1. I am a good listener - I really love to listen to my friends talk. I try hard to give them helpful advice. I think this is one reason one of my passions is to be a counselor. One of these days I will go back for my Master's Degree in counseling.
2. I am a good cook and baker - This has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I love to have treats for my family and I love to try new things...now, they may not always be good, but I sure do try.
3. I am the peace maker of the family - I have always been the one who wants to keep and make every one happy. Many times it is at my expense... I have learned, in the past few years, to be better at trying to make myself happy before trying to make others. But it is a hard habit to break!
4. I am a Breastfeeding and Preemie Parenting advocate - Breastfeeding is something I feel very passionate about. I did not breastfeed Kade, due to having NO support from my family. I regret that decision more than anything else. When Blake was born premature, I could have cared less what my family thought about breastfeeding...best decision I ever made :) I feel very strongly about it...Also, when Blake was in the NICU, I had no one to talk to who had been in my situation. This was very hard for me. I would love to talk to other mothers struggling during their NICU time...but since we don't have a NICU up here, I have to do it online....
5. I am a very social person - Anyone who knows me, knows this is true. I think I could talk to a brick wall if I had to. I am happiest when I am socializing with friends and family. I love a good conversation and I am rarely at a loss for words :)
6. I am very forgetful - Holy Cow...what has happened to my brain? I think I would forget my head if it was not attached. I am forgetful and I lose everything! It is quite rediculous....
7. I am very self-consious - I hate this about me. I wish I could be happy in my skin, but I have always been plagued by my low self-esteem...mainly with weight issues...
8. I am a person who can get by with very little sleep - I have always been this way. Even in college, I would stay up really late and get up early for work. I can function just fine on very few hours of sleep...I guess that is one of the reasons I am a decent Mom...
9. I am a home body. I love to be home with my family. Many times my mom will ask me to go to the movies with her. Honestly, I would rather stay home with my husband and kids. I hate driving the long 24 mile drive to Pickford at night and you will never catch me out and about when it is snowing. Some people think I am boring. I think I like safety and routines.
10. I am an organizational nightmare! I am not kidding...I try so hard and it always goes back to things falling out of my cabinets. I feel sorry for Larry. See, he is an Engineer. He is percise, everything has a spot, and he is very organized. He has had to learn to live with me...and I feel bad. I try so hard, but it overwhelms me so much that I run from it. This year, I have devoted my life to organizing:) Stay tuned for progress notes on this subject!
So, these are just a few of the things I am! If you know me, and I am forgetting something (refer back to #6) please feel free to leave a comment about it...I would love others perspectives of me!
Until Next Time,
Shelby
