I have been tagged by Holli.
The rules are:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag six bloggers by linking.
5. Leave a comment for each blogger.
OK, here goes:
1. I like lists... lots and lots of lists. They make me feel accomplished and in control. In fact, I've even been known to stray from my list to do something, finish that task and come back and put it on my list simply so I can feel the satisfaction of crossing it off the list even if I did just write it down.
2. I forgot... this is not a quirk but it deserves mentioning... I flat out forgot all about Eli's 6 month angelversary. I felt kind of "off" this week but couldn't quite pin point it. I chalked it up to several things. Fear and anticipation of what would or wouldn't happen this month, exhaustion from having a house full of people the week before, sick kids, sick ME but I think my body and my brain remembered even if I didn't.
3. I count... when I am doing anything with dishes, I always find that in the back of my head I'm counting. I have NO idea what that's about. Putting silverware away, setting the table, cleaning up the table, count, count, count... weird.
4. I love blankets... (I'm now at the point where I'm asking Jim what my quirks are) I have to sleep with a blanket, even if it's 100 degrees upstairs - and it gets close in this old house. I can have my feet out but my torso has to be covered. I would rather sweat than sleep outside the covers.
5. I can't commit... to a furniture arrangement. I know this one is all about my need to feel like I'm controlling things but I rearrange furniture all the time. The living room now is pretty immune because of our new furniture but everything else is fair game. Bedrooms, office, pictures on the wall, even the basement and the kitchen. I can, and will, find a way to rearrange them.
6. I love sleep... I can sleep in with the best of them! And I looooove it! This is such a natural love that I can't even begin to explain it. I am very lucky to have a hubby who usually allows me to sleep in on his days off. Excellent!
Now I need to tag 6 other bloggers. I should do it right now but, you guessed it - I'm tired. At the rate I've been blogging, it'll probably be next week before I get to it but we have some fun things planned for this week so I'll be back to tag my six and blog about our adventures next week. They include baseball, preschool open house, and the circus! Woohoo!

I remembered Eli's angelversary. I forgot to tell you that I was thinking about you and of little Eli. Actually, I had some doubts about whether to say anything or not. But I should know better. I know that it matters to you that people remember him. Sometimes I imagine my brother finding my friends babies who are in heaven and teaching them all sorts of things like he liked to do. I wonder if connections from earth can carry over like that? I hope so. Maybe Willie met Eli and just knew that they were connected through their familiy members back on earth. Somedays I just can't wait to get there and see those people who are just so hard to live without. It's hard to live without your baby...and it's hard to live without my brother. Thank you, Jesus for the hope of Heaven.
