Lee has summoned me to divulge my quirks. Here are the rules:
1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking to them.
5. Leave a comment for each tagged blogger they’ve been tagged.
Here are a few of my quirks:
1. When I question anything about parenting or child behavior, I go to a book I have or buy a new one to consult.
2. I don’t use mops. I don’t think they clean well. I’d rather clean floors on my hands and knees….even with an entire house of hardwood and tile!
3. I have a “form” that I print for each week that has a place for the week’s menus, scheduled chores, a place to write grocery items that need to be purchased, and a general “TO DO” list for the week.
4. I can’t stand dirty feet. As a college student, I remember washing my feet in the sink in the shared bathroom at night. Now I just use the bathtub.
5. In an attempt to choose appropriate battles (and to understand a child who pursues order and predictability AND keep Ginna safe while I buckle in Jamey), I have a rather unique “get in the car” routine. It consists of opening Jamey’s door, letting Ginna climb in, letting Ginna sit in the front passenger seat while I buckle Jamey’s seatbelt, asking Ginna if she wants to buckle the top of her seatbelt (which draws her to the backseat), buckling her in (only the bottom; she does the top), and then FINALLY getting into my own seat. Any deviation from the above results in a horrendous occassion. There are parallels in several other parts of my day…
6. I like to pick up books I’ve read in the past and read a random section.
I defintely don’t have six people to tag. I actually only read three blogs, one of which is Lee’s. I tag Robin (though I imagine she had her baby today, so she may take some time in responding) and Rachel.
