The 31 Day Photo Challenge, Day 20

Thanks to It's Gravy Baby and Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy I am taking part in a 31 Day Photo Challenge.  Visit either blog if you'd like to participate too.  Check out all my Photo Challenge posts here. 

 Day 20: Your biggest insecurity.

 

I know, totally unoriginal as all the other blogs taking part in this challenge have one way or another stated that weight is their insecurity as well. The fact that so many of us are insecure about it doesn't surprise me. Most of the ladies blogs that I visited, needn't be concerned about their weight as they look fantastic, but I guess it doesn't matter what the scale reads, no one likes the number. I vote we all get the scale above ;).

Day 19: A skill you’d like to learn.

Something that I want to learn to do is scrapbook. I started to get into it when I had only two kiddos and before we moved to Nebraska. After we moved my supplies laid in a box in our basement for years. I finally found them two kids and thousands of photos later. I also went all digital on our pictures, so printing them out was a bit of a hassle. I don't print out any pictures unless I need them for something. Maybe I should try my hand at digital scrapbooking, when I have time for it lol!

Day 18: Something you are afraid of.

 

I am not afraid of too many things, long gone are the days that I would run and jump from the light switch to the bed esp after watching a scary movie, and I can now enter any (finished) basement without visibly flinching or getting chills. I guess two things that still unnerve me are being trapped somewhere. I couldn't watch the movie Buried or any of the Saw movies.


Another thing that I am afraid of is a reoccurring nightmare that I have where all of the kids are in the car and it is about to explode, I don't remember dreams easily so I am not sure why, just know that it is and I am unable to get all of the kids out. I have two in car seats, but to get to those kids I would have to let out the other 4 that sit in the back. Even if I have one of the kids get Kira, I would still have to wait for the others to get out before getting Jonas. I dislike nights when that particular dream comes up, it is very hard getting back to sleep afterward.

Please help!

I don't normally do this, but if you all could vote for Kira in this photo contest, I would appreciate it. Just like Lex Logan Photography and like Kira's photo.

Day 17:Are you named after anyone?

I am not named after a specific person, but a song. My mom loved the song Sheila by Tommy Roe and after 3 boys she finally got to use the name on me. I am not a fan of my name, partly because of the Ready for the World song Oh Sheila and partly because my mom named me a slang term for girl. Who names their daughter girl? LOL my mom! I did get a kick out of my name popping up in two ads during the Superbowl, the first from Cars.com and the second from AT&T.

Day 16: Your least favorite chore.

 

My least favorite chore is laundry, not washing it. I don't mind sorting, pre-treating, washing, hang drying, or drying the laundry. What I cannot stand is folding and putting away laundry, the worst however, is by far sorting socks. As you can imagine laundry for my clan builds up quickly but socks are frustrating because not only are socks lost but the girls have taken to wearing mis-matchy socks so pairing them is nearly impossible. Socks must have a twin and it drives me insane when I can't find them so sock sorting is the kids' job.

Day 15: Something that bugs you.

There are two main things that bug me, they both involve chewing.

The first is chewing with your mouth open. This drives me insane! It is about the same noise as stirring tuna when making tuna salad, in other words-gross. I sometimes feel like a shrew at the dinner table because this is one manner that I will not let up on. 

The other is smacking gum, this is a lot like chewing with the mouth open in that the noise is gross. I have had my kids throw their gum away many times for doing this lol I know I'm the mean mom! I have also changed seats at various places due to someone smacking their gum near me. It grates on my nerves, I can't really explain it other than it is my nails on a chalk board (which btw doesn't bother me at all).

 Day 14: Something I want to do before I die.

 

Something that I want to do before I die would be to surf in Hawaii. I have been to both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans many times but have yet to set my feet on a surf board. When the opportunity arose to surf I was too nervous, too shy, or even in one instance too pregnant with my oldest child. Although that would have been a sight to see! My love for the ocean, Hawaii in particular was born the first time I watched the movie The North Shore.

 

I wore out the vhs tape watching that movie. I saved allowance to purchase surfing magazines and tore out the pictures I liked and plastered my walls with them. It was also about the time that the movie came out when my parents went to Hawaii for a business convention. I am pretty sure that I stole little trinkets that my parents brought back for my brothers and wore the shirt I was given until it was thread bare and way too small (think of Friends when Ross puts on his old "Frankie says hello" shirt).  So before I die surfing a wave in Hawaii would be one thing I would love to do. It doesn't even have to be a 20 foot wave on Hawaii's famed North Shore, I will settle for a baby wave off any beach of any of the islands ;).
