I'm 28 years old.I feel old. ;)
It seems that each day goes by ever-so-slowly, only to be replaced by another day with the exact same events happening.
But when I turn around, another year has gone by.
Since last year I posted 27 things you may or may not know about me, this year, I thought I'd have to top myself with 28 things.
28 new things:
1. Up until just recently I had been spelling these two words incorrectly - deoterant and marshmellow.
2. I drank my first cup of coffee a few days before I turned 28.
3. I'm currently on a diet. I can only remember one other time in my life going on a serious diet - when I was 13 my doctor told me I was "a big girl" so all during 7th grade, I tried not to eat anything. (Somehow I survived... ;)
4. I'm a terribly light sleeper. Even with sleeping pills, ear plugs, and a blanket covering my ears - I can still hear Cale walking up the steps, Tim snoring softly, or one of my babies sighing contentedly in his sleep. It's a curse I swear.
5. I've been known to sleep on TOP of a comforter/duvet sheet and use another blanket to cover me so that my bed always looks made... ;)
6. When I get an idea in my head - ie: moving furniture, reorganizing, packing, unpacking - I am like white lightning. Last year I unpacked this entire house in 3 days!
7. I dont consider myself a "crier" but I can well up on the spot just looking at my children.
8. I do not argue well. I tend to go round and round in circles with my point because it makes sense to me. Then, when I am finished fighting, I'm over the subject. The latter has been known to infuriate Tim at times. :)
9. If I were only allowed 2 beauty products for the rest of my life I would choose concealor and an eyelash curler. WOW, they make a difference! It's like going from 5am to 10am...instantly awake and much more pleasant to look at.
10. Since we're on the subject of makeup - to Tim's dismay, I'd say that 90% of the time I put on makeup is in the drivers seat of a car (I even have an extra makeup bags in there)...
11. I'm nerotic about nap schedules for my kids. I wish I could be the type to let them sleep on the go...but for whatever reason, this aspect of my mothering has never been laid back.
12. At this point in time Tim would say he doesn't want anymore children. I'd still say I want one or two more.
13. I often have very close friends who are way older than I am...like ones that could be my mother. It's loads of fun (and useful information at times!).
14. Not to be prideful, but I'm probably one of the best 'Ticket to Ride' players you'll ever see. ;)
15. Tim was not my first kiss. (I've been watching a lot of the Duggars on TV, so I thought I'd make a confession.)
16. I get a little un-nerved with the way teenage girls dress. Sure, I came from a very conservative background...but the amount of leg I see on girls 11 and up (even past my age) is unsettling - church girls too!
17. I once had a nose ring for four days. I intend to get another as a celebration when I get back my pre-twin body back. :)
18. I think people who refer to themselves as their animals "mommy" or "daddy" are kinda nutty. I'm literally watching 'A Baby Story' and there is a women telling her DOGS that their baby brother is coming home soon.... :/ I mean, I'm sure she's a lovely person outside of that detail...but come on, it's a LITTLE crazy...
19. I didn't care much for planning my own wedding (I personally wanted to get married at the beach with a few people and come back for a party), but I quite enjoy helping others plan theirs.
20. I have, on more than one occasion been careless with candles... Once, while I was cutting a friends hair a candle burned a whole through the top of our 27" television. Still works though! :)
21. I am NOT a morning person...in fact, I don't mind that our twins stay up until about 10pm because they usually sleep in until 9am. (What about the other 2? We leave breakfast out for Cale and he knows how to put in a Blues Clues tape...and M plays in his crib.)
22. My favorite time of the day is naptime. Some days when the sun is bright and the clouds are formed in a smiley face I can get all my kids down at the same time (Cale just in quiet time). It's glorious and sometimes even I get to doze.
23. I can name all of our US Presidents in order. I have been able to since the 4th grade. I probably learned more that year than any other. :)
5. I've been known to sleep on TOP of a comforter/duvet sheet and use another blanket to cover me so that my bed always looks made... ;)

24. Though our favorite restaurant is Red Robin. Both Tim and I LOVE their Royal Red Robin burger and their fries dipped in ranch, (You have no idea how difficult it is to even type that while dieting - oh the longing!!) we often get gift cards to Macaroni Grill, and Olive Garden. There's only so much fettucini alfredo I can eat! lol.
25. I only watch the news when forced. Even then I could sit there for 1/2 hour and still have no idea what's going on in the real world. My world is full of marshmallows. :)
26. I want to adopt a baby girl from China...and name her Poppy.

27. I could probably sing more songs from the 80's than I could post 2000 .
28. I'm still in love with my best friend.

Anyone know all those things about me?
Yes, I already knew all of that..just kidding. I only know the ones you told me the other night before you posted this. I just wanted to point out how much your biological sons look alike. Wow! In your new picture up top- you can really tell they are brothers!!
