I saw this on another blog, and thought it'd be a fun way to make a little post. My computer has been jacked up so I have not been able to upload Deacon's one month pictures or blog about them. Anyway, here goes!
A. Age: 25 (as of yesterday)
B. Bed size: Queen, but we really want/need a King. We are both tall (I'm 5'8" & Nathan is 6'3") and we both like to sleep with our knees out, so we'd really benefit from a wider bed.
C. Chore you dislike: Yes. Oh, you mean I'm supposed to pick one? Well, I'm not so great at doing chores, and I really hate them all, but the one I have grown to hate the most is laundry because it is NEVER ending, and time-consuming. I used to hate doing dishes the most, but now I realize that in about fifteen or twenty minutes a day they are done. Not laundry. NEVER ENDING.
D. Dogs: We used to have a Pug and a Boxer, but I ruined Nathan's life and insisted that it was more important our children could crawl on the floor without getting covered in dog hair, so we are dog-less.
E. Essential start to your day: Caffeine...I really, really need to get a coffee pot now that I'm a SAHM
F. Favorite color: PINK!
G. Gold or silver: I tend to prefer silver, but I really like gold too! :)
H. Height: 5′ 8"
I. Instruments you play(ed): I played the piano growing up, but I never dedicated the time to practice that it would take to be really good at it. I also played the clarinet and bass clarinet in band from 6th-9th grade.
J. Job title: Domestic Engineer
K. Kids: Manning Parker 16 Months and Deacon Andrew 1 Month
L. Live for ______: God, Family, Friends in that order
M. Most embarrassing moment: In 4th grade playing "blind tag" with friends I ran full-speed into the brick school building. Broke my tooth and my glasses, but luckily not my nose.
N. Nicknames: kiddo, coat, mama
O. Overnight hospital stays: two children's births
P. Pet peeves: Most of these are things Nathan does: clearing his throat/hocking drainage, scratching, shaking his leg, tapping his foot (Did I mention he has ADHD?). In general I also really dislike liars, and long fingernails on men.
Q. Quote from a movie: Nathan and I are always quoting movies. Right now our favorite is from Yo Gabba Gabba "Thanks for watching my worm babies, Muno." which isn't really that funny except to us, and in the right tone of voice.
S. Siblings: I have a younger sister Kourtnie and four younger brothers-in-law- Kourtnie's husband Gavin and Nathan's three brothers Ben, Trent and Tyler.
T. Time you wake up: whenever a child or husband forces me to.
U. University attended: I graduated from Missouri Western State University with my Bachelor's and in April I'll finish my MBA from Northwest Missouri State University.
V. Vegetables: I'm trying to do a better job of eating fresh veggies. Actually, I'm going to get some baby carrots as soon as I finish this post. So what if I'm chasing them down with pop? It's better than cookies chased down with pop!
W. What makes you run late: I really hate being late, and rarely am, but if I am it's most certainly not my fault. ;)
X. X-rays you’ve had: teeth and my bad back I think is it. I've never had a broken bone.
Y. Yummy food you make: Oh man, I like to bake yummy stuff like cookies and cakes...
Z. Zoo animal favorites: I'm not a huge fan of the zoo, but I am hoping we can take Manning before Nathan leaves in June. I mean, we will take Deacon too, but I think Manning might actually enjoy it. ;) If I had to choose I am always fascinated by the polar bears and by the monkeys.
