Getting Real

Becca challenged everyone a while back to get real on their blog. Click here to read what she had to say about getting real. I challenge all of my fellow bloggers to do the same.

1) I am very insecure. I feel like I have absolutely no style and nothing looks good on me.

2) There are times when I feel like I'm not a good wife. The house isn't always clean, the laundry isn't always put away, I don't cook every night, and I'm exhausted by the time we get one on one time together.

3) I worry about Kross not talking yet. He will be two in March and he doesn't say much. Everyone tells me that a lot of kids don't start talking until after two, but I still worry about it. Is he hearing okay? Will he be anti-social? You get the drift.

4) I worry about Wes coming home every time he goes to work. He's a state trooper and it's a crazy world. The thought of some psycho killing him is in the back of my mind all of the time. I hate that feeling.

5) I don't make an effort to see my dad enough. When I was little, he would drive over three hours to pick me up every other weekend and take me back to his house. When our weekend was over, he would make the same trip again. Now that I'm old enough to make the trip myself, I don't. I think I've been to his house two or three times in four years! That's pitiful.

6) I have gray hair. Yes, I'm 27 and I have gray hair. I know you're not supposed to pull it out, but I do it anyways. I think it's more noticeable since I have dark hair, so I pluck out all the silver strands I spot.

7) I don't have very many close friends. Since I have graduated, I have lost touch with a lot of people that I considered my best friends.

8) I'm a tight-wad. I don't like to spend money. I don't think I've always been this way, but I've noticed it more recently. If I go shopping, I almost always only buy sale items. Same goes for eating out... I will generally order the cheapest meal on the menu.

9) I feel like I don't spend enough time with Kross. I work full time so I don't get a lot of time with him during the week. I get off at five and he goes to bed by eight. I try to make up for it on the weekends, but sometimes the guilt overwhelms me.

10) I have a hard time forgiving people if they've hurt me. I am the world's worst grudge holder. I don't know why I'm this way, but I am. Not a good characteristic to have...
