I’ve been tagged by my good friend, Ms. Cute Pants, to list seven weird/random things about me. It’s taken me a while to do this because even though I know there are numerous weird things about me, (1) I currently can’t seem to remember most of them, and (2) I’m not sure if I need people to know about them… and if they do know about it, then I don’t need to know that they know (am I making any sense here).

Ok, so here goes…

(1)  Growing up I wanted to be a secretary. Mostly cause I thought they got all dressed up and looked cute as they went about their business. The fantasy was in the dressing up and looking cute. I have since realized that not all secretaries get dressed up, only those who really want to impress their boss (wink, wink). If I didn’t have my husband and my kids, I might have held on to that fantasy (lol).

(2)  Recently an acquaintance mentioned that I am “as fertile as the Nile.” Interesting! Oddly enough, as a young girl I wanted to have six children. Now that I’m much older and wiser, I think I’m done with three. FYI, my MIL has six kids, all boys, ranging from 29 years of age (my husband) to six years old. She is one strong, brave woman.

(3)  Watching three kids, who range from 3 1/2 years to 3 months old, all day and all night long, has turned my brain to mush. So, when I am in adult company, I pretend to know what I am talking about and that I am smarter than I look. I think people are starting to see through my ruse.

(4)  The sadder part, I trained to be a math teacher but due to the current status of my brain I can’t even add past 1+1.

(5)  I love the smell of my babies’ breath… at least for the first six months of their life.  Smells of milky goodness (have I grossed anyone out yet)!  Once they start eating solid foods it’s not so pleasant.

(6)  When I was in the 9th grade I had an unfortunate accident with a cricket ball that broke off 3/4 of my front tooth.  I now have a crown attached to the reaming 1/4 of my tooth.  It’s pretty noticeable under a black light or when I go clubbing because the rest of my teeth glow blue while the fake tooth stays black.  I look like a retard with missing teeth.  Therefore I try not to smile too much when I go out clubbing.

(7)  I have quite a temper… to the point that when I get mad I want to slam doors, throw and break stuff, and sometimes even hurt people.  I think I inherited my rage from my dad and sadly, I think I have passed it down to Mark.  The good news is that time has taught me how to control this emotion, for the most part.  I hope I will be able to pass what I learned to Mark.

And just for craps and giggles…

(8)  Writing this post has drained what is left of the few brain cells I had.

Like I said earlier, I can’t seem to remember all the weird/random things about me.  Maybe I should consult with my husband.  I’m sure he can name several of my idiosyncrasies off the top of his head but, since I have fulfilled my part of this tag you won’t be reading any of it.  Too bad for you.  🙂
