i'm mom.

K- the other day I was trying to get the boys out the door for school and said, "hurry and finish your breakfast", or maybe it was "eat your breakfast so we're not late AGAIN", or it could have just been "eat your breakfast". Dillon suddenly became a little stressed and said "Mom your turning into dad" I was like "what", I know I didn't sound too mean (; He responded "your turning into dad making us eat even when we're full. Heaven forbid I turn into dad so I said "Sorry I didn't know you were done."

25 random things about me!

I posted this on facebook and just copied it over-errors and all-(it's called killing two birds with one stone) I just realized I have two 15's...oh well....

1. this is the 2nd time doing this I was almost done and lost it!
2. I scrapbook once a year @ scrapfest in George @ the holiday inn. It's almost time!
3. I drive Brennen crazy because I don't use proper grammer or puncuation when on the computer. (I'm sure more of you are out there.)
4. I use to tell my sister Nanette that if Jon Bon Jovi walked into the RCIS and asked me to marry him I would. I'm pretty sure this concerned her because she would try to talk me out of it.
5.When I was younger I really thought I was a princess and would look out the window wondering when they would come and find me. Of course I would let my new family come and live in my castle with me.
6. I had awesome 80's hair.
7. I own more than one pair of skinny jeans and recently bought a baggyish sweater.
8. While at Ricks College I got put on probation and had an eviction notice taped to my front door in the same semester. I was really proud of both letters.
9. I hate being told what to do.
10. I need all facts proven to me, you tell me something and I'll question it. This drives Jake crazy! the two questions I think he hates worse are-"how do you know that?" and-"are you making that up?" He especially hates that last one. To everyone else he is TBK (the book of Knowledge).
11. I once took a clogging class and have some prettty sweet moves. The class ended for me the day she had us all sit down and only the preforming group practice. Me, my sister and my friend sat down looked around and realized we were it and quit.
12. One of my favorite childhood memories is when Nanette was yelling in her sleep "I want to be like Robin, I want to be like Robin!" I loved that.
13. I ran out of seminary once with teacher in pursuit after he told me that I make the spirit leave the classroom, I'm spoiled, I won't amount to anything in life and he didn't uderstand because he liked Rob (my older brother). I sat in with the secretary for a couple of days until the Seminary head honcho guy made him apologize. (My mom's response was- I think he thought you were Sandee.)
14. I hate making dinner. I'm not a food person I seriously could go all day without eating if my body didn't need it. But it does and so does the bodies of the rest of my family so I cook.
15.When I decided to go to Ricks my mom signed me up for my classes. When I got there and realized she had decided I would go out in Elementary Ed. I dropped them. I took stupid classes like business law. By the time I left I signed up fro the Elementary Ed program at USU. I hate being told what to do.
15. I'm a band booster mom. (never saw that coming in highschool) Go Band!!!
16. My mom hurt my feelings pretty bad in highschool when she told me she always pictured me in the cattle-i mean-color guard.
17. Since I was little I always wanted 6 kids. I have 4 awesome boys. When I realized I was only having four I sat in church and looked at the family with 5 and thought that looked perfect. I've come to peace with only having four and LOVE THEM!
18. I have a hard time keeping my opinion to myself and often hurt feelings I'm afraid. In my defense I take critism fairly well so I expect others do too- Just one of my bads.
19. I'm pretty sure I embarass my kids and I'm also sure Jake finds me annoying at times (good thing he loves me)
20.When I first met Jake I was chewing him out @ a USU dance, I think, for being so mean to my cute little cousin Christy, who was his neighbor and a freshman. He thought I was obnoxious and in highschool (I was a senior at USU)
21. I use to get told I looked like Nicole Kidman- a lot. The other day someone told me I looked like Reese Witherspoon. I'll take that one!
22. I crack myself up almost everyday. (I find myself very funny.)
23. I play a lot of brickbreaker on my phone. Jake is trying to convice me that it's harder on his storm since he can't seem to make it past 9000 and I have a high score in the 12000's. Did I mention I'm competitive?
24. I think that people get the wrong impression of me at first. Is it bad that I don't care, well I care- I want people to think I'm fun and friendly- but not enough to change?
25. I don't or can't hide my feelings very well. If I'm annoyed you'll know it. If you stink you'll know it. If you had a bad highlighting job I'll probably tell you. (sorry about that again amy)
