8 Random Facts About Me

Ok, so I read over Melissa Halls blog recently and realized that I have not participate in any of the Tags and felt a little guilty and decided I would take my turn and post about this Tag, since I enjoyed reading Melissa’s so much. So here it is 8 random facts about me.

1. I get really car sick. I grew up in a town where the only way out and in was on very winding roads and I could never leave and go on a trip without getting sick (I had/got to puke every single time). I can even get sick on the freeway. To this day on a long car trip if I am not driving most of the time I get at least sick to my stomach, if not more.

2. I hate car washes. I don’t know why I have this phobia but I really, really, really, hate car washes. I don’t consider myself claustrophobic but I have often wondered if this could be part of my problem. I can’t stand the sound of the wash or the idea that I am trapped inside of my car and can’t get out. This also explains why my new car was not washed for over a year if anyone was wondering and FYI I washed it in my lawn when it did finally get washed. :0)

3. I love kids and have always felt that I have a special connection with them. From early on I just loved to baby sit. I am sure some of this is because my youngest sister is 11 years younger than me and I loved to baby her when she was young. I have loved to watch/take care of kids ever since. It gives me so much joy in getting a child to smile at me, trust me, and like me.

4. I often feel very inadequate and often left out. This is kind of a two part thing. The inadequate part I don’t know how to really explain. It just seems a lot of the time I just can’t do everything I need or want to do and so I feel very inadequate. The being left out part I have finally figured out though. I don’t know why it is but it seems that every 4 to 6 weeks it all the sudden hits me that if I have not had an friend time with anyone that there must be something wrong with me and that people must not care and on and on. But it takes about a week and I began to see that it is all in my head and I move forward with life and it always gets better. I hope someday to overcome both of these challenges in my life.

5. I will never drive a van ever again. When Brian and I got married he drove a full size van with a wheel chair lift in it and by the time we got rid of that thing it was fully decide in my head that I would not ever drive a van again. I have always loved SUV’s but after having the van I swore I would never drive one again and now that I have my Pathfinder there is really no way in this world I would go back. (Now for everyone that drives a van, because a lot of my friends do, Please don’t take any offence I have nothing against the fact that you drive a van it is just that I personally can’t do it).

6. I like to clean other people’s houses. I don’t know why but it is almost like a treasure hunt to me when I clean for people. I love to see how people arrange furniture and there things and how they decorate and I love to help organize for people. I know it is strange but when I cleaned for people in the past it was a really enjoyable thing for me.

7. I love to serve others and help anyone in need and another part of this is that I love to hold party/events at my home to do this (I love to organize an event and then have it all come together and see everyone having a blast). If I know that someone is in need it is very hard for me to just sit at home. I know in my heart that there is always something more I can do. And so one of my joys in life is to help others out

8. I don’t know what I will do when I grow up. I use to think I wanted to be a registered nurse when I grew up until I was a CNA and a TECK through LDSH and I learned really quickly that I loved the people and didn’t mind helping them with their needs but it sure got old doing the crap work and not getting much credit for it. So when I grow up I am not sure what I will be. I know I want to help people but, I am just not sure how I will do it. Maybe someday I will figure it out but for now I will just be a MOM. (which is enough work in it self)
