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.
