I've been seeing these "tag" things on other people's blogs and thought it would be fun to do one, so here's how it goes. You list 5 little known facts about you (things you hate, things you like, something you've done, etc.) and then at the end you "tag" three other people who will then do the same thing on their blogs. You can include pictures if want!! So here it goes...
1. I am a closet perfectionist when it comes to having a clean house. This may shock those of you who have been to my house because it is far from being perfect. Just know that 99.9% of my day I spend in mental agony because my house doesn't look perfect. :) Along with this is my sense of being overwhelmed which is usally why my house isn't clean. I am not overwhelmed with motherhood, just the task of cleaning my entire house in one day and having it stay clean for more than a couple of hours overwhelms me so instead of attempting this, I just stew over it all day, then about once a week ( or after we visit either my mom or Ryan's mom- their houses are ALWAYS clean) I FREAK out and have a "breakdown" (which Ryan usually gets the brunt of) and I clean really good. Most of the time my efforts are "ruined" shortly after by my adorable 2 year old, but hey at least I tried!!!
2. If I could have 24 hours all to myself (and I mean all 24 hours) doing whatever I want to do, I wouldn't travel to some exotic place or even go shopping. I would clean my house (see #1), read a good book while I take a bubble bath, order Pizza Factory Chicken Alfredo pizza with a breadtwist, and rent a chick flick!! Maybe one day....
3. Most of you know how much I "appreciate" the art of eating. However, I am surprisingly picky. I firmly believe that fruit was NOT meant to be part of any dessert (the only exception I can think of is Cheesecake)! Fruit should NOT be mixed with ice cream (no kidding I go to Bear Lake and I refuse to order a Raspberry shake), cake, or anything else. Fruit is meant to be fruit. REAL desserts are things such as brownie sundaes, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, etc. NOT FRUIT!!!!!! On another note I HATE whipped cream!! Oh and chocolate chip cookie dough IS better than the actual cookies!
4. I have a very strange personal "bubble." I love to hug and kiss my kids and my husband, and an occasional hug with an extended family member is ok, but I am not big on hugging random people or even friends hello, etc. This may make me sound like a "snob" but I am just not a touchy feely sort of person. Don't be offended by this, I just like my "personal space" :)
5. If I could do ANY job in the whole wide world (besides being a mom of course) I would be a bank teller! Not a manager, supervisor, loan officer, or anything else just a simple bank teller. I had that job for about 1 1/2 years and I LOVED it. There is something so satisfying about how accurate you have to be. I loved balancing my cash at the end of the day and finding myself to be completely balanced down to the penny (there were times when that didn't happen)! I loved opening up my drawer and seeing all of the money facing the same direction and I LOVE to count change back to people. Ryan calls me a math nerd! I also love using a ten key calculator. It is so exciting to me!
So that's all you never needed or wanted to know about me. I tag Mom Lloyd, Emily, and Jenni!!
Happy Easter!!
My two babies!! They grow up way too fast!
My "3" children!!
Carter and Rylee with their baskets Easter morning!
Me and Rylee with our good friends Lori and Sean Thomas!
Carter finding eggs. He thought you were supposed to open them and eat the candy as soon as you find them. It took quite awhile to find all 12 of his eggs!
Both the kids at our ward Easter Egg hunt (Carter is stealing eggs out of Rylee's basket!)
