2. Share 7 weird and Random Facts About Myself - Here Goes

* In my home I cannot clearly think unless the house is organized.  My friends and I have decided I have a sensory processing disorder - or I am very ADD and I have to remove all distraction. Interesting I have 5 children and one one the way!

*  I never finish a cup of coffee in the morning.  I start drinking coffee about 6:00 AM and REHEAT the same cup over and over until finally I forget it that one last time and leave it in the microwave.  Why don't I get a fresh cup?????  Great question.

* My two favorite foods together are orange juice and pringles.

* Sometimes when I am scared or on the verge of tears - I begin to laugh.  I have no control over that particular emotion at that particular time.   It is truly the strangest response and I really feel bad about it.  One night, my husband sprained his ankle so badly.   He had gone out to the street to move his car into the driveway and twisted his foot as he stepped down off the curb.  He had to practically drag himself into the house on his stomach.  When I saw him rolling on the foyer floor, he had sweat dripping down his face.  As he was rolling around on the floor I could tell he was in  pain.  He claims he was on the verge of passing out.  I do not know what hit me but I started to laugh and LAUGHED!  STRANGE!!!  My daughter, Olivia, came to me one time and her eyes were full of tears (she is not short of tears) and she had such a big lump in her throat she couldn't talk.  I could feel the same lump welling up in my throat - so what do I do to avoid tears?  I uncontrollabley started to giggle!!!! She was upset because our sitter's dog was sick. SUCH A BAD MOTHER! - I think I have passed this trait down to my oldest daughter.

* It is very difficult for me to go into a store and only buy what is on my list.  I also have a difficult time sticking to buying the one thing I am looking for.   Target is a very bad place for me to go!

*  I am neurotic about nap time.  My children take naps everyday until they go off to kindergarten.  And now that I home school, I am thinking about streaching it to age 8!

* I asked Skip to help me come up with some quirky things about me.  The list could go on and on, however, I was interested in what he had to say.  When I asked,  he looked frightened wondering if I was trying to set him up!  How sad is that.  I promised him I would hold nothing against him.  He reminded me that I like to fall asleep on my back with my glasses on.   He waits until I am asleep, walks over to my side of the bed, takes off my glasses, sets them on my night stand (so gosh darn considerate - YES this is the same man I laughed at when he was in pain!) and then he crawls back into bed.
