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!!!!!
