly and Liz.

Macy was afraid of the vacuum too, but she wouldn't even allow me to hold her and vacuum. I had to do it when she was sleeping.

I wish you were still around to take care of my eyebrows. I am terrible at keeping them groomed. Every time I see unsightly eyebrow hairs I think of you and how I should take care of them.

I'm so glad you did it! It was very you. I was only really surprised that you can change your oil. Your washer and dryer are beautiful. Remember back in the day when you always made your bed? It is WAY too hard these days.

Did Nikole EVER make her bed? Oh, yes, for about a year in 3rd grade! Nikole, I love your blog...even your 'lists' are fun to read!

I want your laundry room! But even if I had one as nice as yours the laundry still probably wouldn't get done. I love this post, I learned some things and read some things I already knew! (You sing much better than "fairly well" by the way ...)

Thanks for the tag fatty! You never did my tag I gave you. I will get to it because I am cooler than you... ha ha. I do have to agree with the laundry, except I think mine is much worse..
