This Mom’s Thankful Thursday – 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Today's Thankful Thursday is all about getting to know one another. That reminds me of all of the online friendships that I am thankful for. Yes, I have 'real-life' friendships, but it is so hard to get together with girlfriends, simply because I am a busy working wife and mom. Lots to do! However, I can sneak in some blogging and online activities when my hubby and children are distracted with their own interests.

That's where online friendships come in. What would I do without your encouragement, support and advice!

10 Things You Didn't Know About Me or Maybe You Do:

One of my online friendships turned into a real-life friendship. We text, talk on the phone, and have even discussed visiting one another. She's a treasure and I am very thankful to have her.
I have a scar on my right knee from a cut I received when I was 11 months old.
I never ever dreamed I would be overweight as an adult. I was a skinny girl up until my senior year of high school. Thanks a lot to all of the fast food restaurants and the vending machines!
I'm actually adopted by one of my parents. I feel special because I was actually chosen!
I have a brother who's spent time in prison. He almost died earlier this year. Despite his circumstances and choices, I love him with all my heart.
I really thought my first child would be a girl. I was wrong. Mr. Matthew came first.
I really didn't want a girl. I worried that I wouldn't get along with a girl, simply because my mom and I clashed a lot. Now, that I'm older, I see things differently with my own mom. My daughter and I do clash, but I know it's mostly me, because I'm a moody girl that's passing it on to her girl. However, it's something God and I are working on together!
I can't wear fake fingernails and do the laundry. Pulling the clothes out of the dryer was difficult with them on. So, give up the nails or doing the laundry? Sadly, I chose to give up the nails, simply because I didn't want anyone running around naked, especially me!
My teeth are crooked. My mom tried to get me braces before I left home, but I was fine with crooked teeth then. I now wish I would've gotten the braces. Oh well!
I have a destructive personality. I have sabotaged relationships in the past with my own jealousy. Another one that God is helping me change!
