15 facts about me

This is a first in a series of 30 day posts about me.  Copying the idea from my friend just 'cause I want to.

1) I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, nor do I plan to
2) I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 22
3) I love to read, but I don't do it very often because I tend to get wrapped up in books and then ignore my kids.
4) I get car sick really easily.  It is better now that I usually get to ride in the front of the car, but if I have to sit in the back, or Jack asks me to read something while driving, or I have to turn around to help the kids or the car is too hot or smells weird I am bound to puke.  Unfortunately for Jack he loves to go for leisurly drives.  Not me, just get me to my destination asap!
5) I hate Coke so much.  It reminds me of having the stomach flu when I was little.
6) I bruise really easily.  People are always asking me what happened to me and pointing out nasty bruises, but I never even know where they come from!
7) I dream of returning to school one day.  Not sure what I'll study yet, but probably something in medicine just so I can feel useful when Jack does medical humanitarian trips in the future.
8) I rarely get mosquito bites.  I mean, I see mosquitos biting me but the itchy bump never appears.  I wonder why?
9) I went for 10 years without once eating a hamburger because I hated them so much, but I am starting to sort of like them again.
10) When I was little my biggest fear was swallowing my uvula (the hangy thing in the back of your throat).  I would wake up repeatedly in the night and ask my dad to check to make sure it was still there. 
11) I have taught my own daughter to wake up her father if she needs something in the night, just as my mom taught me to wake my dad .
12) When I read lists or instructions I always skip to the end and then read backwards.
13) The one thing I always crave to spend money on is getting professional pictures taken of my kids.  This is pretty much what I always ask Jack for for Christmas and my birthday.
14) I am constantly singing made up songs to my kids...a talent/habit I picked up from my dad.  If other people hear me they probably think I am nuts.
15)  I get really anxious when I watch movies that are scarry or violent.  I have a hard time sleeping for days after watching one.  My family always tries to tell me, "It isn't even scarry!" about certain movies, but to me it is.
