So I've been tagged by my friend April to tell you 8 things you didn't know about me... here's my attempt.
1. I am a perfectionist. So while this is great because it makes me do things really well, it is also one of my greatest flaws. See, if I can't do something 110% I tend not to do it at all. Like cleaning the house, if I don't have time to do a super job, then I don't really want to try. It also makes it tough to appreciate Ernie because if he doesn't do something as well as I would have, then it's like he didn't do it.
2. I love to sing and dance, but can't do either well, AT ALL. I'm totally in the closet on this one. At my house Abby and I sing all the time and dance- but I can't really do it in front of people I don't know well. Especially since I have no rhythm. Remember pep club anyone? And I feel really bad that I'm teaching Abby my uncoordination. She loves to sing and dance as well, maybe she'll get her father's genes.
3. I love to scrapbook. I love to show my albums off. I feel I'm pretty creative with this one. And I actually do it too. I have 4 pages to do when Ern and were first married, and then I have to start my 2007 book- although now I guess I'm about 9 months behind.
4. I tell people too much about myself. Don't get me started on certain subjects or I'll talk your ear off- like infertility, Abby, food, etc.
5. I have been struggling with infertility for about 21 months now. They did diagnose me with PCOS, but I'm still struggling. Sometimes I think I know what I want to do, other times I'm lost. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but I don't seem to have enough in me to keep trying.
6. I stink at being a stay at home mom. Since we moved here I haven't worked. We had fun, I just never cleaned or cooked. I think Abby also watched too much TV and played computer. Sometimes I feel as if I'm a better mom when I can devote my time to her.
7. I love to cook, but not dinner everyday. I do love to have people over, and both Ernie and I have started to try to make more gourmet dinners, but really we don't know how. We've invested in a few cookbooks, but it is really tough to fin good ones we'll really use, any suggestions? But I don't bake- Abby doesn't know how good homemade cookies are.
8. I'll have too think of something else and edit...
So I'm tagging my sisters, Amy and Kelly. Janelle and anyone else I forgot that hasn't done one of these.

Misty, we can be PCOS buddies--did I tell you I was finally diagnosed? No big deal, just four years into it...the dumb doctors that did tests before were dumb. Anyway, don't give up! Sometimes you just have to be mad for awhile and then you can forget about it for awhile, and then you can have a good attitude about if for awhile. For me it comes in waves. I'm starting Clomid again this month, yay! And though it takes a long time, it does get easier...very gradually.
About cooking: I hate it and am of no help, but one of my best friends from St Louis has a cooking blog: www.newhousenewkitchen.blogspot.com and her stuff looks yummy enough to even get me inspired to cook!
And lastly, about being a stay at home mom: we all think we stink at it, because it's so hard to measure our success, and we don't get much feedback and definitely no recognition or praise. It's just one of those things that you have to tell yourself is a good thing to do, even though it's hard.
WOW, I'll shut up now! Maybe I should have emailed you, but whatever... :)
Good luck with your new job, it sounds really nice. Being paid what you are worth is wonderful. Good luck with your diet. I can't believe that your goal is to be skinnier than in high school. I don't think I could ever get down that much. I don't think I would be willing to give up what it takes. I read about PCOS and I can't believe that 1 in 10 women have it. My friend had it and she took herbal hormones, or something and it worked for her. I am so sorry for all the heartache you must go through.
