Give Me 5 Monday for October 5
The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here’s how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here!

It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified. Sign up for weekly reminder emails @ beccagirl@charter.net

It’s been another wild and crazy week, as I continue to try to get into a routine with school and work.  I’m pretty much tired all the time.  But, so far, I am keeping up. Tim was a lifesaver last weekend when he instructed me I was to only focus on homework, and leave all the household stuff to him.  He cooked, cleaned, did laundry, and offered his support.
