There is another reason I believe the proper use of corporal punishment is in the best interest of children."

Does that grab your attention??? If so, check out The New Strong-Willed Child by Dr. James Dobson!

Five Random/Weird Facts About Me:

1. I'm TERRIFIED of tornadoes! Just last night I woke up because it was hailing outside. To me, hail goes along with tornadoes. So, I had to get up and turn on the tv to see if there was any bad weather coming our way. Luckily there was not. I have to say that after last weeks devasting tornadoes in Arkansas, I am even more terrified. It took me a while to reassure myself that it was okay to go back to sleep. Kris laughs at me all the time because at the first sign of bad weather, I want to pull a mattress into the hall.

2. I sucked my thumb until I was like in the fourth grade or something. I'm not sure exactly how long, but it was bad!!! Because of this, my two front teeth were extremely horrible looking buck teeth. I eventually got braces (thanks mom and dad) that completely corrected the problem. I guess the weird fact about me is that I still have the before and after molds of my mouth. I can't bear to throw them away. Weird, I know.

3. I love watching American Idol. I think it is because I secretly wish that I could sing well enough to be on the show. I love to sing and love to watch others sing.

4. I've only had two jobs in my life. My first job was working at the local movie theater back home. This was the best job ever! I got to eat all the popcorn and drink all the coke I wanted, watch movies for free, and work with people mostly my age at the time (college) and goof off. It was great! My other job was working for alltel right out of college. I worked there for 5 years. It was also a great job.

5. I've ALWAYS known I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom ever since I was little. I am living my dream--thanks to my wonderful husband.

On this one, I tag Amanda, Jill, Julie, Cortney, and JoEllyn.

Have fun!
