Day 01

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.


Ok, so the picture is not super recent, but I really don't like the camera much!


1. I have a fantastic husband who is my very best friend! And I don't just say that because it sounds good on a blog post. I really do mean that there is no one else in this world that could possibly understand me and put up with me the way this man does, he probably deserves saint status some days, but we won't tell him that!
2. I have three very energetic children ages 5, 4, and 1 whom I love dearly, but there are days I would like to stick a sign in the yard that says FREE KIDS (to a good home of course) and see if I get any takers! Instead I just reach in the fridge for a nice cold cup of "mommy juice" and we all feel better. Or at least I do!
3. I live in God's country. Not many things to do around here unless you count cow tipping and road tripping, but it sure does make for some beautiful scenery and peace and quiet.
4. I work a full time job, however I often try to talk my husband into letting me be a stay at home mom. Financially it is probably an option, unless you take into consideration the fact that if I were a stay at home mom I would probably be unable to stay at home and more likely to want to get out of the house to do things. Or if by some act of god my husband could keep me home, I would sit around and dream up shit to go and do, so instead I work so we can use my income to go do the stuff I love dreaming up! :)
5. I have been on a weight loss journey for the last year, although I must say that the last six months I have really slacked off and should probably call it a maintenance journey. I hope to get myself back on track soon.
6. I tend to ramble (if you haven't noticed by now).
7. I am a pretty straight forward person. I don't like bullshit and backstabbing. If you don't like me or something I say/do/stand for than be upfront with me. It doesn't mean we still can't be friends with different opinions. However, do not pretend to be nice to my face and then talk about me behind my back. I can't stand this and will basically do everything in my power to avoid situations with you in the future.
8. I have very little patience. This is something that I have tried to work on over the last several years (especially since having children), but is very hard for me. Patience is a virtue I was not blessed with.
9. I love fall!! This is by far my most favorite time of year. I love everything about it including the weather, the get-to-gethers and especially nights sitting out by the fire.
10. Bedtme is my least favorite time of the day. I hate having to convince my kids every night that they need to go to sleep. Most nights turn into a battle and then I end up feeling like the bad guy. I don't like ending my day on that note. I wish I could let them stay up as late as they wanted and sleep in late also, but in reality that wont' work.
11. I enjoy sports. Not so much participating (its been quite some time since I've done any of that), but watching.
12. I don't have many close relationships, (other than with the husband and kids) I have a tendency to push people away. I'm not sure why I do this, if I'm worried if they get too close I will disappoint them or they will disappoint me, but I am really trying to work on this.
13. I love to read blogs. I don't know what it is about certain blogs, but I really can relate to them and I find it theraputic to read them and realize that I am normal! I haven't gotten good at commenting yet, I think that has to do with my phobia of getting too close, but as stated above, I'm working on that.
14. I really don't find myself that interesting of a person since I am only on fact #14 and I'm struggling for things to say.
15. My husband tells me that sometimes when I'm REALLY tired, I sleep with my eyes open. I still deny this, afterall this is coming from the man who can wake up the dead with his snoring. I think he just tells me this so he doesn't feel like he is alone when it comes to bad nocturnal habits.
