Six Things About Me...

Tammy, I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your tag. Here it goes...

1. I absolutely LOVE onions! When I was little I remember pulling green onions out the garden, washing them, dipping them in a little salt and munching away. I am often guilty of over doing the onions when I cook for my family. Although, I have trained Josiah to love onions too. The first born gets all the good training.

2. My right foot has been numb for six years. I had some nerve (right L5 nerve to be exact) damage when I was pregnant with Emma. My foot has been numb ever since. It is more annoying than anything. I have to wear comfortable shoes which is no problem unless I am going to a wedding or something. Emma was worth it. She is a sweetie and doesn't get on my nerves now.

3. I gave birth to Lydia, my fourth child, in the passenger seat of my father-in-law's car. We were forced off the interstate by a police officer with his gun pointed at us. The police officer made my husband get in the back of the police car while he checked to see if I was really in labor. I was and Lydia was born about 7 minutes later.

4. Craft, Art, and Office Supply stores make me very happy! I could spend a days studying their inventory. I love being artsy and organized.

5. I have lived in seven different states...Mississippi, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Alabama. I have lived in Birmingham for 12 years. This is by far the longest I have ever lived in one place. I like it.

6. I do not enjoy writing. I would much rather be drawing, taking pictures, playing with my kids, cleaning (yes,I will gladly scrub a toilet before writing), sleeping or whatever. I hope my children love to write. They have learned to read much faster and better than I did. I hope all of them take after Sam in the reading / writing category.

Praise the Lord I am finished! Now I can go scrub the toilet...
