The Zimmer Zoo

A big thank you to Heather at Wanting What You Have for passing this one along to me. It means a lot to me since I read her (very honest) blog all the time.

As usual, there are rules that you agree to when you accept this award:

“When you receive the prize, you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in their content or design. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing that they were prized with ‘Honest Weblog’. List [if you can and/or dare] at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!”

Ten Honest Things About Myself:

1. I don’t shower every day. With 3 kids and a full-time job, I just don’t have the time to!
2. I go through life fearing that someone will “find me out” – that I’m not supposed to have a master’s degree, or that I shouldn’t really have the job I have, or I’m not really the person people think I am…Something like that. Not sure why, but there it is.
3. When I’m at work, I want to be with my kids. When I’m with my kids, I sometimes want to be at work.
4. I never feel like I fit in. There are lots of places that I go to where I have to remind myself that I really DO belong there.
5. My friends often use me as a reality check because I’m so honest with them.
6. I’m not a creative writer. Technical, sure. Autobiographical, well – you’ve seen that here. Creative, no.
7. I could sit on the couch and watch TV (with my computer so I could blog) all day. For days. And not be bored at all.
8. I’m a life time member of the Girl Scouts. There was a time in my life when I was embarrassed to say that I was in the Girl Scouts – not any more! I’m currently inactive though – stopped being a leader when I had the twins. I’m pretty sure I’ll be sucked back in when Maggie gets to the right age though. 🙂
9. There are times when I wonder – in passing – if I suffer from depression. I took a psychology course though, so I know from experience if I start looking up “symptoms” – every single one will apply; but it doesn’t mean that I do.
10. It’s really hard to come up with 10 honest things when my entire blog is pretty honest…
