In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Personal Policies Meme

Filed under: Just for Fun — Rachel at 10:30 am on Thursday, June 7, 2007

Alycia tagged me for the personal policies meme. I have to confess, I am very excited, as this is the first time I’ve been tagged for one of these things. I’m a dork. Yes, I know. What can ya do?

1. No one is this house is allowed to say “I hate you”, “I don’t like you”, “I’ll kill you”, or any other hateful things kids like to say to each other when they are mad. It will get you in more trouble than just about anything else you could do. Not only will you most likely be spanked, sent to your room, and sternly lectured…but you will also have to hug and kiss each other and tell each other how much you love one another. Needless to say, those things are rarely said.

2. I never pass up an opportunity to do someting fun to do housework. Ever.

3. I rarely stay home because I have no one to help me with the kids. I’ve always taken them with me…even when there are three of them…to buy groceries or whatever when I had them by myself, and I guess they’ve learned how to act, because they’re usually pretty good.

4. I shave my legs every day. Every single day. Unless I am sick and can’t get off the couch. Even when I’m insanely, hugely pregnant. Because to not do so is gross.

5. Now that I have kids, I no longer do some things that I did before, such as ride fourwheelers, dirtbikes, etc, jump off of waterfalls, or drive too fast. Because I can’t stand the idea of some other woman raising my kids.

6. Everyone must wear their seatbelt when they ride with me. No exceptions. No one under twelve is allowed to ride in my front seat.

7. I never turn down free food cooked by someone else.

8. I never skip ahead in a book to see what’s going to happen. I can’t stand when people tell me they do that. I think they’re missing the point.

Ah…let’s see. Who shall I tag?

Sara, Laura, Jenn, Joy, and Heather… I choose you. If you’ve already got this meme, tag someone else instead. After you finish, tag five more people, and let them know in their comments that they’ve been tagged. Have fun! (I hope you guys are more interesting than me.)
