Blogging Challenge - Day 1

Here are the rules in case you missed them!



Day 1: A recent picture of yourself, and 15 interesting facts.

1. I have a nervous habit of grabbing the child in closest proximity to me as soon as I see a camera approaching. I get nervous during solo shots - where do my arms go? Do I tilt my head? Should I act surprised? Its all too much for me. Hence the picture above.

2. If I had been a boy, my name would have been Heath. Like the candy bar.

3. I teach three year olds twice a week at a Learning Center and it is the HARDEST job I have ever had. But one of the most rewarding.

4. I have had the same best friend since the sixth grade.

5. I have five adopted brothers and sisters.

6. I sometimes wonder if dinner time will ever be peaceful again.

7. I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.

8. Everyday, I miss the friends I made in Fort Worth.

9. I am so thankful that each morning, I get to wake up and live my dream of being a stay-at-home mom.

10. My own kids' mucus, poop, and vomit is doable. Your kids' mucus, poop, and vomit is NOT doable.

11. Some of my friends go on vacays with just their spouse every year. While I think that is cool, I can't imagine going to all these cool places every year and not taking my kids! Yes, it can be stressful, but just about every night, my kids pray to go back to "Fwardia."

12. I am 80% done with my Christmas shopping. Sound the alarm.

13. I put Beauty and the Beast on my girl's Christmas list, but it is mostly for me.

14.I use to cringe when my dad would turn on Home Improvement shows on a Sunday afternoon. Now, I'm addicted.

15. In the time it took me to write this measly post, I have changed a massively poopy diaper, bathed all three children, conducted breakfast, done SIX loads of laundry, made a trip to the grocery store, and begun preparing dinner. No, this is not normal.

See you all tomorrow!
