random facts...

because all the cool kids are doing it...

1) i'm 5'2". pretty short.
2) up until about a year ago, i considered myself "dark blond". you guys, my hair is definitely brown. not sure what i was thinking.
3) i have a history degree
4) i taught fifth grade for one year
5) my husband and i are trying (for the tenth time) a cash-only budget. going okay so far.
6) besides the etsy shop, i do have a part-time (from home) "real job", working for my parents' software company. i do tech support and customer service-type stuff.
7) i am so slooooow. when it comes to projects, crafting, cleaning, really anything. i move at a snail's pace. it doesn't help that i'm a perfectionist [at the crafty stuff, not the homemaking, unfortunately]
8) when i was younger, i'm pretty sure i had a mild form of tourette's syndrome, or something similar. it sort of just faded out in my adult-hood.
9) the only surgery or hospital stay i've ever had was my c-section.
10) my husband and i started officially "dating" on october 10th 1999, a few weeks into his freshman year [my sophomore year] of high school. neither of us could drive for another year. we broke up/"went on a break" about 7 or 8 times before finally getting engaged in 2004 [at 19] and married in 2005 [at 20]. Lord help us if our kids try to do the same.

what about you? any random or silly or fun facts you want to divulge in the comments? i'd love to read them!

    Great list! I just found your blog (can't remember how). I'm impressed that you are able to have not one but TWO "work at home" jobs! I work at home for 10 hours a week and have a 4.5 month old and am having a hard time figuring it out. Any words of wisdom? :-)

    P.S. Coming from a "dark blonde", I'd call you brown! But I've always wanted brown hair. :-)

    Josh and I have been doing the cash only budget thing for a couple years. It definitely takes getting used too but now our finances are worlds different. We read the book By Dave Ramsey called Financial Peace University. Have your read it?

when you feel like a failure.

well. this post is hard for me to write. because i feel a little bit like a failure, but mostly an imposter . remember when i told you about Babywise , and i even posted a video all about how to get your child to sleep through the night and acted like i was this expert? yeah... well it turns out i'm not. you know how i have a ten month old baby? and, you know how she wakes up once or twice every night? some of you are thinking  well, duh. and i told you so . but here's what i want you to know:  it's really hard for me to admit defeat.  i want to share my heart with you; the deep, dark, ugly, and triumphant parts, and i just want you to hear me . i hope you'll honor that. i almost turned off the comments except that i want to leave them open for anyone that might be struggling like i was. so, do you remember when i wrote about  how i haven’t slept in almost a year  and how i feel like there’s no end in sight. you guys, sleep-deprivation is something that i don
