Seven Things

Ok, I was tagged by Lisa and Wendy and ever since, have been trying to think of seven interesting things about myself. How depressing is that? Anyway, I thought maybe if I just start typing, they'll come to me. So, here goes:

 

1) I hate feet. Grody! (I don't think I have used that word since I was 14!) Especially men's sweaty feet. Especially men's sweaty sock feet. There is a scene in Napoleon Dynamite where the comedy of the film turned to sheer horror for me...I just imagine Kip's feet. Nauseousness. 

2) Two of my favorite foods are anything pesto and anything with guacamole. I also love just about any fruit...especially watermelon and frozen blueberries with milk and sugar. mmmm.

3) My goal has been to have 4 babies by the time I'm 30. 3 down, 1 to go! Bittersweet. 

4) I have a terrible fear of regret. I am practically handicapped by indecisiveness. Seriously, it takes me a while to pick out a piece of candy. I am just so afraid I will wish I had something else later. You don't wanna be around me when there is actually a big decision to make! Pray for me! lol!

5) I have only kissed one man and married him. Kinda weird, I guess. Definitely special to me. 

6) I have unnatural spazzy reactions to 2 things...bees/wasps and rubber bands pointed in my direction. I don't know, they just seem so unpredictably after me! 

7) I love to fall asleep watching a movie, I love the thought of reading a book, I love the concept of blogging. As you can see, I have a terrible habit of starting things...

There you have it. 

My Status

Yeah, so I have noticed something about myself. I am not so good at this...but you know what I would be really great at?? Status updates all day! I spend so much time thinking about something deep and interesting to talk about, feeling intimidated by all the really great bloggers out there, and then thinking of about 10 other things I really should be doing. My life feels so full right now. Homeschooling is quite daunting. I am working out the kinks in my schedule and hope to become more disciplined, therefore post more regularly. Anyway, until then, here are my status updates for the last couple days:

* Going to give blood, don't weigh enough, ate too much, threw up in parking lot at hospital, hospital caught on fire......figured it isn't my day to give blood. Hey, I tried! 

* Feeling like I am in high school....intimidated and insecure.

*My boys are camping and I am having a 'girl's night' with my mom and little sis. 

*Off to a 5 year old birthday party! Hoping for great candy in the pinata (that I will confiscate from my kids, then they will completely forget about)! 

* Just got back from taking the boys to a nice quiet park with some friends....wasn't quiet for very long.

*Drama with a 'Facebook Friend'...no longer friends at all....que serrah. (long story)

*Took Jonas to the doctor for 6 month check-up. Feeling like he should join the circus after all the 'he's SO big' comments. He is a very healthy, 20lb, 27", 90th percentile, happy baby! 

*My 3 year old caught a squirrel. His father (Daniel is always referred to as 'his Father' in situations like this) told him that he if he caught a squirrel with his bare hands,  he would buy him new Legos. 2 weeks later, Evan hadn't forgotten. What was intended to be a energy wasting impossibility for a 3 year old was, to Evan, an attainable goal. As my dad would say, that can preach! 

*Getting out fall clothes! It's here!!!!

*Digging deep spiritually....exhausting and challenging. (more on that later)

*Both knitting and quilting in my spare time. HA! 

*Went on a date night, finally!!! First date in over 6 months! Long overdue, much needed, but I still missed my kids terribly! 

*Went on a walk on the Hampton Cove Greenway with my mom, brother, and sister. Soaking in this beautiful weather! (btw, congrats to whoever it is with the signs on Four Mile Post that read: It's a Girl! And a Boy! And a Boy! And a Boy!)

*Got a taste of what it would be like to be Jon and Kate plus 8 (except I had 6) for a couple hours. 

*Embarking on another journey with Beth Moore...it's going to be great! 

*Teaching my child to read. Patience, Lord! 

*Going for a walk with my boys.

*Watching Gilmore Girls with my guy. 

There is a touch of some of the things that happened in my life over the past 5 days or so. Hopefully the next 5 will be quieter, less dramatic, and go by a little slower. 

These are precious times.
