Motherhood Unscripted
10Things
Journaling says:
1. I have a lot of guilty pleasure TV habits. True Blood (I mean, c’mon. VAMPIRES!), Real Housewives, Flipping Out, Hoarders.. I love a lot of reality TV - especially Clean House & How Clean Is Your House - as well as House, Glee, and The Office. & So You Think You Can Dance. These are my only “must-see” shows, but if nothing else is on, I’ll find myself watching a lot of other stuff like Extreme Home Makeover, Supernanny, World’s Strictest Parents, & Trading Spouses.
2. I am addicted to Diet Coke.. Right now, I’m only drinking the caffeine-free version, since I’m nursing, but I prefer the version with lime. In 2 liter bottles or fountain-style only. The cans have too much carbonation.
3. I’m rather ashamed with how overweight I’ve allowed myself to get. Four pregnancies haven’t helped, but my appetite has become unmanageable and I have to take complete responsibility for it. And I have to slim down. This is ridiculous.
4. I love to blog. I’ve had my blog at Motherhood...Unscripted since 2004 and I don’t see any end to it. While I know nothing I have to say is terrifically important, it’s amazing to have a place to get down what I’m thinking about, what’s important to me & what’s going on in our lives. The fact that people are interested in reading it is a huge bonus.
5. I’m so lucky to be married to someone who’s my best friend. He gets my sense of humor, has the weirdness that I do, and we feel the same way about so many things. Plus, he’s so smart that he can tell me nearly whatever I want to know.
6. I think my best mom quality is my ability to be silly with my kids. I have no problem being big, over-the-top and making them laugh with little things. In other words, I can totally go there with my kids.
7. Probably my worst mom quality is my lack of patience. I lose it pretty regularly and cannot tolerate everybody pulling at me at once. With a baby, a 5 year old with DS, 8 year old with Asperger’s and an 11 year old girl, I’m getting pulled A LOT. And my yelling. Need to get those things under control.
8. I am desiring to reignite my relationship with Christ. I want to be a stronger, more passionate Christian, but I’m letting the day-to-day world get in my way.
9. I cannot get past my obsession with British actors. Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman, Hugh Laurie, Collin Firth are simply irresistible to me. Their accents, their masculinity, their senses of humor all strike a chord in me. Plus, I love the villainy.
10. But I haven’t restricted myself to Brits. Chris Meloni, Mike Rowe, Matthew Perry and Alexander Skarsgård (the lone blonde) all make my pulse race. What do these celebrities all have in common? A great, snarky sense of humor. There ya go.
