601 posts

This is my 601 st post on this blog.

I can't believe I made it this far.

I'm actually pretty proud of myself for sticking with this

and blogging as often as I have.
I plan on keeping up with this as much as I can,

and I'd really like to get into the habit of blogging

every day. ]

~

I want this to become more of a collection of

memories and stories of my life and family

than just rantings or random stuff just to fill up space.

~

My kids are amazing and they are always doing or saying something

so awesome that the world should know it... or at least the blogging world. lol

So anyway to kick off my 601st post

I thought I'd post 61 things about me, my life, and/or my family.

6 wasn't enough and 601 was too many.

so 61 it is. :)

53. we need to laugh more often.

54. I have some of the best friends b/c of blogging

55. I'd love to be a nurse, but don't think I could handle school.

but where I live isn't a good area for it.

57. I'm much more social than my husband.

59. I'm thinking this list is pretty sucky ~ b/c most of these things aren't very random.

60. I get a knot in my stomach, nearly every single time I hear my children cry when I'm not in the room with them. I always fear/think the worst. :(

61. I'm really fearful of sexual predators with my children, and other children

I know... it is a very strong fear and sometimes wonder what provokes it,

other than the sick effed up people that make me feel this way in this sometimes

crazy world we live in.

So there you have it... totally random stuff about me. No rhyme or reason to any of it, just stuff that came to me as I typed the list. And really probably not interesting at all. Maybe the next list I do I'll try to do x-number of INTERESTING things about me. :P

CHEERS to 601!
