How Exciting!

Thanks, Lori for passing on the fabulous blog award to me! I must say that I'm quite surprised since I've let my blogging slip a little over the last month or so. I'll make every effort to try to blog a little more so that I stay worthy of my award! Now for my 5 addictions that I must reveal in return for receiving this award. This was actually a little hard for me since I don't really consider myself addicted to anything- it took a little self examination!

1. FOOD. Yes, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I love to eat. All foods are good, but my favorites are sweets. Chocolate, cookies, candy, etc. Just ask the girls from the cake ball assembly night at April's- they saw me eating pure white chocolate that wouldn't melt right straight from the bowl. I just couldn't stand to see good chocolate go to waste! I then followed it up with several cake balls. Yes, sweets are good.

2. Reading. I don't get to read as much as I would like, but give me a good book and I can hardly put it down. I've been known to do nothing other than what absolutely had to be done so that I could finish a new book on the same day I got it. My nightly ritual before going to bed involves doing a Bible reading, a reading from a devotional, and something else from a magazine or book.

3. Organizing my kids toys. Sounds weird I know. The rest of my house can be in disarray, but I keep the toys in the playroom organized. All the trucks in one bucket, all the balls in one place, all the stuffed animals in the basket, etc. I may not know where my checks are, but I know where any given toy is at almost any time!

4. Trying to keep everybody happy. I guess this is more of a personality trait, but I always try to keep things running smooth for everybody. I go out of my way to avoid conflict and try to plan ahead so that things go smoothly. It would kill me to think that I ever hurt someone's feeling or made them unhappy in any way. I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make my husband and kids happy.

5. Bloggs and Facebook. Obviously I'm not keeping up with my own as much as I should, but I love checking everybody else's daily. If I ever miss a day, I feel like I'm out of touch with what's going on! Since most of the blogs I follow are friends who are moms at home with kids like me, it's fun to see what everybody else's day has been like.

There you have have it- 5 addictions that I've confessed to. Now it's time for me to pass this prestigious award on to 5 fellow bloggers:

1. Emily S.

2. Dawn G.

3. Jenny J.

4. Amanda N.

Have fun with it, girls, and enjoy your award!
