"Dirty Laundry"

Well I stole this from Terrance and Laura's blog. I think it is cute though and I loved reading hers. So here it goes

OK... so this one is called "Dirty Laundry" and it is about 7 things that are quirky about yourself. So here goes. I hope you all still love me after you read about my habits:

1. I clean the sink when I am mad. CRAZY huh! It doesn't matter how clean it was to begin with I scrub and scrub until it shines when I am frustrated. It doesn't help that a dirty sink drives me crazy as it is but it gets very clean when I am in one of those moods.

2. I am very sensitive to smells. I don't know how I am raising kids with this "issue" but I have plug ins all over my house and I usually have a candle burning, when I am home for longer periods of time. It is funny I can walk into my house and smell something and I can't relax until I find the smell and get rid of it. Scott thinks I am crazy because he usually can't smell anything. I love coming home to a house that smells good!

3. This one everyone already knows but I am soooo impatient! My poor kids!! I have the shortest fuse on the planet. The slightest thing can get me going. I am trying really hard to stop stressing and relax more but it is so hard. The four kids really like to test this one I was not cut out to raise 4 kids especially 3 girls. I am trying though...

4. One of my new "issues" is that I get so bored with the same dinner all the time. So, poor kids again, I try a new recipe, or 2, every week. Sometimes this is great because the meals turn out really good but then there are those times that I wish we had the money to throw the meal out and go buy something for dinner. We have had to do that a few times but it isn't cheap. I plan out my dinners for the week on Friday or Saturday and we go grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday. This helps save money, except when I mess up the meal and we have to buy dinner... LOL!

5. This one my kids hate! I hate having a dirty house. But it doesn't end with dirty I hate clutter!! I have relaxed a little on this because of the kids but I am so bad that if you move my nick-knacks I can tell. If you move my pictures I can tell. Everything has a spot and I freak out if you move it. This is one of my worst "issues" I get so mad at my kids for having a dirty room or not cleaning up after themselves I hate myself for it. Like I said I am better then I use to be but I still some major counseling.

6. This one everyone knows also. My mom and Scott get so mad at me over this. I have a serious self esteem issue. I have never been happy with the way I look. It doesn't matter if I am 100 lbs or 150 lbs I am never happy. I look at myself in the mirror and all I see is "icky". I can be wearing a size 3 and still think I am fat. The scale could say 10 lbs and I would think I am fat. I thought as I get older this would change, but oh no it just gets worse.

7. Ok one more to go.. Let's see, well since it is called dirty laundry I might as well use this one. I won't let anyone help me with the laundry. I am so picky on how my cloths are washed. I don't worry to much about Scott's or the kids they can do their own laundry; but my cloths, I am so picky with. Scott just gave up and won't touch the laundry. It is ok though I don't mind doing the laundry I just hate putting it away. I can do laundry all day and I don't even mind folding the cloths I just hate putting them away.
