9 Weird Things About Me:

1. I hate sandpaper and paper emery boards (I use metal.)

2. Some people stopped smoking marijuana after they met me.

3. I do natural childbirth, but need drugs at the dentist.

4. I can’t bear to see my daughter in boy clothing. I’ve tried it several times just to see if I can get over it. I lasted only a few seconds.

5. My scissors are chained to my desk. (Some of you already know this.)

6.  Racehorses make me cry. (You know this, too.)

7. When I get on the computer I go deaf. (That one is from my husband.)

8. I don’t like video games. (That one is from my oldest son.)

9. The ultimate weirdest thing about me is a grey sweater a midwife (whom I love) left at my 4^th child’s birth in North Carolina. I have been using it since, about 9 years now, and I think it is turning into a security item. I once thought I’d lost the sweater at my daughter’s ballet. I couldn’t believe my reaction, because I was unglued. After it turned up, I stopped taking it out of the house and named it in recognition of my problem.

I once got too close sitting next to the woodstove (my back hurt) and set the back of the sweater to smoking a bit (it was on fire.)  I didn’t realize it, so I said to my kids, “What’s that smell?”

They said, “Mom, you’re on fire.”

It’s only a little singed in the back on the bottom, but I still wear it.

My friend calls that our fire safety & awareness day.

I hope someone else laughed as much as I did writing this!
