I have probably shared more than anyone wants to know about me, but I am a sucker for memes, and I was tagged by Kristen at to share 6 things people don't know about me. The trick is thinking of things I haven't already shared, but here goes:
2)I was a pre-med major in college. I really wanted to go to med school or become a nurse-midwife, but my second year I got math burnout (love science, math... not so much, calculus... not at all!). I took a non-fiction writing course, and the rest is history!
3) Over twenty years ago, I delivered a neighbor's baby (this was the incident that made me want to be a midwife). I was only home with my own baby about 2 weeks when she went into labor. I heard her screaming and ran over (we were in opposite sides of a duplex). Her husband called the paramedics while I delivered the baby! It was an awesome experience!!
1) I am an amateur songwriter. I don't actually write any music, but I write words to common tunes for birthdays in our office or by request for other occasions. It is a fun outlet,but the funny part is that I have never written one for any of my family members (I am not sure why)

It was an awesome experience!!4) I have been insulted because I have six children. I once had a person in a grocery store when she saw me with four small children ask me if I had heard of birth control, and once during a job interview, a female interviewer asked me if I believed in birth control and whether I was planning to have any more children(I had 5 at that time). My Response? I told her that I thought that these days the wrong people believed in birth control. I got the job.
5) I can't stand licorice. I can't even stand the smell of it. I have only recently tried (and liked) fennel.
6) I am a Christmas season addict. I make no apologies. I love everything decorated, lighted, fragrant. I am always the last person I know to take down the Christmas tree because I hate the end of the season so much. My husband considers it a victory if he gets me to take down the tree in time for the Super Bowl!
This meme has been around quite a bit so I won't tag anyone, but if you have not participated before and would like to, consider yourself tagged!
