Some little known facts about this boring mother of 3 (and 6/9ths).
*I am not a nice/friendly person in general. Not on purpose. I think I come off rude or stuck up a lot, but its just because I'm quiet and shy and don't particularly enjoy making new friends. I like my old friends and just want to stick with them.
*I've been known to hold a grudge. I hate that about myself and try really hard to get over things when I feel wronged by someone. Its hard, and I still struggle with it.
*I cry during some commercials.
*I think I'm a good mom. That's right. I said it. I know it sounds very self-boasting, but its true. I do a lot for my kids, and I sacrifice a lot for them too. They are all well-adjusted, smart and awesome, and I'm going to take some of the credit for that. Everyone has an area in their lives where they excel, and I'm happy to say that this is mine.
*I LOVE Jeopardy. I enjoy pointless trivia, especially when I know the answer, and Jeopardy is filled with pointless trivia. I also LOVE Wheel of Fortune, and am an active member of the wheelwatchers club (I know I'm going to win that trip to Hawaii one day, I can feel it).
*I feel guilty for having such a wonderful relationship with my husband when I come across others who aren't as fortunate in their relationships. I don't like that. I shouldn't feel guilty about such things.
*I'm afraid of Disneyland. My kids want to go. I don't like crowds, and Disneyland has an overabundance of them. I know someday I'll probably have to face this fear, but until then I'm hoping Disney Channel will keep them satisfied.
I am a HUGE fan of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. It takes A LOT of self control for me to turn them down when they are offered, and I don't always muster up enough strength to do so.
I swear. Not a lot. I've definitely toned it down since having children, and I try not to swear in front of them (but I'd be lying if I said I didn't say them in my mind a lot). But when the neighbor parks his car in front of my driveway three times a week, or I stub my toe super hard on a chair, or get frustrated with a task needing faster completion, cursing happens. I can't help it. Don't judge me.
There, now you know me better.

What are you doing blogging so damn early in the morning. Oops was that a swear? You are awesometastic. I miss you.
I liked this and I think I may copy you now and do the same. Is that ok? You just had a really good idea there, my friend! Are you guys going to come down here to visit any time in the next year??? Let us know.
And I wanted to tell you that Phil is afraid of Disneyland too. Maybe we should go with you guys when you go and Scott and I will take the kids on rides and you and Phil can hang out in the shade and drink Pepsi (actually, there's only Coke in Disney...sorry, one more reason to be afraid of it!)
Oh, and Jeopardy was my first word! (Yes, I said mom and dad, but after that was Jeopardy!) I was a genius-baby.
We should get together and play trivial pursuit! I'm a fan of useless trivia as well.
This was a great post.
My hubby HATES crowds too. I talked him into going to Disneyland (a few times now) and when we go we just go with his flow because if it were up to me we'd stick around for the parades and such.
I don't keep Diet Coke in the house for a reason, but whenever I go out to eat I order it 90% of the time. It a little treat I like to indulge in.
And I love love that you said you're a great mom because I love reading about all the fun things your family does. I agree, we all excel in some things and if thats your talent shout it from the rooftops because it just means we'll have more well-adjusted kids in this world.
Chelle, I also fear Disneyland, I very much dislike crowds and while I was there I had to deal with people invading my personal space. This one woman behind me kept pushing her breasts into my back, I wanted to turn around, swing my arms and yell "get out of my bubble!!" at her. I was definitely not fun to be around.
Max-I miss you too! and I didn't blog that early, I blogged the previous day and set it to post in the morning.
Nichole- I would love for you to do a post too!! Please do! And its a plan, when we go to Disneyland you and Phil better be there.
We are trying to make a plan for coming to utah for spring break possibly, but we'll see. Also, we will be planning the Bear Lake trip very soon, so keep your calendars open for the end of july or beginning of august!
Rachel Sue- I'd totally be up for some Trivial Pursuit.
Debbie- Your husband sounds braver than me. I just don't know if I could handle it.
Britteny- I'd pay money to see you say something not nice. You're the nicest person on the planet!
I think I know you "a little bit" or any way I used to.
I went to Disneyland when I was in 5th grade...I don't remember any thing about Disneyland, I remember getting to stay in a hotel, and Uncle Arnold coming to visit us there, that's it, thats all I remember about it.
I think you are a "super mom" also.
I never did swear till I had kids, It's sometimes frustrating to be a mom.
I think all of my children thought I was too friendly...but not so much as I've reached "old age" I am basically alone here I don't have any close freinds like Jean..I miss that.
I enjoyed your post, I think you should have added what a great talent you have for writing poems and stories.
