"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

I have been tagged!



Jaime tagged me and I am not so sure how fun this tag is going to be but I am going to give it a try!

7 random or weird facts about me.....(I don't know if I want to share those with you)

1. I stay up very very late, I am talking 2 or 3 in the morning on the nights Josh works. I hate being alone and I am afraid of the dark so it is best for me to stay up late. I have gotten very use to it and now I am not tired in the mornings anymore. I sure get a lot of things done staying up this late. I am always looking for someone to talk to this late at night or morning so give me a call if you are awake too.

2. I am obsessed with washing my hands, my hubbies hands, and my children's hands or any one's hands who come into my house. I hate germs I hate sick people, and I hate dirty hands, so as soon as my kids get home from school their hands get washed. Kynzee has asthma and it is miserable if she gets sick so to prevent it we just wash hands really really really good. I have taught my girls to sing twinkle twinkle little star while they are washing their hands so they get them clean enough. I also take hand sanitizer everywhere I go, in every vehicle we own and we use it all the time. I wash down the shopping carts with it at all stores. You could maybe call me a little OCD about being afraid of germs, but it sure eliminates sick people in my home which is very nice because we all know how horrible it is to take care of sick children or being sick ourselves.

3. My whole family will laugh when they read this one because it is so true. My kitchen...O boy I like it clean, and clean as in my way. I load this dishwasher a certain way and I make sure all my sippy cups are organized and the lids are down so they get clean. I absolutely hate it when other people try to load my dishwasher it seems like they all just do it careless and they don't care about their dishes getting clean. I still have not found one person that loads a dishwasher like me. I know it is such a stupid thing but I like it done my way. I also like the counter tops wiped off all day long, I hate sticky counter tops and chairs. It takes me a few minutes and it makes me feel so much better about my kitchen.

4. I cannot sit still for more than 5 minutes! If even that long! I have to be up and moving and doing something. I keep myself very busy all day long because I don't like to sit. Sometimes it kills me to sit through a movie. If we are watching a movie at home I cannot sit through it, only in a theatre and I still have to get up and go to the bathroom or something. I don't watch TV at all! I use to watch Dr. Phil and Oprah but I hate the commercials and I can't sit through them. At the end of the day my feet and legs are sore that's for sure. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think it is because if I sit long enough I will start to think and thinking to deep about things is bad for me. I have to live and think in the day!

5. When I am worried, nervous, or sad I bite on my tongue! Yep you heard me right I clench my teeth right down on my tongue and it makes big sores. So pretty much my mouth is always sore. I use to bite my nails but since I started working in the hospital and became a germ freak I stopped biting my nails and bit my tongue instead. Not good!

6. I love having babies! I am obsessed with being pregnant, having babies and holding babies. I crave to have a baby as soon as my babies turn 18 months. I can't stand it! I see pregnant women everywhere and I want to hold and love on other people's babies. It is ridiculous, am I the only one out there who does this? I have horrible pregnancies and deathly horrible deliveries and recovery is like 3 months for me after I have a baby, and I still love those tiny precious spirits and crave to have one in my belly and hold one in my arms. Someone will have to force me to stop having kids because I will never be able to permanently make that decision. All I have to say is it's a good thing my sweet husband loves babies as much as I do.

7. I am a dreamer, a fairytale maker, a happily ever after kind of girl. I love the movie Enchanted and I am kind of like the girl in that movie. I live my life like a fairytale. I know that I dream too much and wish upon stars way too much and the happily ever after part, well.....I know everyone can live happily ever after if they really want to. So in my heart I believe I am a princess who can dream and make believe anything I want to, and I catch myself doing it everyday. I will sing and make up words to songs that I think should be written, and I will make believe that I am somewhere wonderful. Maybe it's because I live in a house with three little princesses and we read fairy tales and make believe all the time, but I think it is a good life and every girl should be a fairytale maker!

I tag seven of you and that would be: Lindsay, Kacey, Shalyce, Rachell, Nichelle, Misty, Judy

Oh My goodness!! This was absolutely fun to read! I am SO surprised at how much we are a like. It was like I was reading about me. Especially.....No. 1, 3, 4,& 5!!!

However, I don't bite my tongue....I have still yet to move away from biting my fingers. I finally was able to stop the nail biting after high school, though.

As for the washing of hands.....I was SO like that. It got So bad that I got in trouble at Parent teacher's conference for our first child. Cassie was in Kindergarten and she was failing the Sand and Water and Play and Clay centers. Failing grades in Kindergarten? Why you ask....well, whenever the kids were asked to do something with their hands in one of those centers (oh, yes, finger painting too)......Cassie would refuse to do them. She would look at her little hands and say "EEwwww!!!!!" She didn't want to get her hands "dirty". LOL! It was then I realized I may have a bit of a problem on my hands. Too funny.

By the way.....she went on to be an artist and Interior Designer. She gets her hands dirty all the time when she creates. : D Not to worry.

Thanks for sharing. So fun to get to know you better.

Oh Nat, that was great. I do the same thing when Vernon is gone. I can't go to bed to save my life. If they only knew how great it is to have them home. Thanks for the fun read.

Judy said...

Thanks Nan. I love tags. Such a great way to journal. We missed you at the shower. It was crazy. So many wonderful people. Thanks fot the gift. Such a cute idea!

Sam said...

I am the same way when it comes to staying up late...I can't put a book down, if I start a book at 10 at night, I have to stay up to finish it. So if you are up, chances are I am too.
