This is part of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.
- I’m awful at doing housework.
- My first date with Daddy was over 8 hours long.
- We got married on a Monday.
- I hate wearing socks and shoes.
- Your Nanny babysat me when I was a baby.
- I drove a mini-van for 2 years in high school.
- One of my biggest pet-peeves is people chewing with their mouth open.
- I was on Homecoming Court my senior year of high school.
- I could eat mac and cheese every day.
- When I was little I could chow down on crabs, now I eat maybe 1.
- I’ve never used drugs (and I’m sure marijuana will be legal by the time you can read this).
- I was scared I wouldn’t know what to do with little boys, but I can’t imagine anything else now.
- I played the clarinet for 6 years.
- I hate needles.
- I laugh when I’m nervous.
- There’s something about adult clowns that freaks me about a little.
- I’ve lived in Cecil County my entire life.
- I love thunderstorms- the kind with really big booms and lots of lightning.
- The first time I had surgery was Charlie’s c-section.
- When I was little I told everyone I would name my future daughter Jasmine.

February 9, 2014 at 9:17 PMI really like this idea. And my f#1 would be the same as yours, of all the things I do well, housework is not one of them! LOL
Pauline Cabrera says
February 10, 2014 at 12:43 AMYou gave me a new blogging idea, Christina.:) I had fun reading random facts about you!
Jenni E. says
February 10, 2014 at 12:54 AMHahaa! I love random fact posts! I’m totally with you on #1 #15 and #18! You have me beat on #19 though. I had a C-section but it wasn’t my first surgery. My first one was when I had my wisdom teeth cut out. Actually, I don’t know if you should consider that a surgery when you compare it to a C-section, haha!!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
February 10, 2014 at 2:11 AMOh no, I can’t stand those big booms in thunderstorms! I especially hate when a large clap wakes me up!
Robin Rue says
February 10, 2014 at 5:27 AMI don’t mind people chewing with their mouth open half as much as I mind the sound effects that some people make when they eat. Loud chewing drives me up the wall!!
Susanna Barbee says
February 10, 2014 at 5:39 AMWhat a fun reflection activity! Maybe I will try it. I was going to name my daughter Veronica.
Debbie Lamb says
February 10, 2014 at 6:04 AMI too could eat Mac & Cheese everyday. I don’t think I could ever get tired of it! Does not matter what type – box or homemade it all taste delicious to me. Nice list of you info…it makes a very nice post.
NJ @ A Cookie Before Dinner says
February 10, 2014 at 6:43 AMI could eat mac and cheese by the bucketful! I laugh a lot when I’m nervous too!
mail4rosey says
February 10, 2014 at 7:37 AMHow fun that your nanny is babysitting your little! I picked out names for my kids too, when I was little. I remember Jennifer for a girl…but that’s not what I named my daughter. 🙂
Christina Shirley says
February 10, 2014 at 7:48 AMMy husband’s mom (Charlie calls her Nanny) babysat me when I was a baby.
Christina Shirley says

The Rebel Chick Jenn says
February 10, 2014 at 8:23 AMDon’t worry, clowns freak me out a little too! It’s probably from watching the Stephen King’s IT movie when I was a kid!
♡ Toodies Momma ♡ says
February 10, 2014 at 8:58 AMI love thunderstorms too! I could sleep right through one. I love cuddling up in bed and listening to the rain.
SippyCupMom says

Brandy says
February 10, 2014 at 10:38 AMI love this idea of a list of things our kids should know about us. Loving it so much that I may have to do this myself!
Kenda says
February 10, 2014 at 11:01 AMThis is a great idea. I see lists often, but this is the first one I’ve seen done just for the kids. What a great idea to add to a baby book as well.
Melanie Hoffert says
February 10, 2014 at 11:03 AMMarried on a Monday, interesting!
Do you have a post on this 8 hour date? I’m intrigued!
Amanda Her says
February 10, 2014 at 11:48 AMI actually cried when I heard I was having a boy – so I can totally relate. I had no clue what I would do with one. Now I couldn’t be happier – I’ve found my groove with raising a little boy. 🙂
Veronica Spriggs says

Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT. says

Christina Shirley says
February 10, 2014 at 12:23 PMIt was 7 years yesterday since that date. I think I might write up a little blurb about it 🙂
Christina Shirley says
February 10, 2014 at 12:23 PMWhat date?
Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT. says
February 10, 2014 at 12:25 PM6/22/09 =) We got married at the courthouse, since we didn’t have the money for a big wedding, already had our oldest, and was pregnant with our now four year old. Monday was cheaper than the weekend. =P
Christina Shirley says
