I don't want to go to bed tonight so since Niki tagged me I thought I would give this a try.

1. This is definitely number one, I have a slight obsessive/compulsive disorder with the number 4 or it's multiples, mainly 16, 24, or 32. I have, ever since I can remember counted stairs and steps in between sidewalk lines. I have to do it in multiples of 4, but if it isn't possible then I need to end with my left foot on the even number. I hope I don't lose you here, but it really isn't as complicated as it sounds. For example, my parents steps are 7 and 7, but if I take two on the landing I have always been able to make it to 16. Our stairs here are 8 and 9 so one step on the landing puts me at 18, which is okay because it is an even number. I don't do this as much as I used to because I run out of time and can't go back and redo steps like I used to, but I do still make sure the radio volume is on a multiple of 4. This can wear on a person, but I am working through it:)

2. This one is not as therapy worthy; all my children have to have hair done for Logan trips. I cannot stand to go without it done and it has become a lot more tricky with four children, one of which pulls everything out. I usually worry about my own last, and usually think a ponytail is sufficient.

3. I think I have hand washed dishes everyday of my entire life since I was 7. I still do not have a dishwasher and never thought that I would still be filling the sink with hot water and Dawn as I approached the ripe old age of 30.

4. I hate being tickled so, so, so bad. Tyler has the strongest hands in the world and when he sits on me and pins my arms over my head and tickles I lose all control of my limbs and vocal chords. Even if there is a child near me, I cannot keep my flailing arms and legs from whacking them. I have suggested that if he has to tickle me, he use 1/2 strength in his fingers so it feels more laughable instead of torture like.

5. I secretly wish we were a totally independent family. I would love to heat with a wood burning stove, install solar panels and a windmill, own a milk cow, make our own butter, and can everything we would grow ourselves. Yet, still go out to dinner once a week.

6. Just a complaint for my last one. During the winter we eat a lot of potatoes, it is kind of our staple food. Well, it is now official, I have 4 children that all hate potatoes and I blame Weston. He has pulled them all to his potato-hating side. It doesn't matter how I fix them, Tyler and I spend a half hour counting to three and forcing our children to take bites, which gets us absolutely nowhere with the twins. This will be a long winter since I have about 150 pounds of them sitting downstairs.
