My friend Cindy tagged me so now I get to blog about 8 random things...hmm...
1. I had 2 dogs growing up that were named PePe - and both of them were chihuahuas, my mom LOVES chihuahuas!
2. I have a TON of guilt for not having a set time to study my Bible...and I know that I only have to START it - but I just cannot seem to set aside time regularly. I know, I should...I really do want to! I just lack putting it into action!
3. I lived in two different houses growing up - that's all. And ONE of those I don't even remember because I was only 2 weeks old when we moved out! (My parents were trying to rent a cute little house, but the landlord would not do any repairs so they had to move out and find a better place.) Every now and again, when Hubby and I are in that town (it is nearby and we find ourselves there often since Hubby's family lives there in the same town) we'll drive by. It has been fixed up now and is so sweet!
4. I always wanted an older brother. I'm the oldest...not really sure how THAT would've happened, but I always did. Then when I got married, I thought that Hubby's older brother would be like my brother...but for quite a while he REALLY did not like me. (It seemed Hubby didn't know how to tell him "no" so he would say I have to see what is planned...Bro thought I was RUNNING HUBBY'S LIFE! He figured it out after a while. Now he likes me - but we still aren't very close.)
5. I never really wanted to go to college. (Is that bad?) I always knew that I wanted to be a wife and mother - and THEN maybe I would go to college. Don't really know for what, and I couldn't afford the (now required) testing as a child/student before, so I don't know now if I can ever even go. (I am sure I can go SOMEWHERE, though. Even community college if I really wanted to.)
6. I am an insomniac. It often takes HOURS for me to get to sleep and even if I DO get to sleep, if anything wakes me up (I am a VERY light sleeper, too!) it takes HOURS to get back to sleep. Last night was a bad night - I am EXHAUSTED!
7. When I was working with kids (in child care and in school, etc.) I had a tendency to favor the "bad" kids. I don't know why. I tend to give them a bit more positive attention (when I can) and try harder to "get to" them. It usually worked...or seemed to.
8. I am UBER-self-conscious! I get REALLY uncomfortable around a lot of people and I have an inclination toward thinking that when people are whispering or talking quietly around me, that it is me that they are talking about. When I walk through a group of teenage girls at church (our youth program is BOOMING, so that is about twice a week at least) I feel like I am back in high school. Like they are making fun of me and laughing at me. Pitiful, isn't it?
Okay...I'm done. I hope these are random enough - and not too pitiful! :o)
Be blessed and be well - I have cleaning to get done!
