I've Been Tagged..... By Laura

Here's the rules:
A. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
B. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog, for these rules.

1. When I was 3 years old I ran my Mom over with our car. She was 9 months pregnant, and it was the middle of winter. She'd gone to get the mail, and I got in the drivers seat and pulled the car in reverse, she tried to stop the car, and got pulled under. Luckily the car ran over her legs and not her belly, so that my little brother Derek was o.k. I've always felt bad about that, even though I was only 3, and my Mom reassures me it wasn't my fault. I know it's a sad story, but I think it's interesting, and it's definitley a fact.

2. I'm a shopaholic in every way, but probably not the way you're thinking. I love to shop Garage Sales, KSL Classifieds, Online Deals, Clearance racks. I totally got hooked on yardsaling this past summer, and went pretty much every Saturday. Truth be told, probably 80% of my kids wardrobes are from KSL or Yardsales, I know what you're all thinking DISGUSTING!!!! But I'm convinced that they are dressed nicer than ever since I started shopping at yardsales.

3. I'm a freak!!!! O.K. let me explain, my nightly routine before I can go to bed consists of checking on all 3 of my girls, I make sure they are breathing (sometimes I have to wake them up in the process), I check their windows, under their beds, inside their closets, and then check them all again, just to make sure. Then I make sure every window, and door in the house is locked, I also check the hall closet, the coat closet, and the garage, and sometimes I check 2 or 3 times. Then I check in my shower, in my closet, and before hopping in bed, I check my own window and under my bed. My husband thinks I'm insane, but he's come to terms with it. Then often times while lying in bed, I ask myself, "Did I check the stove or did I check the sliding door" If I'm not sure, I get up and check. Not to mention I have boards in every single window in my house, thanks to my husband who made them for me, so I could have peace of mind. Kent always asks what I'm going to do when I find someone in the closet, I'm not quite sure on that, probably kick them in the groin!!!
So my next question would be, is anyone else as insane as I am???????

4. When I was like 10 or 11, my 3 brothers used to beat me up quite often. Well, one day when my Mom was gone running errands, my brothers were chasing me around the house trying to pounce on me to beat me up. Why? I can't remember, I was probably pestering them or something, but they were pretty cruel. Anyways, I ran into my Mom's bathroom and locked it just in time. Then I climbed out the window onto the deck in their bedroom. Well my brothers saw me on the deck, so I only had one choice but to jump. I'm not quite sure how high it is, but probably atleast 12 feet. So I jumped. Well they ran outside and caught me on the driveway. They all 3 sat on me and started punching me. My Mom drove up as this was happening. She was soooooooooooooo mad, she got a belt, and made all my brothers pull down their pants, and let me whip them as many times as I wanted. I was crying because I felt so bad, and by the time I got to my littlest brother Jared, I couldn't do it, and told my Mom I didn't want to whip him, so he got off easy. So this is a huge joke in our family now, and we all laugh about it now, and also I'm great friends with all my brothers now, just in case you were wondering. But Boy do I have stories to tell, my Mom wonders how I ever survived, without needing counseling or something.

5. I'm a clean freak - I can't leave my house dirty, I can't go to bed with a dirty house, and I guess you could say I'm a bit OCD in this matter. I'm also a huge De-junker. I take huge loads to the D.I. about every month. That's why my husband can't figure out why I like yardsales so much. He said he feels like he's married to his Mom. I told him, you know what they say, you usually marry someone like your mom :) :)

6. And last fact but not least, I love to dance. Once again probably not in the way you are thinking. Although, I was a cheerleader in Middle School, and on Drill Team in Highschool, I wouldn't say I'm a great dancer anymore if I ever even was, but my favorite past time is to blast Music in my kitchen and dance with my kids and hubby. I've always wished I was black, because I love their rhythm. Just ask my husband, he'd probably tell you I try real hard to bust a move, like a black person. I've also always wished that I could dance like they do on the Movie Dirty Dancing. In Fact, I sometimes make my husband "FREAK" with me. As they called it in Highshchool. No, I never "Freaked" with anyone in highschool, but it's o.k. now that I'm married right? Also, Kent and I met country dancing, and I have to say, he is such a good country dancer. I love his butt in wranglers, and I always tell him he better keep dancing with me, because that's why I fell in love with him.

O.K. I totally feel like I've let it all out!!!! So sorry if I gave too much information

I'm going to tag: Mimi, Erin, Robin, Jamilyn, and Alisha McDonald. That's all the blogger friends I have, that haven't been tagged yet.
