Mommy Brain

Found this meme at Carolina Rags and since I can’t think of anything brilliant to post about, here goes:

Accent: I don’t think I have one – born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.

Bible Book that I like: Hard to choose, but probably Romans. I find something new every time I read that book.

Chore I don’t care for: It would be easier to find one I do like, since I hate most chores. I guess the worst would be laundry.

Dog or Cat: Neither – I’m not an animal person, though we did break down and get the kids a hamster a few months ago.

Essential Electronics: My computer and my Palm that my hubby bought me for Christmas. It has my brain in it – addresses, calendar, grocery list, to-do list.

Favorite Cologne: Nokomis – but I’m out right now.

Gold or Silver: Silver

Handbag I Carry Most Often: I only have one – a black, basic purse. When I get some extra money, though, I’d like one from Randi’s store.

Insomnia: Yep – only lately with this endocrine problem. But my doctor prescribed some good meds, so most nights are okay.

Job Title: Wife, Mom

Kids: Natalie – 9; Noah – 8 next month; Jonathan – 6; Josiah – 4

Living Arrangements: Kevin and I and the kids and Lucy, our hamster

Most Admirable Trait: Not sure if this is the trait I admire in others, or the most admirable trait I have. In others, I admire gentleness.

Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: I don’t remember being disobedient much until I was in high school, though I do remember one particularly hard spanking for giggling and chatting my way through mass – we were Catholic until I was 12.

Overnight Hospital Stays: Tonsillectomy as a child, two regular child births, two cesarean births, gall bladder surgery, and staying over with Noah when he was 16 months old and had croup.

Phobias: Spiders

Quote: This quarter’s Bible study on Nehemiah keeps reminding me of Winston Churchill’s famous quote: “Never, never, never give up.”

Religion: Christian

Siblings: Three sisters – all younger.

Time I Wake Up: 6:30am to 7:00am

Unusual Talent or Skill: I can recite the alphabet backwards very quickly. Learned it in 5th grade and never forgot how.

Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Peas – can’t even stand to smell them!

Worst Habit: Procrastination

X-rays: A couple on my ankles after my sprains last year.

Yummy Stuff I Cook: Kevin loves my homemade spaghetti sauce and always stuffs himself when I make it.

Zoo Animal I Like Most: Flamingos

Okay, you know the drill – if you do this on your site, let me know so I can come read your answers!
