16 things you may not know about me, that are actually true
Most of these things at least some of you will already know. I just don't have that many secrets.
1. I've had a crush on my husband since I was 13 or 14 (and he was 20!). But I was very fickle and had crushes on numerous other people as well.
2. I started a novel about one of those crushes. It was a story about how we got stranded together on a deserted island. I also have numerous love letters to the same person.
3. I've kept a diary since I was 14. My whole nightstand is full of the notebooks and journals I've filled (with really embarrassing stuff!!)
4. I'm pretty paranoid. I spy on people a lot to make sure they're not mad at me or betraying me. Even I find it annoying.
5. I'm sort of superstitious. I don't believe the stars create your destiny, but all those things can't be complete crap.
6. I believe in evolution, but not in Darwin's origin of the species.
7. The sound of my kids crying/whining makes me want to go to sleep. Not because it's soothing, but because I just don't want to deal with it.
8. I'm a huge procrastinator. I didn't used to be. I can't decide if it's a personality change or a season of life.
9. I can't wait for my kids to grow up. I do love them and enjoy them now, but I can't wait until I can sleep in in the morning and don't have to do everything for them.
10. I'm an optimist at heart, but I'm also a big complainer. I try not to be, I just can't help it!
11. I was pretty promiscuous at one point in my life. While I think it was wrong and really hope no one follows my example, I also have no regrets about it.
12. I have had dreams about just about everyone I know. Most of them are too embarrassing to tell about.
13. I have a phobia about throwing up. I will do anything to keep from throwing up (or keep my kids from throwing up).
14. Despite some indiscretions and a bad attitude, I think I was a pretty good kid.
15. Sometimes I ignore my kids when they're crying. Especially if they're just mad about something.
16. Most of my motivation comes from guilt - or trying to make other people happy. I'm not sure anyone else would call me a people pleaser, but deep down, I am.
