Favorite Quality in My Hubby

This is part 28 in the 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me series.

I love my husband for a million reasons. Like all spouses, there are definitely things I’m not exactly crazy about, but I wouldn’t change him.

What Is Your Favorite Quality in your spouse

I’d have to say that my favorite quality in Tom is his good heart.

Hardest Part of Growing Up

This is part 13 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

We spend our lives constantly looking at the next milestone: double digits, teenager, driving, 18, 21, married, having kids, etc. Eventually you hit that point and just want to go back to when things were simple and easy with no tough decisions to be made or real work to be done.

Growing up is hard. My advice? Don’t rush it.

Hardest Part of Growing Up

There are a lot of hard parts about growing up. Some of them will seem really obvious to you, but I think the hardest part of growing up is knowing how to ask for help.

I’m sure some people will say their smile or their hair is their favorite part of their body. For me? My favorite part of my body? My boobs, breasts, knockers, whatever you want to call them- they are my favorite part of my body.

My Favorite Holiday

I’ve been slacking on the 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me posts. I think I’m going to bounce around now and try to stick with it to finish it. I’m hoping by jumping around, I’ll be more apt to find something I want to answer each week. Favorite Holiday

5 Passions

This is part 8 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

5 Passions

I had a hard time actually deciding on 5 passions. These are in no particular order and aren’t necessarily the 5 most passionate things, but they’re the 5 I thought of and listed.

My Dream Job

This is part 7 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

dream job

Honestly, I have no idea what my dream job would be. I worked in convenience stores for over 10 years before this past September. I’ve been a stay-at-home mommy for 7 months now. I actually just had to count because it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

My dream job would have to be something that makes me proud of myself and what I do. It would allow me to be home for dinner every night and attend family get-togethers on weekends.

I’m completely torn about working because I want to get out of the house, socialize, and earn money; but I hate the idea of someone else watching my children all the time.

I’m in love with the idea of owning and running my own deli or convenience store. It’s what I know and it’s what I’m comfortable with. Maybe someday.

3 Wishes

 

This is part 6 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

Hit the lottery

Hitting the lottery would mean no debating on going back to work for me. We could pay off the house, both cars, the crazy amount of medical debt we have now, and all the other miscellaneous debt we owe. Hitting the lottery wouldn’t change us in the sense that it does some people. We would spend it reasonably, use it to relieve our everyday stresses, and not worry about putting the boys through college.

My Relationship with Daddy

This is week 3 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

Daddy and I have a strong and loving relationship. As you know by now, Daddy doesn’t show or talk about his emotions very well. This drove me crazy at first to the point that we would fight about it constantly. I’ve come to accept that that’s just how he is. Daddy is an extremely emotional man, he just can’t express it.

We balance each other out in so many ways. You’ll learn this. Our best days are when we can just lounge around and enjoy each other’s company. Daddy is truly my best friend. We can talk about anything or nothing at all. We love to play games and be nerdy together.

My hope is that you will find your other half out there (many, many years from now) and be as happy as we are.

3 Fears

This is week 2 of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

1. Driving in the Snow. This was never a problem for me. Then in 2007 I put my car in a ditch driving to my now husband's house for the night. I think it only takes 1 time to put that fear in you. I called him for help and he said he couldn't come help me because he too, was in a ditch- about 5 miles away from where I was. Seriously guys, we're meant to be.
