Truth Be Known

A blog that I read from time to time was talking about how sometimes a persons' blog doesn't always "tell it how it is" and it challenged you to post a few "truth be known" things that you would otherwise leave out.

Truth Be Know...


1. I have a HUGE problem with anxiety. Alli always jokes with me and says that I need medicinal marijuana.

2. I hate putting laundry away, and will sometimes let a basket full of clean clothes sit in our room for a couple of days. I don't mind the washing, drying or folding part of laundry but I loathe putting them up.


3. I had a glass of wine once every other week while I was pregnant...with the blessing of my doctor!


4. One of the reasons I love going to church on Wednesday nights, other than the fellowship, is that I don't have to cook dinner.


5. I would love to take a trip with my husband, just the two of us, but when push comes to shove I can't leave my sweet babies. But I am great at planning our getaway, even if we never actually get away.


6. Shaun and I don't have a fairytale marriage. It is something that we actively work at every day of our lives. We are still learning how to love each other in a way that glorifies God.


7. I am not necessarily jealous of my friends that have full time jobs, because I LOVE being home with my kiddos. However, I definitely do feel envy from time to time of the material things that a two income family can have. Still, I would never trade these years at home with my kids. My babies will be in elementary school soon enough and then it will be back to work for this mommy.


8. I HAVE to eat chocolate everyday!


9. I worry all the time about Lillian's temper tantrums. I self diagnose her with aspersers every other day of the week.


10. Shaun doesn't like John Whitten to sleep in the bed with us, but when he falls asleep I am known to go and get him out of his crib for some sweet cuddles.


11. I use to smoke, and there are days that I am one two year old melt down away from buying a pack of parliaments and lighting up!


12. On that note, Shaun is a "stress smoker". Once or twice a year he will come home smelling like a cigarette. I give him a hard time about it and won’t allow him to kiss me until he has showered and brushed his teeth, but secretly I love it.


13. I give dogs chocolate.


14. I wish that I had some kind of crafty talent like so many of my stay at home mommy friend.


15. After four years of marriage, I still have not legally changed my name from Greene to Hays.
