Thanks, Mr. Wilson

It’s time for:

1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?

Evangeline Lilly (Kate) from LOST. She’s tough, pretty, and I can only dream to be in that kind of shape some day!

2. Did you ever go to summer camp?

Yes, thanks to *Mr. Wilson, my 5th grade teacher. He knew about my mom’s drinking problem. He also knew (like the rest of the town did) how poor we were. So imagine my surprise when I found out I won a free week at summer camp for being the top school safety patrol guard! And guess who was in charge of selecting the winner? Yep, Mr. Wilson.

*not his real name

3. What sends you running and screaming in the other direction?

I already answered this one here.

4. What is something you do that drives your spouse nuts?

I just asked my DH and he said, “When you tell me what to do.”

Um, isn’t that what wives are for!

5. What is currently your favorite song?

Lay ‘Em Down” by Needtobreathe (Awesome contemporary Christian group!)

Want to join in? Hop on over to Mama M’s!

(BTW, I’m so excited, my DH and I are having our first date night in months on Saturday! :-)

So What are YOUR Weekend Plans???

How wonderful that Mr. W saw that you needed summer camp!

Have a great date...it's so nice to have an evening out! I think my hubby and I are due...it's been a while for us, too!

Marsha said...

My weekend plan is to sleep! I've had company all week and I'm tired. I'm hoping to squeeze in some scrapbooking time, too.

Have a fun date with hubby!

Momma Fargo said...

Love Mr. Wilson! And look what career path you chose after that!

trooppetrie said...

summer camp was my saving place and someone from my church always paid for me to go because they knew my mom (drunk ) would never be able to

Mrs. Deputy said...

Kelli @ RTSM said...

Murdock's mama said...

Your answer to #2 gave me goosebumps! That is so amazing!

Kelli said...

What a sweetheart Mr. Wilson was. :) Everyone deserves to have a Mr. Wilson in their life at some point.
Hope you have a happy date night!

Christy said...

I love Need to breath and that song is all over our radio! Enjoy your date night!

Beth McC. said...

Love all your answers! I love Needtobreathe they are in my top 5!!

Happy Friday!~

Arizona Mamma said...

You tell him what to do? Pft. My husband just calls that nagging...I'm a pro.

Pennie said...

Great answers! What a great way to get to camp, too! :)

Have fun on your date night! My hubby is frying fish tonight...outside in our turkey fryer (we can do skads of them that way and invite the neighbors..with no smell inside!). I get to prop up my feet and enjoy a good meal - ahhhh! ;)

Amy O'Connor said...

You guys get a date night? Lucky!!! =) Have fun!

Love your answers. Bees = scary. That's all there is to it. Yes, wives are for telling husbands what to do. He tried to tell me that I'm not his mom, but I tell that I just took over her job plus some.

Oh, and Needtobreathe rocks!!

You have a wonderful weekend!

Tyler said...

Ok first of all I have to say I read your title and immediatly thought of Dennis the Menace.. lol he always yelled "Hey Mr. Wilson.." totally off subject I know.

Anyways so awesome he sent you to camp! I can only imagine how excited you were to get that opportunity :)

High five to past safety patrol members!!

Alright now that I have blabbed on and on I am out of here girlie! I hope you have an awesome date night with DH. You deserve it!!

Lolidots said...

Happy Friday!

Rudy Rukus said...

Great answers. Great 5QF. What a great community you grew up in. Have a really fun date night! I am jealous!!!

Mama M. said...

So, so jealous of your date night! Dontcha just love awesome teachers???

Jenney said...

Everyone needs a Mr. Wilson in their life. :o)

My plan is to have a BABY this weekend. Think if I plan it it will happen? Nope, probably not.

Alison said...

"Isn't that what wives are for?" Well, um, no, not ideally... but... guilty here too... working on it though, because, really, that's not what we're for.

Lula Lola said...

Have a great date night! I'm crossing my fingers for one tonight. My toes too actually! Hoping the babysitting comes through!
Mr. Wilsons rock!

Emmy said...

Have fun on your date! And teacher's like Mr. Wilson are sadly too far and few between.

Matty said...

I never heard that song until just now, and now I gotta thank you for the tip. I love it.

I went back and read that post about the bees. Made me laugh again.

Yup, you wives are there to tell us what to do. Where oh where would we be without you?? LOL

Laura said...

HAHAHA to number 4!! Umm what is he thinking? :) I love #2, very cool! Have a great weekend!

Hattie said...

Every little kid should have a Mr. Wilson in their life!!!

Yay for date night! Have fun! Hope the rest of the weekend is great too!!!

MollyinMinn said...

Have a great date night! Jealous for sure!

Alyssa said...

I can't seem to get past your answer to #2. How sad! That makes me want to applaud you for the grown-up success that you are.

Cole said...

I think I would Evangeline Lily to play me too. She is awesome. Enjoyed reading your blog!

Have fun! It is so nice to have a date night.

My plans this weekend are to recover. I had my surgery today and I am doing very well, but sore.

Brian Miller said...

wow. got to the party late...nice choices...needtobreath is great! telling what to do, yep i hear that. smiles. hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Annette said...

Ha! Once again, your answers are v similar to mine!! LOL

I chose the lovely Evangeline Lily as a possible Me in My Life Story! I think she's amazing!! :)

I have exactly the same problem as you re stripey buzzy insects!! However I've said that wasps are my most feared critters, rather than bees. I don't mind fat little bumble bees, who tend to mind their own business, but some bees are just as pesky as those nasty wasps!! :(

BTW, I've tagged your lovely blog for a couple of blog awards. Check out this post to claim your bloggy bling!! ;)

My weekend is REST (ha!, I wish)... we laid 20 cubic yards of mulch in all our gardens the past 3 days ...

Well, your answers were not that unlike what mine would have been, but dad issues were like your mother's.

I look back on life & see the sweet things so many did for us kids ... Mr. Mullins saw to it we kids were the ones chosen to pick 'prizes' at town events, etc.

My DH wuld say the same thing as your DH ... my retort constantly 'well, then retain what needs done & getter done so I DON'T have to tell you what to do' ... sounds pretty fair to me, eh?!

TY for your sweet notes, I love them.

Have a lovely weekend.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon

#2 Made me cry instantly. I love that you are willing to share Miss CopMama... and that are such a vessel for the King!

Blessings-

Visiting here for the first time. I am married to a police officer. I can not even think about being one; however I do admire you. I know it is a tough job and being a mom is tough too. God bless you. I have decided to follow your blog.
May the Lord protect you and keep you safe.
IN HIS HANDS,
Bren
