1. I hate to get into arguments. I would rather just tell the other person that they are right and I am wrong, even if that is not so, to avoid contention. In some cases (such as my religion being misrepresented) I will step out of my comfort zone in this regard, but for the most part I keep disagreements to myself.

2. I love the TV show Glee. I think that everything about it is SO wrong and filled with stereotypes and smut but I can not escape it and I own all of the music available from the show on CD. Add to this that we do not watch TV so I have to pull each episode up on Hulu when everyone’s at school… and I have just disclosed my most embarrassing guilty pleasure.

3. I let my little kids eat pretty much whatever they want for lunch every day. Brownies and ice cream? Sounds good. Cereal? Perfect. Chips and licorice? Awesome. I cook well-balanced meals for breakfast and dinner and just feel like it’s not going to hurt anyone, so why not? (And here’s where I feel like I have to defend myself… they do ask for sandwiches or quesadillas on occasion. But not often.)

2. When desperate have dried clothing in the microwave. Don’t try this at home people. Have also destroyed a few items of clothing in the microwave.

3. I love 80′s music. In some circles that is cool again so perhaps another laundry confession for good measure… I when desperate I will buy clothes rather than wash them. Not because I love clothes but because I hate laundry that much. If you see me at Walmart near midnight on a Saturday night, I am probably shopping for a new shirt for one of the boys or a skirt for me, or socks. How can one family generate so many orphan socks!?

2. I don’t read/watch series that everyone is excited about. Harry Potter – never read or watched. The Work and The Glory sits in my house untouched. Read the first Twilight and then decided I didn’t want to continue on. For some reason, it’s a turn off for me when people’s lives are taken over by these. I don’t want to participate. Some day I might catch up…maybe…

3. There is an in-law relative of mine (not the Mother-in-law) that I really really really struggle with. The kind of person that is allowed to speak her mind, no matter how offensive, because if she believes it then it’s okay to say it. I bite my tongue and try not to let her get the best of me. But I fear (and some days dream about) the day that the volcano errupts and I let it all out.

1. I sleep with earplugs because I can’t stand the sounds (or the silence) of night. So, instead I make it even more silent by plugging my ears with small pieces of foam.

2. Sometimes I dream of ordering a styrofoam tub of mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC to keep all to myself. (I haven’t done this since I was preggers with #2.)

3. I always laugh at farts (we call them toots at our house) and fat dogs. Just say the words “fat dog” and I start to giggle. I can’t help it or my junior high sense of humor.

2) I love McRibs. I know they are a mystery but I love them.

3) I dance around the house when I’m home alone in the mornings. Yes, I blare the music and dance like there’s no tomorrow!
