Martha has started this little meme and asked us to participate, so here goes:
25 Things About Me (in no particular order!)
1. I am only 5' tall.
2. I am 40 years young.
3. I have been married for 19 years to a great guy.
4. I have two children, to whom I gave birth naturally.
5. My nickname when I was very young was Franki (my middle name is Frances).
6. I have five sisters and one brother.
7. I am from Kentucky.
8. I live in Southern Indiana
9. I have a son in the 11th grade this year, and I am starting to get really freaked out about him being on his own in the next couple of years. (But don't tell him that!)
10. I have a 10-year-old daughter who is starting to grow up and fill out, and I am starting to get really freaked out about her becoming a teenager in the next few years!
11. I am a Christian, and we are trying to raise our kids with Christian values and principals.
12. I was the editor of my high school's newspaper.
13. I worked for a weekly newspaper for three years before I was married.
14. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom, again, and loving it; but I will probably have to return to work within the next few months.
15. I (the family) have six dogs, two cats and two fish.
16. I received an award from Western Kentucky University for a poem I wrote when I was 18.
17. I am allergic to eggs.
18. I drive a Honda Accord.
19. I love to cook and take pride in it; but I don't like to ever feel that I "have" to cook, and am thankful that my husband loves to cook as much as I do!
20. I spend very little money on myself, but sometimes I spoil my kids!
21. I like things organized and am very good at being organized and helping other people be organized; but, unfortunately, I am not always so good at keeping things organized.
22. When I was a young child I was painfully bashful, and had a very hard time speaking up for myself.
23. I love to sing; my sisters and I harmonize well with one another.
24. I can play guitar, mandolin, and dulcimer.
25. My favorite pastime is reading!
Wow! That was harder than it looked!

Enjoyed reading your list. After reading other people's lists I realize I left a lot of things out that I could have said. lol Paula
OH I loved that you did this! Very interesting..
Just for the record, I too am only 5'.
So let's hold our glasses low, celebrate and make them come to our level. :)
One question though...how tall is your husband? If you don't mind my asking.

Very cool! Now I know who you are. : ) And I totally agree about the junior in high school and the other approaching high school. I get anxieties about the same exact thing! The thing is, you gotta unloosen those apron strings just a tiny little bit at a time. lol Hugs and GBU, Shelly
