A little about me.

Usually this blog is all about my lovely little (big) family, but today I am going to get a little crazy and tell you about ME. You just laughed out loud didn't you? Well, I have been "tagged" by several people to tell 25 random things about me. Here goes...
1. I HATED babysitting when I was younger. You couldn't pay me enough to do that job. I was much happier mowing lawns. Which is funny, now there's hardly a day that goes by that I don't have a few extra kids over here running around.

2. I use to work on a pit crew for my neighbor who was a race car driver.

3. I love math, and I'm good at it. I even have a degree in it.

4. One of my biggest pet peeves is people that don't put their carts away in parking lots.

5. My absolute favorite dessert is Tippins French Silk Pie.

6. I have the most amazing husband in the world who works sooo hard everyday so that I can stay at home with our kiddos.

7. I think crocs are the ugliest things in the universe, but I wear my fuzzy ones almost everyday during the winter.

8. I never would have thought I would have 4 kids. And I sure never thought I would actually pick their noses when needed. Or eat their leftover food off their plates. Or actually take a drink out of their sippy cup because I was desperate for a sip of water.

9. Prime numbers are WAY better than any other numbers.

10. I always set timers to odd numbers.

11. I really miss living in Phoenix - the weather there is amazing.

12. I look forward to getting my body back in shape after being prego the last 4 years.

13. I am a huge K-Stater and look forward to the day when I get to sit and watch a whole game without interruptions.

14. I loved playing flag football in college - and we were awesome - thanks to our great TKE coaches.

15. I love to wear jewelry, but don't get to as often as I would like since I have 8 little grabby hands around me all the time.

16. I have never and will never enjoy putting away clean laundry.

17. I have a hard time with unfinished projects - I like things done and done quickly. (Shawn can expand on that one...)

18. I am queen of putting things in drawers just to get them off the counter. (Shawn loves this about me, but has finally learned that if he didn't put something away, it's not lost, he just needs to look around in the drawer that was closest to where he left it.

19. I love this house. I love that it is on the street I grew up on. I love that my parents live down the street. I'm the happiest girl on the block.

20. Some days I miss teaching and coaching. Then I look at my kids and realize I'm doing WAY more by staying home and taking care of them, than I could ever do in a classroom. I'm proud to be a mom - hardest and most rewarding job in the world.

21. I have killed every single plant I have ever owned. Although, Uncle David got us a plant when Lucas was born and it's still alive - of course that means it is only 5 weeks old...time will tell.

22. One of my goals this year is to grow my own herbs.

23. I'm addicted to email.

24. I recently learned that if you put a big bowl of marshmallows in the microwave, they WILL explode. And it is a MESS.

25. I'm scared to death for my kids to all become teenagers at the same time...yikes!!

And there you have it - 25 things about me - hope you learned something new!
and I hope you are having the time of your life!
