25 Things About Mom

Several years back, this was a thing. I posted 25 Random Things About Jason on this blog way back then, but I just came across the one I wrote about myself. It is from February 2009, so some things have changed...most notably, there was no Matthew yet!

1) Okay, I give in. I've been tagged by this too many times to continue putting it off...


2) I am a master procrastinator.


3) I love making lists and crossing things off. Often, if I accomplish something that wasn't on my list, I'll write it down and then cross it off just to get the satisfaction.


4) I almost always finish my Christmas shopping in November.


5) I almost always send out Christmas packages in January. (see #2)


6) I have two sons, Michael Patrick and Jason Henry. Michael was stillborn in 2006 and I miss him every day. Jason was born screaming his healthy lungs out in 2007. That scream was the best sound in the whole entire universe.


7) I hate it when strangers ask me how many children I have. I usually lie and feel guilty about it later.


8) I also hate it when people refer to stillbirth as "miscarriage."


9) I am not a fantastic housekeeper, but I insist on freakish order in certain places (paperwork, DVDs, books, pantry, closets)


10) I don't mind diapers, but I HATE HATE HATE cleaning sippy cups.


11) I am a fast and frequent reader.


12) When I got engaged at 20 everyone thought I was crazy.


13) I wasn't ;)


14) I once got a D- in college (Materials Science). Which is actually pretty impressive, when you consider I showed up to 3 classes (first day, midterm, final) and didn't turn in an end-of-term project.


15) I tried the "attend 3 classes" routine in Statistics and got an A-.


16) I know the names of all the "Thomas" trains.


17) I call my Mom & Daddy every day.


18) I did not watch television on a regular basis until I married my husband.


19) I have not slept more than three consecutive hours since Jason was born.


20) I used to dance and miss it terribly.


21) I hate my husband's cat.


22) I never thought of myself as very "Mommy-ish." But it turns out I am!


23) I get my hair cut about once/year.


24) I have lived in 22 different houses/apartments.


25) If I could spend the day with any two people, I would choose Jon & Jason. I guess that makes me a lucky girl!
