Some Important Things About Me

Five Things with Mama Kat

Five things you don’t know about me:

1. Sometimes I drive all the way across town to the gas station that pumps gas for you just so I don’t have to get out of the car. 
2. I sometimes wish my kids were grown and out of the house and because of that wish, I often pray to be a better mother.
3. I keep laundry all over the basement floor as I sort and get to each pile.  And yes, most days there are piles!
4. I only floss the week of my dentist appointment.
5. I have favorite statues that I’ve named in church.  One is my grandmother, Nana and one is my old friend, Douglas.  I find peace in the fact that I can give them a minute or two in my head and heart, each week during mass. … and some weeks, I swear they blink at me.

Five things I am knowledgeable about:

1. Martini’s – just ask the World’s Greatest Husband, I’ve perfected a few of them for him over the years.
2. What my kids will and will not eat.  I can call that one from a mile away
3. Paper crafting. I’ve watched way too many hours of you tube tutorials on how to fold, glue and create.  I’ll also add that I am very knowledgeable about the store layout and inventory of Michaels craft stores.  An important skill on holiday’s such as Black Friday or one day sales.
4. The World’s Greatest Husband would chime in with “kissing” He is so sweet always telling me I am the best kisser, he often sends thanks my seventh grade boyfriend.
5. The structure and components needed in a good bathing suit as well as the frame of mind, time and money needed to purchase one.

Five things I know nothing about:

1. Computer networking, wireless systems, updating, downloading and syncing.    That is why I call the World’s Greatest Husband my “computer boy.”
2. Many of the ingredients in Bon Appetit magazine.
3. Vacuuming the pool – I can’t even begin to grasp how that gizmo, hose and pumpy thing work to suck out the dirt, did I tell you I live with my “pool boy?”
4. Apparently I know very little about 6^th grade math and our stressful homework sessions continue to prove that one!
5. Illegal Drugs.  I’ve never understood the desire to do them or the power of them. 

Five things I believe

1. When love is true, it brings out the best in you.
2. We are all stronger than we think we are.
3. A clean closet can make you think a bit clearer.
4. The magic of a good night’s sleep.
5. The best cleaning gets done when one is angry.
