I've been tagged

Let's see...rules first.Each player answers the questions about herself. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to each blog to leave a comment, saying "you've been tagged, come to my blog to read the details."

What I was doing 10 years ago:
I was eighteen and very excited about going to college. I can almost feel that rush of expectancy that I felt then. I couldn't wait to get to the next step in the journey, to meet new friends and find new adventures.

Five things on my to-do list today: (The day is almost over, so I'll go back to my list from earlier.)
1. Make sure information is ready for Response to Intervention Team Meeting.
2. Work on analysis of data for my research paper.
3. Have a meaningful conversation with another teacher at school today.
4. Pack for a weekend trip to Cincinnati, OH.
5. Go for a walk.

Snacks that I enjoy:
I usually snack with the boys and girls in my classroom. Today we had popcorn. :)

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Help my sister and her school.
2. Pay off my undergrad college loans. (These will soon be gone! Yeah!)
3. Start my own school. :)
4. Buy tons and tons of children's literature!
5. Develop some sort of program to help those who are struggling financially. (They could borrow money and pay it back without interest.)

Three of my bad habits: (These are all currently being attacked!)
1. I am too sensitive.
2. I am slow to trust.
3. I get too busy with life and don't have time to spend with those that I love.

Five Places I have Lived:
1. Neoga, IL (Good 'ole growing up days.)
2. Greenville, IL (Greenville College)
3. Effingham, IL (In a cute, little house with a dear friend and teacher in our district. Oh, it was so fun!)
4. Effingham, IL (Jenner Apartments...Ahhhh! I miss my little home.)
5. Neoga, IL (Back home while I work on my Master's degree.)

Five jobs that I have had:
1. Lawn Mower (I started at age 10. The dear lady paid me $15 each time!)
2. Clerk at Mercer's Pharmacy (Oh, if only I would have chosen to be a pharmacist! Think of the money I'd be makin'. HA HA)
3. Music Teacher at Camp New Hope (This is a camp for individuals who are either mentally or physically impaired.)
4. Caller of Prospective Students, Secretary for Student Development, Computer Lab Assistant (All at Greenville College)
5. Educator (Fifth grade teacher - 2 yrs., Title I Teacher - 3 yrs., First Grade Teacher - where I am now, and a home bound tutor)

Five people I want to know more about (A nice way to say TAG!)....
1. Kelli
2. Becca
3. Rachel
4. Kimberly
5. Sonja

Hey Jo!

I'm catching up on the blog world and so enjoyed yours. You forgot to mention the other bad habit you have of singing songs about birds when entering restaurants. :) BTW, let's hit Red Robin and Barnes and Noble again after IHC.

ps I tried the Miss Moos Treatery, Cold Stone is better.

Hey, I was so looking forward to you being in Cinci and I didn't even get to see you! My dad ended up in the hospital and I had to go home. One day we will get to hang out, but until then...
