Rules: Those tagged must list 7 random facts about themselves. They also need to write in their blogs the rules of the game, which are pretty simple--you list your 7 facts, then list 7 people you are tagging. Then you leave them comments letting them know they've been tagged.

This should be tricky as I don't think I know 7 more mommies to tag...

To be chanted in a singsong voice: you did a mee-em you did a me-eem!!!

I hate that word, too. So stupid!!

Wow, you and I have a few other things that martial arts in common here! I am a knitter (wish I could figure out crocheting beyond that first chain base - I think you, me and Becky should start a "Martial Artists who knit" blog), and a kid with ADHD.

Could you email me at windsornot at yahoo dot com? I have some questions for you, if you don't mind, about your kids' ADHD. Mine just got diagnosed, and I feel parents usually have the best information. Thanks!

I LOVE crochet. I haven't had the time in the past years to sit down and do it, but I love to crochet. I've made everything from action figures, to throws.

There is such a calming repeditive movement of the hands, and mind that makes crocheting relaxing, and interesting. Nice to see that you enjoy it also.

I'll be posting my answers in the next couple days. Didn't want you to think I forgot...just a little behind.

You and I both tagged Miss Chris!

You could always tag me - I've already answered both memes. It would be nice and circular.
