I stole this from Erika’s blog but I’m not linking to the thingy. 10 thing that freak me out:

1. Losing a kid. I would rather my child die than to lose one. Forget them or them get kidnapped. We have left GG in the mall accidentally. I couldn’t deal with leaving a child and someone getting them. I still cringe at the day we left GG. I would have to be put away if I didn’t know where my child was or what was happening. I would rather them die.

2. Maw Maw dying. I wont be able to handle that day. She is my biggest supporter. Whew. My kids would have an equally hard time. I am NOT looking forward to it.

3. Tragic car wreck. I can’t imagine. One car wreck could leave us with several horrible varying situations. Ahhhhhh! Imagine having to tell our kids that one of them died or would never talk again or walk again. Whew. And then you have to think of what would happen to the person you have to take care of after you die. WHEW!

4. My kids riding with other people and I haven’t checked the locks or the seat belts. I can literally visualize them opening the door and falling out on the interstate. Especially if I am behind them in another car. It causes me too much stress. I either call who ever they are riding with to verify or I wont let them ride with anyone.

5. Running over a kid. Do we see a theme here? I know.. I am crazy. But I am always worried about backing over a kid that I didn’t see. I sometimes will get out and walk all the way around the van to be sure. I never know if Ben or someone has followed me and maybe I didn’t hear them.

6. Driving over a bridge. haha. I have car fears. I am the only one that can swim. I would have to pick and choose who to save IF I could even get myself out. I am not that great of a swimmer. Danny would definitely not make the list. He would fight and panic so bad we would all die. And then I think, well, then I will just die with them all to avoid any pain. But then I think, is that suicide? Would I go to hell making a choice like that? I seriously play this out in my mind a lot. Of course, now Toby and Caetie can swim fairly well but in a lake or something it is MUCH more difficult than in a pool!

7. Government take over… China or something crazy taking over the US or even Marshall Law where they dictate everything that is going to happen. Homeland War. I fear being separated from my children or Danny actually having to fight and us being separated.

8. Spiders. Let’s lighten this up some. Fastly scampering spiders FREAK me out! I go into jittering panics at the sight of a spider.

9. Snakes. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… they give me the heebee-jeebeez! I have seen several out in the wild and it never fails to freak me out for the rest of my time outside. EEK!!! I can’t walk through tall grass without my heart racing! Especially if it is lightly brushing my ankles! AHHHHHHH!!!!

10. Physical touch. UGH! I hate when people touch me. Sometimes even my kids. If they rub or do something just right it goes all over me. UGH! I hate to be touched. Back rubs, long handshakes with gazing eyes. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I want to punch someone. haha.

Okay, now that my day is ruined by thinking of all the traumatic things that could happen. I need to finish laundry. I certainly wont be getting in my car today!

I got tagged.

Here’s how you play:

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment (you’re it) and to read your blog. You can’t tag the person that tagged you. Since you can’t tag me back, let me know when you’ve posted your blog so I can see your answers.

1. I need a new purse but am too cheap to get one.

2. I just bought a new bra last month but it is already worn out.

3. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and I be skurd.

4. Smells gross me out. I hate to be around weird smelling people. Danny is starting to annoy me with his smells.

5. I have a headache from stress and probably a little depression. I need some sunlight (and money).

6. Sometimes I hate blogging and find it tedious but then a few weeks later I like it again and do it way too much. LOL! I am like that with everything though.

7. My favorite movie is the Labyrinth. I wanted to be just like Jennifer Connelly when I grew up. Her room, her life, everything… I even named one of my kids Toby. And sometimes I wish the Goblin King would come take him away. HAHA!

8. Sometimes I question everything and it scares me so I try to change my minds subject. I have always done it. I use to think everyone knew what I was thinking and just playing along with life to see what I would do as a big joke. I use to try and trick people with my mind to see if they would talk and get busted. Of course.. I also thought my stuffed animals talked and played when I left my room and I would try and sneak in on them. I think I have issues, don’t you?

9. I want to move to Mt Juliet.

10. I neglect myself.

My ten:
Rachel – because you haven’t been blogging much!
Erika – because you need motivation to blog something.
Kasey- because you didn’t wish me happy birthday and I wanted to tell everyone!
Momma- cause you need to get your mind off money.

Momma said:

I think we should start a new game: It would be a game of reverse tag, you give your friend a list of mutual friends and say 8 randoms thoughts or impressions of that friend. Mostly positive, but if they can handle it be honest about quirks or faults. Ok Wendy you start it. I tag you and you have to say 8 things about. Erika, Tam, Vicky, Danny, Caetie, Yvonne.
