Monday Morning Meme....some Insight

It's time for some more fun with Write From Karen's Monday morning questions.

1. How many coats do you own? Do have a good coat? Casual coat? Summer jacket? etc. Do you wear coats very often? Or do you have a tendency to leave your coat at home whenever you go out? What is your favorite coat? Why is this one your favorite?

I have 5 jackets. One is a good jacket and the rest are casual. I do have a problem with leaving the house without my jacket. I have a car starter and go from my warm house to my warm car. My favorite coat right now is my black down jacket with a furry hood. You can zip the arms off to make into a vest and it was only $8.98 at Steve and Barry's!!!!!

2. You’ve learned a thing or two about this thing we call blogging. Tell us one thing you don’t recommend to other bloggers. Tell us one thing you do recommend to other bloggers.

I have only been blogging since August of last year. I guess the thing I wouldn't recommend to other bloggers is to post infrequently.....does that make sense? The thing I would recommend is to comment on everyone's blog that you visit.........we bloggers LOVE comments!!!!

3. Is cursive writing a lost art? Should good penmanship be taught? Tell us about your handwriting - good / bad? Do you think your children have good handwriting (given their appropriate age, of course).

There is really nothing special about my handwriting. It gets the job done. I can read my son's handwriting and he has improved significantly from 1st grade to 2nd.

4. Have you ever struggled with infertility? If you haven’t, or if it wasn’t the hardest thing you’ve ever had to go through — what was?

Well, our first child was like textbook conception. Our second however, took 20 months to conceive. Each month was a disappointment and should have had stock in pregnancy tests!!! I was lucky enough to never have a miscarriage. The hardest thing I had to do was give birth to my babies and then have them taken to the Special Care Nursery while we were in the hospital. We had to leave our first baby in the hospital for one night while we went home and I thought I was going to go insane. You don't go through a pregnancy, give birth and then come home without your baby!!!! But we survived and they are both healthy little stinkers!!!
