Both Kennedy and Nicole tagged me to do this "6 things about me tag." I hope that doesn't mean I have to do 12... cause I'm not.
When I asked Jeremy what I should write for this he didn't say anything. I asked him if he didn't think I was special and he said "Oh, no - I think your special!" in a look here comes the short bus kind of way. Haha! So here goes nothing...
1. I love my sleep. I'm not a morning person or a night owl. I'm lucky that Aiden is such a good sleeper & hope all my kids let me have my sleep. Its my way of taking care of myself. Some people get pedicures - I sleep.
2. I CAN'T walk in heels. I tried this weekend only to be reminded that I probably never will be able to! I blame that on my Mom and my Grandma Bleazard. My mom because I was never allowed to wear heels until I was 12 or 13 and then only a wedge. (I don't fault her for the rule - just the outcome). My Grandma Bleazard because I inherited my lousy coordination straight from her. Maybe that is why my mom didn't want me in heels in the first place... she didn't want me falling on my face every Sunday! 
3. I love to read cookbooks (with pictures) - also something I get from Grandma Bleazard. I get such great, easy ideas and then I run out to the store, buy a ton of stuff, put it in the fridge and lose all motivation. I know I can make the stuff. I have all the ingredients. Just no motivation to do it. Its actually quite frustrating, and something I need to work on. At least I enjoy reading the recipes... that is a start. Someday I will be a good wife & mom and make good meals for my family. 
4. I can't stand a messy house. I know this doesn't make me all that unique, but its still true. I like my bed made but it is low on the priority list. I am getting better at spending my precious small amounts of energy on Aiden though. I am learning to only clean the kitchen once a day and not worry so much about toys on the floor. And since I suck at making 'real' dinners, the kitchen shouldn't get that dirty, right??!? 
5. I am very competitive and I'm a poor loser. Jeremy is the same way. We learned early in our marriage that a 'fun game of cards' or even Sorry was not the way to spend our evenings. We both know that it is immature but we can't play a competitive game unless other people are around or else we go to bed mad at each other. Stupid, huh!

6. I am SO thankful for my health and the health of my family. I don't know if this fits the criteria of this TAG but oh well. Aiden has had pneumonia this week and I thought I was getting it too. We are both on antibiotics and are doing well. (This was taken when he fell asleep with a 103 degree temp. So sad!)
But I am grateful for our overall health. We are so blessed that Aiden very rarely gets sick. He was born healthy and didn't even get the sniffles until he was at least 6 months old. Jeremy goes and goes constantly but fights illness better than I could ever dream to at his pace. And as long as I get my sleep, I am great. My heart goes out to a couple of my friends who just had babies. Amanda had twin girls 8 weeks early and Katie's little guy has had a rough go of the first days of his life. They are great examples of faith to me. And their experiences help me to appreciate the normal life we usually lead.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you and the little guy are feeling better. Is there anything we can do for you guys?
I really hope that Aiden is feeling better! Such a cute little boy should never ever be that sick! :o( He seems like he wouldn't let a little thing like pneumonia stop him from having a good time though!
