I like to help, but I don’t know how! I know that sounds weird, but it is true. I have a huge desire within my heart to reach out and help others. Unfortunately,I have to be told what needs to be done to help. I want details so that I do it right, but by the time I get all the details, it would have been easier for the one giving the details to have done the task instead of telling me how to do it.

I am getting better at noticing what needs to be done and just doing it, but I always have that fear in the back of my mind that  it will be done all wrong, and that I wasn’t a help after all. And around and around we go!

I highly dislike laundry, but I insist on doing it. I am weird about my laundry. I don’t like doing it but would rather do it than have someone else do it wrong. Yes, it is crazy, but it seems to be the story of my life.

I would rather do all the work myself than take the time to teach someone else to do it. Yes, this needs to change. Now that I have 5 children, it really HAS to change. It has to change for my sake, but most importantly, for the sake of my children. They must learn to do all these things that I do in order to do for themselves in the future, and I have to learn to accept a less than perfect job as they are learning. 😐

Does anyone else struggle with this one?

I like to travel. We just went on a vacation that most people would consider insane! We flew to Las Vegas, not to gamble but because it is the cheapest place to fly into.  Then we left Vegas and headed on a road trip covering Nevada, California, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

We drove quite a bit on this trip, but I had a blast! We even discovered by experience when each of us could stay awake the longest and settled into a pattern of driving. Now, due to this heavy duty driving vacation, I have now visited 40 states!!

Believe it or not, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the time I got to spend with my husband on our vacation! Of course, it had to end eventually, and I must say that I am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine! Tomorrow I get to jump in with both feet!

By the way, you will be hearing more about this trip, even if it means I have to interrupt my 100 things posts! But don’t worry! I have missed blogging and have a lot to share with you! Stay tuned…….

I could never bungee jump, sky dive, cliff dive, or do anything involving jumping off a high surface. I guess you could say I am not an adventurous person, but I just call it good sense. 🙂

Seriously, my idea of adventure is speaking in public or playing a board game that I just might lose (which describes about any game in existence). Of course, I will now contradict myself and say that despite my lack of adventure, I absolutely love theme parks, including roller coasters that go upside down!

Now, are you good and confused? Good! I like it that way! 😉

When I was 18, I went on a summer mission trip to California. I was way outside my shy comfort zone, but I realized that my comfort zone needed to shift. It was on this trip to California in 1996 that brought me out of my extreme shyness. So now I can say, “I used to be very shy. Now you can’t get me to stop talking!”

I was a goody two shoes. My goal was always to please. If it was against the rules, I didn’t do it! Now, don’t you hate me? Oh well! Hopefully your curiosity will make you keep reading my 100 Things posts, despite that! 🙂

My husband taught me to cook. When I got married, there were just a hand full of meals that I knew how to cook, so he taught me. He says he got the better end of the deal because he got to train me to cook the way he likes!

Yesterday you learned that I was weird because I like to write. Today I will add that I also like to type, but typing is different from writing. I can enjoy typing my thoughts, but for some reason, I enjoy just sitting and typing pre-written jibberish on a page and also typing as something is dictated to me. Oh, no! More evidence that I am weird! Stay tuned for more!
