A little something about me.

I've been home now for 10 years, 4 months, 10 days.  I don't say that in a bad way I'm just being specific.  I've learned a few things about myself along the way that I didn't previously know.  Some I kind of knew but when you are away from adult conversation for that long you start to talk to yourself.

1. I have actually slowed down to realize that my bad hair days are totally caused by the humidity.  Before I just didn't bother with why I just threw it up in a pony tail and thought wow I've got some crazy body today.

2. I need people.  I am a people person.  I love to make people laugh.  I love to listen to people's problems.  I love to be on a team and get something done.  I'm not so much a high fiver, but I'm all about team work.

3. People annoy me.  It doesn't take very much either.  They don't even have to know they are doing it. It can be anything from a nose whistle to the 14th time they have told me the same exact story and they aren't remembering that they have told me this War and Peace story of their car issues 14 TIMES BEFORE!!!   Now.  Staying at home has helped with that because I don't have to leave the house if I don't want to.  On most occasions.

4. I need deadlines.  I am way more productive when I know that the merchandise for a photo shoot has to be to Fedex by Thursday night at 9pm or we are going to miss our deadline rather than you need to complete the 4 billionth load of laundry, fold it and put it away...again.  It is the same with the clutter and straightening of this house.  I can have the house spotless and if the kids get home before their daddy forget it.  He is just going to think I do nothing all day anyway so why bother?

5. I don't like gossip.  I'm not saying I don't ever do it because that would be a lie but I don't like it, and if I partake in it  I am going to hate myself for hours after plus I am going to know that the person I was talking to is probably going to say the exact same crap about me to someone else so there isn't a win.  This takes us back to the fact that I need to stay away from people because I am generally a nice person who is just starved for adult conversation and if you are going to come to me with a did you know that she did this to her and did you know this about her kid and did you see the flying elephant that landed on the football field.  I am going to listen.  I'm not saying I'm proud of it I'm just being honest.

6. I love to cook until I have to come up with what, or I have to do so when my children are asking me questions and saying they are hungry.  If I get distracted something is going to get forgotten and it will all come out tasting the same or burnt or dry and all I really wanted to do was go out to eat anyway!

7. I don't like to go out to eat.  Shocking I know.  I like that I don't have to cook.  I like that I don't have to clean it up, but I really don't like to go out to eat because when you think about how you have no clue what is going on behind that kitchen door and who is cooking it and what kind of day did that have and did they or did they not just wipe their nose and not wash their hands after.  Completely grosses me out to think about it!!!  I like to go to Subway.  I can see what they are up to.

8. I am a simple person.  It is the tiniest of things that make me happy.  If you remember that I enjoy glass bottle cokes.  You don't even have to get me one you just have to say Wouldn't a glass bottle coke fix all of the crap that is going on in this world.  Then I know that you really have listened to me and get me and you aren't just in our relationship to see if I know more about what the deal was with the elephant on the football field.

Ok.  I'm done for now.  I also ramble.  I'm ok with it.  I eventually get to my point.  Have a fabulous day friends!
