I was "tagged" by my sister to write down 6 of my quirks. This is actually my new revised version. I realized that my first one was a little more revealing than I am comfortable with. :)
1- I hate going to sleep at night. I get so little kid free time in my day, when it is night time, and I am finally doing something I want to do, I have a tough time being responsible enough to get my butt in bed and go to sleep. On the other hand, I love taking naps.
2- I chew on my lip, or make funny faces when I am concentrating. My hubby thinks it is cute, so we have lots of videos of me making these weird faces while I am concentrating on art projects or playing the piano. The ladies in Relief Society have commented on the faces I pull when I am playing the piano.
3- I love to dance. I have a tough time holding still when I am around a song with a good beat. Whenever I can, I have the radio going, and I love to shake it when I am cleaning (especially doing the dishes.) With homeschooling, it seems like whenever I have a free second to clean, the kids are usually working on something, and they need it quiet so my radio time has been cut way down. :( I hate to dance in front of anyone other than my kids though.
4- I can't clean with my hair down. It drives me crazy unless I tie it back. I always get up in the morning, and take tons of time getting ready and doing my hair, and by the time hubby gets home, it is always pulled back into a ponytail or bun.
5- When I get sick of being called mom, I make my kids call me Telulah. It used to really bug them, but now all I have to say is, "I'm getting sick of being mom," and without skipping a beat they will all start calling me Telulah. Sometimes I let them know that Telulah isn't working for me, and so we all work together to come up with a new name for me.
6- One of my favorite stress relieving techniques is to scream at the top of my lungs. I struggle with gettting too stressed out, so when I can feel that I am starting to loose it a bit, I will scream as loud and as long as I can until I am out of breath. (I only do this in front of my kids in the safety of my own home. I don't think my hubby has even seen me do this.) My kids will usually look up from whatever they are doing, but it doesn't even startle them. Sometimes they will laugh at me, or join in and we all feel a whole lot better when we are done.
I tag my hubby and kids to answer this quirks string. (I guess hubby will have to start a blog to answer this. Oh this will be fun! :)

I do the whole funny face/bitey lip thing too. I think that and the "Holding your tongue just right" is a family thing.
Can I just copy and paste your blog into mine. I was reading over it and I do all of those things. I guess you can't tell we have the same genes.
