Top 10 things you should know about me:

#1 - I love my family.  I have an awesome husband and 3 wonderful kids that drive my crazy on a regular basis.  They are also 3 of the most loving kids that I know.

#2 - I love my friends.  I will do my best to do whatever I can for them.  They are my family.

#3 - I don't feel like I am old enough to be a mom.  I am younger then most moms I meet and sometimes that freaks me out and makes me feel like maybe I'm not to good at being a mom because I'm not as mature as other moms.

#4 - I love to read!  I am a book addict.  I have my favorite authors, but I am pretty much open to any type of book.  As long as it has a good hook and the story keeps moving, I'll read it.

#5 - I love cartoons!  I have seen every Disney cartoon movie and I'll watch them a million times more.  My kids have gotten me hooked on Phineus and Ferb, the Backyardigans and Curious George. 

#6 - I like being part of a group.  I don't really like to be by myself.  I'm not saying I'm a follower and I'll go along with everyone else, but I like the company. 

#7 - I'm trying to eat better and get healthy.  I am technically considered "obese", but I know I look fairly normal for my height.  I just don't feel as healthy and I could.  I want to be able to run around and play with my kids instead of watching them do it.  I am trying to figure out the best time for me to work out (I love the Wii Fit system! I am hoping to get the Wii Active "game" soon and I am trying to go on a fairly long walk every evening)  I want to be a good example for my kids.

#8 - I hate doing the dishes and any type of cleaning that takes more then about 10 minutes.  I do like things neat  and put away, but I'm not obsessive about it.  I would rather spend an extra hour playing and spending time with my kids then doing the dishes while they watch a movie.  I figure I can do that kind of stuff when they're asleep and I get a lot of grief about that from my mom.  I have taught my kids to put their toys away and clean up after themselves, but I don't make them put their toys back in the exact same place.  I figure that as long as the toys are in the TOY box, that's good enough.  I get grief for that too.  I want my house to look lived in and not like a museum.

#9 - I love animals!  I am a dog person, but I like the big jungle cats.  Tigers are one of my favorites.  I also love horses, dolphins, bears and just about every other animal out there.  I'm not a fan of snakes (they just kind of freak me out), but I believe that every animal has its purpose.

#10 - I am a FRIENDS fanatic!  Probably not as fanatic as some people, but definitely more then others.  I have seen every episode, gotten every trivia book I could find and I also have the cookbook.  Watching that show brings back happy memories of watching it with my friends and has gotten me through 3 pregnancies.  :-)
