My friend Tec made me do it.

Eight things about me:

1. I am the youngest of 3 children. We share the same history, but we all view it so very differently. My siblings and I are so very different in nature, disposition, culture and lifestyle. We have a very hard time relating to one another.

2. When I was 9, I got really sick and couldn't hold anything down for over a week. When I was admitted to the hospital, I couldn't stand. My kidneys had shut down and it took them all day to find a vein that was strong enough to hold an IV. I really thought I was going to die. I remember making peace with it. I woke up a couple days later and found myself having to make peace with the fact that I was no longer dieing. It's a very strange experience. It's one that has made me constantly question the meaning and value of experiences and actions. I think it made me grow up way too fast, way too young.

3. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

4. My house is a big mess right now.

5. My daughters eyes absolutely melt my heart.

6. I used to be skinny, but I have always felt fat.

7. I have pretty much everything I've ever wanted in life. Now, I just want to enjoy it all.

8. I miss the sound of waves crashing on the beach.

-So now I have to tag eight more people. The problem is, I have pretty much the same friends as the person who tagged me. I can only come up with 4 people that she didn't tag who have blogs. So... Riotgeek, This Nervous Condition, Gonk and Sheri, you are it.

Here's the rules:

Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
