Here are the rules: You pick the 4th picture on the 4th file on your computer.

Seeing as how Don moved all of my files onto the upstairs computer, I selected this picture off of my cameras files. It's of Nolan and Carlee in the tub together. Although it isn't my favorite of them in the tub, it catches Nolan's cute smile and Carlee mid-yelling. Classic!

7 Random/Weird Facts About Me

1. Although I've tried to participate in local Blood Drives, each time I go I get turned away! I've always just had surgery, was pregnant, or was nursing. Knowing that I have such a common blood type, it just kills me that I can't help!

2. I have become quite a diagnostic medical mother. For about the last year, I've been able to look at my kids/husband and know exactly what was wrong before going to the Dr and getting it confirmed. Strep, the Flu, broken toes, spider bites... I'm a pro! I think I actually learned a lot from having a nurse for a mother.

3. I still bite my nails and have passed this "nervous twitch" on to Brennan and Nolan, who both like to nibble/chomp down their nails too! When I really focus, I can quit for a few months, but then I go back to old habits.

4. I am a full-on teacher at heart. Whenever Brennan asks me a question about science, I don't just tell him the shortened version; we get into a full on discussion and sometimes a demonstration as well. Our latest science topic: Condensation on glasses/Dew on the grass. Scary huh?

5. I really like to bake! Muffins, bread, cinnamon rolls... if it can be put in the oven, I'm all for trying to make it. I'm not Betty Crocker yet, but I'm getting there.

6. Since graduating from high school, I have not spent two consecutive yearly holidays in the same house. Example: New Years 2006-2007 in Dallas, then New Years 2007-2008 in Illinois. We just move too often to be able to spend more than a year in a place.

7. I ALWAYS do a double check of the house right before I go to bed, even if I've already made sure the doors were locked when I put the boys down. I check to make sure they boys are sleeping in a comfortable position and have a blanket, then I check all of the doors leading out of the house to be sure they are locked, then I set the alarm system. If I don't do it, I can't fall asleep. Weird!
