4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
Okay, you asked for them...
1. I HATE dirty floors. Hair, food, grass...you name it, if it is on the floor I hate it! I vacuum and sweep at least once a day. I hate to see hair on the bathroom floor collecting with dust in the corners...uggh...it makes me shudder. Honestly, if my floors are vacuumed, I feel like I have a relatively clean house...just don't check for dust...
2. I like to have a clean, tidy house, but I'm awful at putting things away. I don't mean straightening up toys and such, but once I finish washing all my dishes and let them dry, I am hard pressed to put them in the cupboards. It is SUCH an effort. I am fabulous at working hard and getting my laundry done, but the clothes that air-dry on the clothes rack...hmmm...let's just say I am working on it. I was good this week and got them all put up the next day, but last week, well...they were "drying" for a good 4 days. I know! If I go through so much effort to clean everything, why can't I just expend a little more and make everything even tidier?...I don't know...just thinking about it makes me tired...
3. I love to pick peeling sunburned skin. Truly! I love the feeling of pulling it. Kind of gross, but at least I'm not obsessed with pus like my husband.
4. I won't put my children in character clothes. I don 't like them. I think they're tacky. I might buy their wardrobes at a thrift store, but I won't stoop so low as to put them in tacky Tigger outfits. Harsh, huh! Sorry for those of you who do, I don't judge you, I just won't. Really, I don't think anything of it on others...in fact Steph has a really cute tees for her boys she bought from the Disney store while here. I just think uggh...when I dress them on my boys. So, if I am ever graced with a daughter, you will not be seeing her in Ariel and Belle shirts while I am on duty! While I am at it, I hate my boys without undershirts. I think they look like they have scrawny necks and I don't like to see collar bones on boys...I'm awful, I know. Don't tell my babies I think they have scrawny necks...
5. I don't like people helping me. I love to help people, but I hate it returned. This is something I'm working on, 'cause everyone NEEDS help including me, but it is SO hard to accept. I don't like my mom doing my dishes, I don't like people buying me things (except gifts, I LOVE gifts!) and heaven forbid someone touches my laundry!!!! I really need to overcome this one, because it is good for my boys to see both sides of service.
6. Food makes me HAPPY! It does! Hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a large bag of PB M&Ms, Panera Bread, Lowland boil with spicy shrimp, potatoes, crawfish and sausage, crispy hot french fries and a fabulous slab of med-rare steak. My mouth is watering and just thinking of my favorite things brings a smile to my mugg. Just call me Creme Puff!
Okay, I tag Jenny, Sandy, Andrea, Coty, Haylee and Jill

What happens to the game if most of my quirks are the same as yours?
i loved this..i vaccumn my floors all the time also. you are great...i loved reading this.
I too hate putting things away after they're clean (dishes, laundry, etc.). I won't dress my kids in character clothes either. It just looks cheap, somehow, on my kids...gee...you think we're sisters. However, I do agree that you definitely need to let people help you more-like me! Love ya and I can't wait to see you and your little beasties soon.
Lib, I cannot agree with you more about the character clothes! Yuck, yuck, and yuck! My kids have asked for them a few times and that is just one thing I will never, ever succumb to. Never. And the putting away of laundry and dishes.....guilty! Luckily I have Cicily to assign that to. She's very helpful, and needs to learn this stuff anyway, right?
Oh, you are too funny. I loved reading about your quirks...although none of them were a huge surprise. ;) It was fun to read them, anyway. Hmmm, I gotta think we are sisters 'cause I could nearly copy and paste your quirks for mine. They are too funny and remind me of the sister that I adore.
Oh, and on another note...I feel I must defend myself. I too hate character shirts, pants, especially...ewwww...character shoes. But, I have to admit I am a pushover and have, on occasion, bought a character item or two. I know, I know--yuck--but I try to pair them with a clean face, cute short/pants and done hair. I am pushover, what can I say??
Liberty, love your quirks! I will reply in at least the next few days. I've got to think on this. Not that I don't have any (I have a lot) it's just that I try hard not to focus on them. LOL. OH, and I so agree on the character thing. I especially don't like the character shoes!
Liberty, I meant to add that who doesn't LOVE food. YUMMY! LOL.
OH, you have never done or said anything to me to make me have to tell you a lie. :)
Hi Liberty! So fun to read about you and see your family!
Yeah for vacuuming!! Love it! You are so sweet to take time to comment on my blog. It is a fun passtime, and it is even better to get those comments. It makes me feel more connected to those moms I admire like you and Steph.
I too wrestle with the laundry. I can't even bear the thought of putting all that freshly folded laundry away...I already worked sooo hard to fold it, I mean do I seriously have to go and find a place for it all? ugh, an all day long process for me (okay sometimes two day, but who's asking anyway...)
