Asher was brushing his teeth and Hila was in the family room telling me how dirty her feet were. I told her to go sit on the edge of the bathtub and wash them because it was past bedtime and I didn’t want to bother with a full bath. Then, I heard Asher say “I’ll clean them!” I wasn’t sure what he was talking about and then, this happened. I was feeding Hannah and told BJay to snap some pictures because I always want to remember this…

Asher, you are a sweetheart. I hope you remember to treat all women as nicely as you treat your sister!

I do like suvs. I’m easily influenced. I’ll never buy one though…

If I never had to worry about money I would probably like designer handbags. And expensive anti-aging creams.

I’m not really tolerant of other religions. Especially on the fringe weirdo ones. And being in a Muslim country is unnerving if you are a woman.

I don’t think I’m nice or quiet.

I think I might be done having kids…maybe

If you say, “Let me know if you need anything.” I won’t.

I’m not very humble. My husband tries to teach me stuff all the time and it gets on my nerves.

I may have learned more from the boring PBS shows my husband makes me watch than I did all 4 years of college.

If I have the time and money when my kids are grown, I think I’ll go to medical school.

I have started about 4 novels. Starting is easy.

I hate being on a school schedule… But I’m probably going to send both of my school age kids to school next year.

When people say my scar is looking so much better I really think they are just startled to see how bright and red it still is. (I usually wear shirts that cover it or necklaces but I’ve been wearing it proudly of late)

I have a hard time making friends.

I am freakishly intimidated by people on the phone. I hate making appointments. I will do everything in my power to avoid calling someone to ask for a favor. I put of phone calls until the last moment. And when its literally the last moment I won’t call because its rude. I have phone anxiety. I just learned this is fairly common.

I hate that I will never get an honest answer about whether or not I’m annoying.

Usually if I hate something to start I will end up loving it. Extreme emotions always gravitate to adoration. I guess I love things that make me feel.

I really don’t have a favorite child.

I eat when I’m upset.

I hate it when people say that I’m lucky that I get to stay home with my kids. Its not luck, its free agency and everyone has it…. (I just realized when I typed that that single moms might not have that choice…but honestly they aren’t who I’m talking about.)

I am a complete germaphobe.

I really am counting video games as exercise. (Wii fit, baby!)

I either dominate conversations or I don’t really participate.

I’m a long emailer.

I love giving gifts. For that reason I don’t think I’ll ever be very wealthy. :)

Its past midnight and I still have to do the dishes.
