Mistakes in Motherhood

Well, I have been tagged by Terri who dared me to come up with 5 things about me that you all don’t know. Well, this is going to be pretty tough because my life is pretty much an open book.

1. When I was a child, I had a vivid imagination… I used to tell people my name was Babette, and I had two imaginary friends, my “baby” and a cat named Mr. Meemer. (my dad, a lawyer, was working in misdemeanors at the time, this is where Mr. Meemer got his name).
2. I am afraid of the dark, and will make a trip upstairs to turn on my bedroom light before I turn off my kitchen light. I usually use the hall light, but it is burnt out.
3. I started combination classes when I was in the 3rd grade, basically I was in a 3rd/4th grade class being taught 4th grade work. When I got to middle school, I was in a gifted program where I could work at my own pace and I used that as an excuse not to work so hard. When we moved to another middle school, they refused to test me and put me in basic classes and I refused to work since I had finished “basic math” in 6th grade and was already at the pre-algebra level. I scored 100% in advanced classes, but failed basic classes because the work did not challenge me. I started college at 16, but skipped class so much, or had poor study skills I only earned 6 credits before I dropped out at 17 and got my GED.
4. I lived on the streets for 3 months before I met Bobby. I stayed at a flop house called “HatePunk” because punks and skinheads lived there. Bobby asked me to move in with him the same day we started dating because he feared for my safety.
5. I love moving, when Bobby and I started dating we lived in 6 different places in the first year because I would get bored and we would move to a different unit in the apartment complex (so as not to break our lease). I have lived in my house for 2 years, but I am ready to sell it and move because I am getting the movers itch again. I only remember living in 3 houses when I was a kid, and I only switched schools once, so I am not sure where this movers itch comes from.

Ok, now comes the fun part, this is where I get to spread this love like a bad disease.

Here you have it ladies and gentlemen, another piece of the Pay Per Post Rock Startup puzzle. RockStartup.com is the reality show website that shows the behind the scene action that we posties don’t get to see. I have to say, it looks a lot harder running a web 2.0 company than I would have imagined. I mean I knew it would not be simple, but I cannot imagine working such long hours and living in and out of hotel rooms like Ted does.

Anyways, here is another puzzle piece, good luck to anyone who can collect all the pieces, put them together and then be the first one to post it on their blog. They could be the lucky winner of $1,000 big ones!

My Infertility seminar was cancelled today because we were supposed to get 4-6 inches of snow. Of course now there is no snow (it blew light snow for 15 minutes but it did not stick), and the next available seminar is the SAME DAY that Christopher has his neuro testing next month… something I have been waiting for since September….

I am not too worried about it, I know how to make babies… I just can’t do it when I want.

I am so frustrated with a situation going on in my personal life. My poor husband, and Terri, are getting the most of my bitching, but if you want to hear all about it, email or IM me. I refuse to talk about it here on my blog, to protect the privacy of the other person involved, but its pretty petty (on the other person’s part).

PS. This has nothing to do with my family, my inlaws, or any of my friend’s, so don’t worry!
