Tag! Motherhood

This tag was by Shutterbug waaaaay back in November...Now I'm finally getting to it! Whew!

1. How long have you been a MOTHER? 9 1/2 yrs
2. How many kids call you mommy? Four
3. When you were pregnant did you know what you were having? Yes, on all except the last. We wanted to be surprised with that one, and SURPRISE! It was another girl!
4. How old were you when you became a mom? 22
5. How long were you in labor? 12 hours for Sabryna, 6 for Mychigan, 3 for Daisy, and Ryver was a emergency C-section, but I was in labor for about 2 hours before that.
6. What's your favorite thing about being a mom? Unsolicited loves, seeing them learn something new and like it, watching them be sweet and nice to others, the funny things they say, watching them be so excited about something, watching them sleep, knowing they are mine.
7. What's your least favorite thing? When they don’t listen to me, and then getting mad. And when they fight.
8. Do you want more kids? Yes, one or two. Maybe we will get a boy eventually! (But to be honest, I really like having all girls!)
9. Have you ever taken your kid(s) on a trip? Yes, to Disneyland in 2006 and we are planning a family trip this summer.
10. How many times have you been peed on? Not too often, I have girls remember. (though they do pee on you sometimes.)
11. How many times have you been barfed on? Not too many, but more than enough for me!
12. Are your kids named after someone? Their first names are names that Dell and I both love and their middle names are after someone in either his or my family.
13. When is the last time you had a sitter; What did you do? We went out to dinner together. A date. :)
14. When your kid gets in trouble, who is the bad guy? Mostly me. But if they make Dell mad, he can be the bad guy.
15. What is the longest you have been away from your kid(s)? Ten days. When we went to Hawaii in '05.
16. Are your toes painted? Yes
17. Last movie you saw in theater? Transformers
18. One thing you will not give up just because you're a mom: Reading
19. One thing you did give up now that you're a mom? Lots of me time.
20. Favorite Cartoon: Rugrats, and I watch a lot of Barbie movies with my girls and I actually enjoy them.
21. Favorite Snack: Chocolate. And if I'm feeling sinful, a caffeine free pepsi.
22. When the kid(s) are napping, you are: Reading, watching a DVR'ed show, Blogging, ...etc...
23. Where is/are your kid(s) now? School, and bedrooms...Ryver is trying to nap...
24. If I could do it over, I'd do this differently: Not get so bugged over unimportant things. Not lost my temper so much.

Now it's your turn!

What a fun meme!! I secretly like most of the Barbie movies too. I know all the songs from the Princess and the Pauper and sing them WAY more often than I care to admit!!

I totally agree with the part about the kids fighting and ME not losing my temper. That was good, though.
