My friend Stephanie had this on her blog and tagged everyone who read it and it sounded like fun, so here goes!
1. I am a food freak! I love baking. The thing that most people would find to be nerdy about all of this is that I totally love doing food storage stuff. I don't get excited about new and exotic recipes. If it has anything to do with ingredients that can be found in food storage I am all over it! I just got called to be the assistant ward canning specialist and I am so excited! My friend just gave me some white wheat that I am going to use this week to make homemade wheat flour tortillas. That kind of stuff excites me to no end!
2. I am reliving my second childhood through my kids. I love looking at toys in the Toys R Us catalog and I love reading childrens stories. Today my kids and I sat on our trampoline in the backyard and read Christmas stories and talked about what Christmas will be like this year. I can't wait to buy Katie her first Cabbage Patch doll and I love little kid music (Little Einstein's, Backyardigans, etc.). I guess I just love it because I had such a fun time as a kid and kids are just so innocent. Those kinds of things make me happy.
3. I am terrified of the dark! If Steve goes in our room before me at night I turn off all the lights in the house. If I forget to turn off the light in the hall that goes to our room I have to walk all the way across my living room in the dark Before I turn off the light I scope out the living room and tell myself there is nothing there, but sure enough, the light goes off and I go into panic mode! My adrenalin starts pumping and I usually end up running as fast as I can to our door and stop quickly so I don't look like a crazy to Steve.
4. Beside being scared of the dark just about everything else scares me. When reading Harry Potter #7, I had to put the book down at least 1-2 times per chapter because my heart was beating in my chest and it was way too intense for me. I don't know what my deal is. My poor husband. Last Halloween we cozied up on the couch and watched "Anne of Green Gables". What a man my husband is. He really wanted to watch something with at least a tiny bit of intensity, but I couldn't do it. Just my luck, last year Steve was out of town for a week and the first night he was gone the phone rang 3 times just after midnight with no one on the line. I was so scared that I called the police and asked if they would send someone to drive down my street to make sure everything was okay. The lady said no and so I stayed awake on the couch all night with the lights on and the TV on to make sure that my kids and I would be safe.
5. I am a total thrift store, bargain junky. Yard sales and sales at thrift stores are a downright addiction to me. When I go yard selling it's hard to stop because I keep thinking that the magic item is just around the corner. Yesterday I took my kids to Saver's for their 50% off Veteran's Day sale and had to scope out everything. That brings joy to my heart!
6. If it wouldn't kill a body to have a baby every year (along with your sanity), I would probably be in! I used to get so stressed with babies, but Katie has brought a whole new love of babies into my life. I am sure that I will never again have a baby as sweet as she is, but right now I can't wait to have another and another and another! I do want 6 kids so that we can have a house full of craziness! My kids just absolutely melt my heart and I can't wait to have more!
I tag anyone who would like to join this fun little letting it loose party! Have a great day!

K seriously I thought I was the only person who gets as scared as you explained it. I am terrified of scary shows, previews, movies, etc. Then when we are going to bed my mind wanders so bad that my heart starts pounding and I start getting so hot that I sweat and I have to wake Dusty up to cuddle me and look through the entire house to make sure things are ok. I have done this 2 times since I have lived in this house. I hate it!!! I'm glad I am not the only crazy person out there:) I dont think I will ever let him leave me for even just one night, if he has to I will for sure make someone come stay with us:) wow this was a long and pointless comment sorry. hope everything is going great for you and your fam. talk to you later.
I just love you and how you always make me smile!
I love these facts, they were so fun to read. If your tortilla recipe turns out good I want you to post it to your site, i would love that.
YOu are such a good Mom, I am sure your kids feel lucky that you love Toys R Us and Backyardigans. I am always hoping Brooklyn doesn't ask me to play it in the car.
I am also totally afraid of the dark. There is nothing I hate more than being home alone at night, it's like the second the sun goes down I am scared. I am a huge baby when it comes to the dark.
I see that we have some similaries as you speak these things. I hope your friends weekend went well and that you are all packed up and ready to go for your fabulous vacation. Tomorrow is haircut day. yay. see you then. Thanks for sharing these tidbits about you. love you.
Loved your comments!! Love the bargains and the little kid toys!
