More useless knowledge

You know you spend hours wondering about me and what kind of a person I am. Well, probably not, but here is some more useless knowledge about me that you will never need to know (and I will probably someday wish I had never told you. Yes, I mean you.)

• I have read way too many true crime books and seen too many crime shows, because I now have an irrational fear of being accused of a crime I did not commit. Every time I hear sirens my heart pounds for a few seconds before I remind myself that I have not committed any felons recently (I hope).
• I'm 5'5" which is technically considered "average" for a girl, however, I am taller than almost every girl I know, so I do not feel "average." I feel tall. I wish I were shorter.
• I can't sleep without clothes on (too much information?). No matter how hot it is, I have to wear at least a T-shirt. This comes from the fear of 1) One of my kids coming in my room and being traumatized. 2) A fire. I'm not running out into the street naked, and since my kids are my first priority, and getting dressed is not, I think the sight of their naked mother running out of a burning home is more traumatizing than a little discomfort on my part. T-Shirt. Always.
• I have a really bad potty mouth. I have stopped apologizing for it.
• I frequently apply for other jobs, even though I have a great job, because you never know when the perfect one will come along. Plus I love being offered a job and then turning it down. Feels good for at least a minute to be wanted.
• I pretty much love all foods, except there are a certain few things I do not like. Ham. Baked potatoes. Corn. Sausage. I'm not saying I won't eat them, but I don't enjoy them as much.
• I am not a sweet-eater. Again, I will eat them, but I don't enjoy them as much as say.....salty foods, cheeses, or spicy foods.
• 9 days out of 10 I will wake up between 5:55 and 5:59 a.m. It's a weird phenomenon that I have just started noticing the last few months.
• Mosquitoes love me. A lot. However, it's a more recent thing. I've decided that we either have developed some monster nuclear mosquitoes or I've developed a sensitivity to them. When they bite me it gets angry red and hard and irritated. So much for a little itch. More like a pain in the butt. I do not love mosquitoes.
• I look everything up. If I'm reading or watching TV and I don't understand something, I'll look it up. Google is my friend.
• My favorite time of the day when I read to the kids before bed. They're old enough to read to me, but for 10 minutes they indulge me and let me read to them. Dylan is almost TOO old, so 50% of the time he would rather just do his own thing, but sometimes he crawls up with us and sits back and listens. Only if it's convenient for him, of course.
