I love these things!

1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family?

Well I am married to a Veterinarian but even before that pets are part of the family! I love my Mickey-do-da so much. He lives with Erica but we have had him since I was 17. Sam and I have the Flojo! She has been a little jealous of Sammy getting most of her attention but we love her.


2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?

Well, like I told my friend BreAnn. My dream come true would be a calorie reversal! So I could grab a King Sized Reese Cups and watch all the salad eaters swell up! LOL On a serious note, my dream come true would be to run a marathon. Some day!!


3. What is the one thing most hated by you?

I really can't stand people who are rude, mean, or try to make others feel stupid. I think I hate it so bad because I used to be all three of these things. Now that I am older I just want everyone to be nice to everyone else. Sounds cheesy I guess.

4. what would you do with a billion dollars?

-Give Erica 100 million.
-Pay off all my families debt and make sure my Dad and Sam's parents could retire.
-Set up college and mission funds for Sammy and all my neices and nephews.
-Buy Sam an animal hospital with any and all equipment he wants.
-Buy season tickets to the Tarheel games.
-Buy a house in North Carolina, Utah, and Louisiana
-Donate to some charities and causes (SIDS, Depression)
-Hire a private Spanish tutor!
(I could go on LOL)

5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood?

I can usually talk myself out of a bad mood. I am usually happy. A funny movie or laughing with my sister.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

Odd question. :)

7. What is your bedtime routine?

Make morning sippy cup for Sammy, take Flojo out, go into Sammy's room and make sure he is still breathing, brush teeth, read scriptures, pray, and argue with Sam about who steals whos pillow.

8. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner?

We met on LDSsingles.com not findahunk.com as he likes to tell people. :) We talked for about 2 months then went on our first date. Engaged three months later and married three months after that.

9. If you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be?

Johnny Depp, if that counts. I was a theater major so at one time I loved being in plays and he is one of the best actors out there.

10. What kinds of books do you read?

I read all Nicholas Sparks books. They are all set in NC and he describes my home state perfectly! I also love books about communication and strengthening relationships. Also, quote books!

11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?

Hopefully with one or two more kids. Fluent in Spanish and Sign Lanuage. Having a job as an interpreter (For sign language). In shape enough to run a marathon!

12. What’s your fear?

Something happening to Sammy, Sam, or Erica. I have been really lucky and nothing really bad has happened to me. They are the three closest people to me. If I lost one of them...I wouldn't be completely myself anymore.

13. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to visit outer space?

No way! I am too scared to leave the country much less the planet! You go ahead Bre, take lots of pictures! LOL

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor?

I'm really not good at being poor but I could not live without Sam so I'd take the second one.

15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?

Check my phone, ugh I hate that that is true.

16. If you could change one thing about your spouse/partner what would it be?

I would make him communicate the way I do so we could understand each other always. LOL

17. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?

I love my name and wouldn't change it!

18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?

I absolutely would forgive but depending on how horrible it was it might take a while. I would definitely try to forget but that is hard for anyone I think.

19. If you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be?

Chicken! I love it. :)

I will tag....Erica, Meghan, Jess, Lynds (They are my friends that actually blog) but anyone else feel free. It is always fun to learn more about people

Random thoughts keeping me awake

Sam is snoring so loud I can't believe he hasn't woke himself up!

I wish I had worked harder on my mission. I wonder where Sam and I will go when we serve a mission together.

Man, I need to stop slacking and get back on my diet.

I wonder what it is like at my old job. As soon as all our kids are in school I am getting some kind of job! I can't take being home every day. Maybe I will go to school. I will be like 35 then...but who cares.

I really want to read those two books I just bought.

I am going to stop buying stuff we don't need and use the money I save to get my nails done.

I hope Sammy likes the classes I am signing us up for. I hope he makes friends...I hope I make some friends too.

I wonder if the Beehives are getting anything out of my lessons.

Why does Flojo have to lay by me when she is a thousand degrees?

Do I really have the patience to teach Sammy sign language?

The kitchen is a mess.

I wish I could go back and do everything all over again with what I know now. That's life I guess. School for sure though, why was I so rebellious?

I truly believe that Kathy is trying to sabotage my relationship with my Dad and his relationship with Sammy. I wish I could like her, it would be so much easier.

I wonder who will win Hell's Kitchen, So You Think You Can Dance, Last Comic Standing, and Big Brother.

I wonder if America would like me if I was on a reality show...I'm funny right? Pssh, heck yes I'm funny!

Seriously, why can't I sleep?

I can't believe I had two dreams about poop last night. Don't laugh Jean, keep it together!

What was that noise?!?!

What would I do if someone broke in here? I am definitely getting a gun and I am going to learn to shoot! Gotta keep it locked up so there is no accidents.

I wonder if our nieces and nephews know that we love them. I hope Carolina liked her birthday present.

I am going to be consistent with my discipline. It will be hard but I have to! I can do this!! I wish Sammy didn't have those break my heart big brown eyes! Be tough! I have to! I don't want Sammy to be a brat like some kids I know.

Will I have a girl next? I want a girl so bad! I've dreamed about a girl. I feel there is a daughter out there for me.

Why am I so exhausted all the time? I definitely need to start taking my vitamins again. I don't eat anything healthy! Need to start waking again but it is so hot!!

I really need to start doing my Rosetta Stone again. Man, I wish I had taken Spanish in high school. I wish I could take a class now...I would hate being away from Sammy.

Sam seriously falls asleep in less than 30 seconds. I can't imagine 12 hour work days, poor guy.

I wish I could always control my temper.

In a few minutes I will flip my pillow and it will be cool and that'll help me sleep.

I'd listen to my sleep machine app but my ears are sore from the headphones.


These are just the few that I could remember. Sam and I went to bed around 10:30. I started watching cartoons on his iPod and playing games on mine. I do this every night and it usually takes me about an hour to fall asleep. I fell asleep but around 12:30 Sammy woke up. I gave him a bottle and changed him then put him back in his crib. It took less than five minutes but when I got back in bed I was wide awake! It is now 3:58am. If I am lucky Sammy will sleep until 8. Tomorrow is going to be awful! At least I can nap but of course if I nap too long then I will have this same problem tomorrow night. I hope everyone out there is having sweet dreams.

Battle of the Bottle

As you can see from the picture we have several bottles. When I clean them I line them up in the same order each time. The bottles each have a matching nipple. Sam has this habit of taking a bottle from one side of the racks and a nipple from the completely opposite side.

Sam says, "It doesn't matter babe, they are all the same."

I say, "Yes it does! It helps me when I look at them to know they are all there or which one is missing. You're fired babe!"

I know this is a silly thing to be irritated about but I think Sam is secretly trying to drive me crazy! LOL

Randomness

Sam-"Babe, why do you eat half the hot pocket with a fork and then the rest with your hand?"

Me-Out loud..."Because a whole hot pocket is just not manageable." In my head..."Because I'm just crazy like that, I do what I want!"

Sam-"That just doesn't make sense."

Me-"Whatever babe, you do a lot of things that don't make sense!"

Sam-"Oh yeah, like what?"

Me-"Umm, lots of things!"

Sam-"Yeah keep trying to come up with something."

We both laugh.
