25 Things about Me
1. I can't stand when words are spelled incorrectly or pronounced wrong. I can't stand when people use bad grammar. It makes my blood boil, and I want to slap them.
2. I use to love walking home from school when it was raining. It was the best feeling in the world. I haven't had the chance to play in the rain in years.
3. I have a phobia of cotton balls. I can't stand for them to touch me or be near me. Tim has to remove them out of the Tylenol bottles, thank God for him.
3. Garlic and onions make my mouth itch and make it hard for me to breathe. Please don't put them in my food. It won't kill me but it's not a very pleasant feeling.
4. I can't drive at night. Well I can, but not very well. The on-coming headlights have a glow about them, like a halo. It makes it hard to focus.
5. I'm addicted to caffeine. I am so addicted to caffeine that I have actually gone DAYS without drinking anything but soda. I drink more than 44 ounces of soda a day. If I go more than 12 hours without any caffeine I get terrible, painful migraines and can't function.
6. I exclusively breastfed, no formula, both my daughters for their first year of life. I had no emotional attachment to it whatsoever. I did it because it was free, and healthier for them.
7. I never thought I would be married and have children before the age of 25. Oddly enough I became a mother and a wife at the age of 18.
8. My mother and husband use to hate each other. They have now decided if anything goes bad between him and I, they get to keep each other. They honestly probably love each other more than either one of them love me.
9. I hate driving to a place I have never been too. If I get lost I will most likely end up having a mental breakdown in a parking lot, while crying on the phone to my mother or husband.
10. I suffer from chronic insomnia. It takes me at least 2-3 hours to fall asleep every night, and if I wake up in the middle of the night I can't fall back asleep.
11. I have a photographic memory. I realized this while in elementary school.
12. The first time I held a snake was on Thanksgiving Day 1997. My brother forced me to sit still as he put Monty the Python on my shoulders. I hated it, but since then I have had a love for snakes.
13. When I was in 7th and 8th grade I always wore a jacket wrapped around my waist. I was embarrassed that I didn't have any meat on my butt and thighs to fill out my jeans. The jacket hid that fact, but looking back, probably brought more attention to it.
14. I love photography and love taking pictures. I have taken more than 2,000 photos of my children in the past 2 years.
15. When I was little, I use to tell people "when I grow up I want to be a Dalmation". I was serious.
16. I was never scared of monsters or the boogeyman at bed time. I was always scared of gang-bangers and thieves. What can I say, as a child I use to watch "cops" before I went to bed.
17. I never have my blinds open. I am always worried that someone will be looking in on me. I blame this on number 16.
18. I have recently come to the conclussion that I am a neat freak. Not so much a clean-freak, but things HAVE to be in their specific place. It doesn't matter if they have an inch of dust on them, does it? ;)
19. I don't own a single pair of heels. I love stilletos, but don't own any clothes to match them, so why bother.
20. I still don't have a profession in mind. So far in the past 6 months I have wanted to become: a teacher, a vet technician, a photographer, a mechanic, a plumber, an electrician, a nurse, and many more things.
21. I have trust issues and self esteem issues. The two are connected and probably will always be there.
22. My feelings get hurt easily, but I normally won't tell you.
23. I'm from west Texas, all my family is from west Texas. I have an accent I have aquirred from being around them. If I am drinking or tired, it does come out. Be scared.
24. I suck terribly at cleaning, cooking and spending money. I am an awful girl. Thank God I married a man who is AMAZING and enjoys doing those exact things.
25. I love my brothers more than anything in this whole world. Even though they are pains in the ass. :)

an update
So here is my update, since I haven't since December.
I will start with Madison since she has the longest list to write about.
She is seriously one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen, and not just because she is mine. She loves to cuddle and give kisses and hugs. She is a quiet girl but she lets you know she is around.
She has been pretty silent for the past 6 months, but in the past two weeks has just become a jabber box. Its pretty cute. She said 'Opa' last week, clear as day. Twice too. Tim's dad had come over to help set up the wireless internet so Tim could play xbox live, and he was standing in the kitchen and she was sitting on the couch and goes "opa". I was the only one who heard it that time but then she walked into the kitchen, lifted her arms to him and said it again. It was really cute!! So far she has only said, mama, dada an opa. haha, seriously that's it, oh and uh-oh. Told you she was quiet. She loves to climb up in your lap with a book and have you read to her, her favorites are the ones she got for Christmas. They are sesame street beginnings books.
She is also pretty tough for her age, anyone who knows Mackenzie, knows Madison has to be. She doesn't really enjoy playing with kids her own age but prefers older toddlers, around 2-3 years old. She can hold her own with them too. Children at that age don't really understand the concept of sharing and tend to take away toys a lot. Madison will hold tight to a toy and if a child tries to take it she will scream to get an adult's attention. I'm pretty impressed that she doesn't just start crying like most kids. She also doesn't cry if she falls or trips, she just stands up and dusts it off.
Oh yeah, she's still sleeping through the night, woohoo! She also has a new interest in the potty. Thank god. Mackenzie is helping with that one, which is pretty cute. Every time Madison goes to the potty Mackenzie tells her 'be a big girl and go in the potty', Madison will sit there and then Mackenzie will tell her 'good job'. It's cute.
Mackenzie has a new cute thing that she does, she sings. Not those kiddy songs either, songs off the radio. Her favorites are "I'm yours", "Heartless" and "Womanizer". She's actually pretty good too. Quite cute.
She is starting to take naps in panties. She doesn't wear diapers during the day, but normally when she sleeps. She has recently started waking up with dry diapers after a nap so I'm starting to do panties. She still wakes up with a wet diaper in the mornings though, so I'm not THAT brave yet.
So Tim's test is on the 4th of February, and he is very nervous. I know he will do great regardless but he is still nervous. He is going to be studying like crazy from now til then. Our friend Matt has 7,000 hours and works with the Union so he has been helping Tim study. I'm so excited for Tim to finally be a licensed plumber and hopefully get his own truck, soon!
Anyway, that's my update.
And just because we got a kick out of how small Madison's bites are
