I've been tagged

I have been tagged to play along with this game by Pirate. Though I'm sure I've done this before or something similar...(I'm too lazy to go through my archives to see)...I enjoy these so I'll play along again. Just a side note for my dear online blogger friend Pirate....(it's JAN...not Jen...lol) WEll...here it goes..............


What was I doing 10 years ago?: Wow..nothing like making me put on my thinking cap!!!...let's see...in December of 1995 was the year I reconciled all differences with my ex-husband and decided to accept him just the way he was. My Children were still in school and I was working for Subway as a Multi-unit manager. I was just struggling along as a single mom of 2 teenagers and working full time.

What was I doing 5 years ago?: December of 2000 was a tough year for both the kids and myself. My Daughter gave birth that year to my little grand daughter so she was only 5 months old at the time and it was also the first Christmas with their Dad gone....(he'd passed away in April). My Daughter and I were still getting back together on speaking terms after a falling out the year before while she was pregnant. 5 years ago seems like a lifetime ago but it really wasn't was it?

What was I doing last year?: I was back working at subway after not having been there in 9 months.....I hated it and wondered why I was even back....I'd already worked there for nearly 18 years.

What was I doing yesterday?: woke up pretty early...talked to my Bob for a little bit...went to the store for milk...sat and visited with my daughter and opened a package that came UPS with a christmas present in it from MY Bob's brother....he sent me a flower bulb to plant in a really nice vase...(Amaryllis)...took my daughter to the dollar tree for stocking stuffers for my grand daughter then went to work from 2 to midnight.
