This is part of 30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.

- 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.

- 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.
Mandy Carter says
I 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
You gave me a new blogging idea, Christina.:) I had fun reading random facts about you!
Jenni E. says
Hahaa! 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
Oh no, I can’t stand those big booms in thunderstorms! I especially hate when a large clap wakes me up!
Robin Rue says
I 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
What a fun reflection activity! Maybe I will try it. I was going to name my daughter Veronica.
Debbie Lamb says
I 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
I could eat mac and cheese by the bucketful! I laugh a lot when I’m nervous too!
mail4rosey says
How 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
My husband’s mom (Charlie calls her Nanny) babysat me when I was a baby.
Christina Shirley says
Check out the whole 30 Things post 🙂
The Rebel Chick Jenn says
Don’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
I love thunderstorms too! I could sleep right through one. I love cuddling up in bed and listening to the rain.
SippyCupMom says
I love learning more about other bloggers! I LOVE thunderstorms too. The bigger, the better.
Brandy says
I 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
This 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
Married on a Monday, interesting!
Do you have a post on this 8 hour date? I’m intrigued!
Amanda Her says
I 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
nice list and great idea. you should put those in a scrapbook
Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT. says
#1 is me too, ha! My husband and I also got married on a Monday!
Christina Shirley says
It was 7 years yesterday since that date. I think I might write up a little blurb about it 🙂
Christina Shirley says
What date?
Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT. says
6/22/09 =) 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
8.9.10 happened to be a Monday and a fun date. We went all out and the place /i wanted was literally thousands less on Monday 😉
brett says
99% of clowns are creepy. it’s ok. you are not alone. promise.
traceynicole says
I could also easily eat mac and cheese everyday!!! However, I think my body would hate me for it!
Sue says
Driving a mini van in high school is way better than having no vehicle at all. Your list is very cute! Thanks for posting!
Debi@The Spring Mount 6 Pack says
I love your list. It is a such a great idea.
Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT. says
Love that date!
Kecia says
Great list for your kiddos to learn about when they are older. I could eat Mac & Cheese every day too!
jaimemckee says
Such a great list! My husband and my first date was also long – 8ish hours. It was just meant to be!
Amy Desrosiers says

Krystal says
I wanted a Jasmine when I was little too! I had a friend named Nimzaj which was Jazmin backwards. How funny!
shellthings says
I didn’t think I’d know what to do with boys, either. But I love being a boy mom!

Paige T. says
Great facts! I’m also awful at house work. lol

I hate wearing socks and shoes as well lol. I don’t understand why you always have to wear them!
pierajolly says
Love this! I’m with you on #4 –
I hate wearing socks and shoes too!
A Mom's Take says
I love this list. This will be so fun for your kids to look back on. I got married on a Monday, too!
TheNewClassy says
People chewing with their mouths open is a pet peeve of mine, too. And my daughter is freaked out by clowns.
Alissa says
I love reading these kinds of posts. It’s fun to learn some not-so-common facts! And ditto to #16!
Janeane Davis says
It was interesting to read this list and to get to know you a little better.
