32..yes it is true!

Today is my birthday. I am now officially 32....when the heck did that happen? I could swear that last week I was 17. I am actually ok with being 32, it is a great age if you ask me. Last night my girlfriends took me out for a sort of surprise dinner and movie. I love these ladies. We had a great time laughing and just being good friends that give each other a hard time and yet always know that we mean so much to one another. As I get older I discover more and more about my self and see how far I have come and how far I have to go. Here are 32 things about me that you may or may not know:

1. I love to clean toilets but hate to fold and put away laundry.
2. I love Cotton Candy...ate a whole bag myself at a movie with my kids (I shared a little bit)
3. I sing all the time...I am sure I can be totally annoying...but tough I will sing anyway.
4. I do not get offended easy, but I do tend to get my feelings hurt...though I try to let it go quickly. No use to hanging onto bad feelings.
5. I love to keep in contact with people and I have a good memory for people and their names and run into random people I know in random places.
6. I do not believe in coincidences...every thing happens for a reason or a greater purpose.
7. I feel a big responsibility to help take care of all my family members.
8. Sometimes I wish I could say exactly what I think, but I am glad that most times I do not as it is usually not very nice and would not help the situation.
9. I HATE confrontation.
10. I have learned to not care so much about how clean my house is when friends come to visit...they come to see me not my house.
11. I have discovered that forgiveness is healing
12. I believe that kindness can help any situation
13. I am terrified to raise teenagers
14. I am great at finding deals, shopping on a tight budget and I love the "high" from saving money when I shop.
15. I love little children
16. I do my best brainstorming while I am in the shower, some of my greatest ideas came about because of my needing to be clean.
17. I love that my house tends to be the gathering place for my friends and their children.
18. "The More the Merrier" is what I live by.
19. "Equal Opportunity Kitchen" is also what I live by...unless it comes to cooking, then you better just let me do it...you can eat it when I am done...I am working on this one.
20. I love to plan events..love, love, love it!!!!
21. I swore I would not yell at my kids before I had kids...yup that did not last long.....but I am working on it.
22. I love to people watch. It is amazing what you can learn when you just observe the people around you.
23. I am just slightly addicted to checking my emails, facebook and blog...ok really addicted.
24. I am terrified of ghosts and yet intrigued all at the same time.
25. It is not a good thing for me to be idle...I need to be busy...this drives my husband crazy!
26. 16 years ago was my 16th birthday...it was awful.
27. I do not get B.O. but I have to wear deodorant or I get a rash...sorry if that was TMI, but it is true.
28. Easter is my very favourite time of year...so many good memories. I get so excited when all the Easter candy comes out...seriously like a little child.
29. I have learned that your "gut" feeling is always right.
30. I am a caregiver...I feel the need to take care of everyone all the time.
31. I am FAR from being a perfect Mom, but to my kids I am the perfect mom.
32. I am totally in crazy love with my husband.
