One, two, three, four…FIVE!

NS March 11th, 2008

*Note: For some reason I can’t access the visual editor toolbar in my post manager and while I await finding a solution to this problem, I can’t post links. Yes, I know I could just manually enter the html tags but I’m way too lazy for that. So apologies to anyone I mention but don’t link to.

Becky at Musings From The Sofa tagged me for this meme and since I’m in the midst of Pukeapalooza 2008 with TNC (poor thing), this will be a nice filler until things get back to normal.

The rules are:

1. List five things you do for yourself
2. List five things you do for your closest friend, partner or child
3. List five things you have done for a stranger
4. Have fun
5. Tag five people

Five things I do for myself:

1. Take long baths with a book on Sundays
2. Go for coffees or to the movies alone
3. Get my eyebrows waxed so I don’t have to pluck
4. Have lunches and dinners with friends that TNH and I don’t share
5. Blog

Five things I do for my child:

1. Let her hug me even when she is covered in vomit
2. Clean up her vomit
3. Let her fall asleep on my chest even when it’s mightily uncomfortable
4. Make sure she has both Leroy (her stuffed giraffe) and Teddy in her cot at bedtime
5. Cuddle and kiss her numerous times every day. Heck, nearly every hour!

Five things I have done for a stranger:

1. Handed them a wrapped Christmas present without a word
2. Let them be the last person to squeeze on the train while I wait for the next one
3. Asked if they were okay if they looked upset or scared
4. Given them my travel card after I was finished with it
5. Given blood

I tag: Jen’s Den, Momma Love, Verisimilitude, Nicole in London and Siobhan at Real Motherhood.
