To My Honey!


13 years ago today, I married the love of my life. I truly believe that God sent him to me and that we were meant to be together. He is the best husband, father and friend anyone could ask for. He is so caring and kind, unselfish and just a plain nice guy. He puts up with me and that's enough in itself! Happy Anniversary Honey! I look forward to a trillion more!

25 Random Things About Me

Okay, so I got tagged on Facebook a week ago about this and it has taken me a complete week to actually decide 25 random things about myself (my husband says there are many more)! This would have been posted earlier, but I have been at criminal jury duty all day; YUCK! I guess they don't want the wife of a corrections officer! Anyway, without any further waiting. . . . . .

Random things

I always put my left sock, left shoe then right sock, right shoe on; can’t do it any other way!
I put jelly on my potato salad and rice and gravy (thanks for that quirky habit Dad!)
I CANNOT STAND the sound of Styrofoam or feet! I will vomit!
I am afraid of drowning (and I can swim)!
I get up all hours of the night and go check on my sleeping children.
I love me some Rick Springfield, Lionel Richie and Zac Efron (not in any particular order).
As a child, I ate pure butter, out of the tub or straight from the stick; Mom always knew whose finger marks were in the butter!
I am smack dab in the middle of the birth order of my family; I lived a little while with Tracy and Lester and a little while with Michael and Stephen.
When I met my husband, I knew I would marry him. (He says it was all a bet!-I won)
I used to write with my left hand and my 2nd grade teacher made me switch. Why? I have no idea.
I had a blood clotting disorder while pregnant with Emily and had to take Heparin shots in my stomach twice a day throughout my pregnancy and 6 weeks after. Worth every needle!
I am always worrying about something; even it it’s not important (I think it runs in my family)!
Sometimes I think my sister and I have ESP. We know what the other is thinking and can finish each others sentences. (Comes in very handy at times)
With me, you get what you see; I am sometimes, unfortunately, too honest.
I always wish I had taken dance or gymnastics as a child; I am very spastic to this day.
I never really liked animals and now have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I couldn’t imagine NOT having.
I never really thought I’d get married or have kids; well, you all know how that turned out! (Glad I was wrong).
I went to LSU and after two years begged my Dad to come home; he told me no-“finish what you start”-he was right-don’t tell him.
I wish I could be more organized; I dream of it; think of all the ways I can accomplish it; map it out; read about it; plan it . . . never do it.
I guess it would only be fitting to next say that I have a problem with procrastination.
I love to read; used to read book after book; don’t have time now, but one day will catch up with a good book.
When I read, it makes me VERY sleepy (which I guess is why I never finish a book anymore) and I get VERY sleepy in the car.
I cannot go to bed at night until the kitchen is clean and the dishwasher is turned on-my kids could be hanging from the ceiling fans, but my kitchen is clean!
My parents are the greatest people on Earth; I only hope one day my children can say the same about me and Chad!
This has made me realize just how weird I really am!!!!!

LOST AND NOT FOUND!!!

Well, I have no pictures because I cannot find my camera! We had a busy weekend. They seem to go by so fast. Even when we have a long weekend, it ends much to quickly. Today, my mind is set on just making it through the day! I was awoken at 2:45 a.m. with a stuffy nose (I cannot sleep with a stuffy nose!) and went searching for my Afrin (I know-not good for you). Finally, back to bed and saw flickers of light and rumblings of thunder. For the record, Katelyn is DEATHLY afraid of bad weather! Before I could get to her, she was over to our side of the house! So, again, we try to drift off to sleep and Chad's alarm goes off (3:45 a.m.). By this time it is really storming and Emily has made her way over. So, bed full, Chad buzzing around, 4 AM!!!! I am not an early morning person. After tossing and turning for another hour; I fell asleep at 5 a.m.; only for my alarm to go off at 5:15!!! So, I am very tired and looking forward to hitting that pillow tonight! Until then, I will make the most of this day I have been given and pray for large doses of patience at 3 p.m. when I pick up two VERY tired little girls.
