If you had one piece of advice to give to a teenager, what would it be?
High school lasts a short time. Just a blink of an eye. So don't sweat every tiny thing. Be your own weird self and don't let anyone else make you feel like you're not cool/pretty/rich/smart/popular enough. People that follow the crowd and have no identity of their own are boring.
Do you give your kids the middle finger behind their back when they are being intolerable, or am I the only one?
Ok, confession time....
I have a filthy mouth and curse all the time in front of and at my kids so there's never really a need to give them the finger behind their backs. They always know my true feelings.
But.....we hug each other and say I Love You to each other so often, it's actually pretty sickening. ❤
Ooh....What is your favorite "cheesy" song and is there a type of music that you can't stand to listen to? Okay, I think I hit my limit with questions.
Cheesy song? Hmmm.....Idk if it's cheesy but Despacito is a guilty pleasure song that I like a lot.
I can't handle listening to Grateful Dead. It makes my ears bleed. I dated a guy once who was a total Dead Head and the first time we took a road trip together was disastrous. I had to endure Grateful Dead for 3 hours straight. I made him listen to 90s gangster rap the next 3.

If it's a weekend when my girls are home I try to take them someplace we've never gone before. Even if it's just a small roadside attraction or a museum. I'm always on a tight budget so it's not about how much money we spend, just have to get creative sometimes.
If it's a kid free weekend I usually try and see friends or maybe go on a date on Saturdays. Sundays are strictly non social days. I go to the gym and clean house, run errands etc. I usually look like an ugly troll because Sundays are no makeup and hat days. 😊 There is almost always a nap on the schedule.
what type of plan do you have in place for a tornado?
We don't have a storm cellar at our house, so when the sirens sound, we load up and go to the church a block away because they have a big basement. Haven't had to do that yet this year but a few times last year. Have to usually dodge large hail when this happens though. At the end of school last year there was a tornado a few miles away just after school started for the day. That was scary, but all the kids were safe in the underground school shelter.

I don't know about the other two, but I am wearing khakis, so...
Someplace with trees and mountains and interesting weather because I'm a weather geek.
Even before it was trendy.
I'm deathly afraid of birds.
Vanilla rum with cranberry and lime.
No way jose.
I'm a wimp, I get panic attacks on roller coasters.

When people mumble when they speak.
Mostly when I'm asking my kids a question and expect a fast, clear answer.
