Truths about Me

All of these questionnaire's keep coming around about firsts, likes, dislikes, etc. I've done a lot of them, but I'll just write a blip about who I am and what I'm like:

I am a very honest person, sometimes to my detriment. I like people to be honest with me. I don't like liars, thieves, or back biting. I stand up for what I believe in. I am not easily swayed by what other people think. I don't like confrontation, but will meet it head on if necessary. Some days I have more fight in me than others. Most days I just try to make people see that if we see differently, its okay. Arguing won't change my mind.

I like to have fun, but am very cautious...don't like to be in trouble. I love being married and being a mom, but find it difficult some days to meet all the demands both jobs require. I love to be with family and friends, but family always comes first to me.

I am a very logical person and analyze everything. Sometimes its good, but it mostly drives me and those around me crazy. I love to help people. I will do as much as I can for anyone who asks and sometimes for those who don't. I am kind of pushy sometimes, but don't intentionally mean to be.

A lot of people have told me that I'm mellow and laid-back...I'm glad some people view me that way; I feel like I am as high-strung as they come. I stress about everything! I always have to have a plan...it is difficult being married to someone who never has a plan. I guess that is why we work well (most of the time) together. I keep Curtis on point and he helps me relax a little.

I do not handle high-stress situations well. I am usually the one who crumbles. I constantly strive to be a better person, but fall short (in my eyes) more often than not. I don't really care what people think of me. It has taken me years to get to that place. I do, however, have major self-esteem issues, but am always working to overcome those.

I love to be optimistic. I think there is a bright side to everything and always try to find it before things get too out of hand. I also think that no matter how bad a situation, there is always something good that will come of it. Some sort of lesson that will enrich us. It is hard to see it sometimes, but I think there is always one there.

I love to laugh and have fun and love to make other people laugh...I'm not always so serious.

So, that is pretty much me in a nut shell. I'm not sure what kind of picture that paints, but there you go.
