HONEST SCRAP

I received this award some time ago from
Elizabeth at Swords For Fighting 

and part of the award is to tell you 10 things about myself 

and pass the award on to 10 other blogs.  

Well I told you 10 things about myself twice before and needed to come up with some original things and I wanted to find 10 blogs that I maybe wouldn't follow but were beautiful blogs that look like a lot of 

Honest Scrap (hard work)

was used to put them together. So with the Book Blog Hop and What Are You Reading Mondays memes I think I have found 10 very worthy blogs. (Not that all of your blogs are not beautiful and I know you have put in a lot of hard work.)

Now the 10 new things about me:

1. I am my parents 3rd child but was raised as a spoiled only child.  My sister is 12 years older than me and my brother is 10 years older than me.  They tried to convince me I was adopted, but my mother's famous line of retort always was "If she was adopted, I would have sent her back years ago."  I was a very naughty child/adolescent/teenager.
2. I was on the gymnastic team in high school, not balance beam or floor exercise, I was a vaulter.
3. I have worn glasses since I was 4 years old, tried contacts for awhile, but want to be able to see when I wake up in the morning and glasses are right there, contacts actually take some effort.
4. My best friend as a child was Suzy and she had an actual merry go round at her house, not the kind with the horses, but the kind at the playgrounds only much bigger.
5. In high school, I worked at the local A&W and was a carhop, no roller skates though, clumsy enough without adding wheels.
6. I gave birth to 4 children, all good sized, 9lbs. 10 oz., 8 lbs, 7 lbs 11 oz., 7 lbs 14 oz. with actual natural child birth, no drugs of any kind, but their father could of had all he wanted.  (You need to be a fan of Bill Cosby's "Himself".  I laugh so hard at that HBO special every time it airs)
7. I am a perfectionist, and will drive myself crazy to get something just right.  My family knows when to steer clear of me when I working on something.
8. I am a very difficult person to live with, always have been but since my accident it is much worse.  I hate being dependent on anybody for anything. It is very hard for me to ask for help.
9. I always want to make people laugh.  I truly believe it is the best medicine.
10. I miss my mom and dad everyday, but I can still hear them in my head, no I don't hear actual voices, but others who have lost your parents will understand.
