Let's Play a Game.....Tag, you're it!

I promise to write about the lecture and how it went yesterday but first I have some business to attend to regarding a tag I received this week:

I LOVE playing games! Board games, Bunco, Cards.....you name it, I LOVE it! So, when I got tagged by Jenelle at Life in the Woods I was very excited to play a game on my blog!

I am supposed to write 7 Random Facts about myself and then tag 7 more people at the end of my post. So here we go......

1) I have always known I wanted to be a mom. When I was a little girl I wanted 14 children and I can still recite all of their names to this day (although my children don't have any of those names). When I would play the game LIFE I would try to overfill my little car with "children pegs" (this goes to show~be careful what you wish for! HA!).

2) During the birth of my first baby my uterus inverted and came out. I lost so much blood that I nearly died and only because I was in a delivery room (as opposed to a birthing room) were they able to operate immediately. It not only saved my life, it enabled me to keep my uterus and have 6 more babies.

3) I was allowed to have an epidural before they induced the labor of my last 3 babies which meant I never felt pain and the babies came in 20 minutes!

4) During high school I worked as a telephone bill collector for a magazine publisher (don't hate me). So if you ever get called by a bill collector there is a good chance it is just some high school kid. LOL!

5) Speaking of high school, I ran cross country my sophmore year (even though I hated it) because my boyfriend did. Now, I actually enjoy running and have even participated in a couple of 5K runs.

6) When I was about 5 I was playing ball in the house, fell, hit my chin on something and bit right through my tongue (about 3/4 of the way across). It required several (painful) stitches to reattach it.

7) My family and I survive a hurricane together in Mexico. I wrote about that here.

So there you have it, seven things you may or may not have wanted to know about me! Now I have to "tag" seven of you. Don't feel obligated, Jenelle assures me there is no curse on you if you don't want to play. But, if you are up for the challenge, here are the seven bloggers I am tagging:

Joy @ Ponderings
Amy @ In My Life
Jenny @ Standing at the Water's Edge
Tonya @ Safe in His Arms
Jamie @ Purposeful Pursuit
Rhonda @ A Mother's Heart
Terri @ Facedown

And here are the rules if you decide to play along:

1) Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog
2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4) Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

The really great thing about this game is there are no losers! We all win by learning more about each other so don't be a spoil sport, jump in and PLAY!!!
