TabTabmartel Monday, November 23, 2009 8:13:10 PM

My ass gave up and left after the second baby..everything else went south after the fifth.. It really upset me for the longest time, but I have five wonderful kids and all I've had to give up is a flat belly.. I feel so blessed to have my children and even my belly wich is flat but no longer toned..is how I would describe it.

@ Sarah:

i did that test you have above, but when i got done, and was hoping to post the results on my blog, there was no coding to do so.

how did you get the coding for your questions and answers both?

Good old fashioned open magazine and type. I found that link online just explaining where the test originated from. You could just copy and delete my answers and put your own. smile
