Digging "Deep"

5 Things I've learned about myself in just 1 week:
  1. I could work ALL day and ALL night long no matter how tired I am on a project in order to get it finished right away while Bart doesn't mind to do projects over a longer time period.  I need to realize, aka not freak out,  that people don't work the same way, and it's OK because it will get done regardless of the time period. 
  2. I do have a pretty amazing talent- I can play the harmonica and change diapers at the same time.  I "discovered" this talent while being incredibly frustrated with Max's current stage of:  will NOT hold still AT ALL to put his diaper on.  I saw a toy harmonica on the floor next to us, so I grabbed it and played.  Max is truly amazed by his mama's skills, and I continue to "play" it every diaper change. 
  3. I have an addiction.  I seem to love holiday decor items a little too much.  When the movers were bringing in our labeled boxes, I just kept reading:  X-mas decor, X-mas Decor, Fall Decor, Valentine Decor, X-mas decor.  This is a problem, and I have banned myself from buying any more holiday decor, unless it's 90% off like I usually buy it. 
  4. I use odd phrases while talking to myself around the house or in the car.  I realized they were odd when I heard my 2.5 year old daughter using my same phrases.  "Oh stink-a-doodle!"  or "Max is a silly willy nilly."  Why on earth would those words even come out of my mouth, and how did they even get into my mind in the 1st place?!? 
  5. I can drive through the Wendy's drive through  with a U-Haul trailer and not take anything out or curb check.  Apparently I learned this from the time I almost gave my Dad a heart attack when I incorrectly pulled something with a tractor and the chain snapped in half.  Whoops at the time, but at least I learned from it! :)
