I should probably be nice first so here is my like list:
First and foremost...
1. I love my family tremendously. I am glad my older boys dont mind hugging and kissing me in public and love to hang around me (not many moms can say that!!). I am glad my teenagers are very open with me (sometimes a little to open) because it makes it easy to discuss those hard topics that no parent likes to talk about.
2. I love James. Every night I look forward to him coming home from his new job and being with me and the family. The man helps me cook, clean, and actually wants to spend time with me (which doesn't happen that often with most couples). We go out on a date night weekly regardless of how much stuff we have to do, he makes that time just for me!! He doesn't mind if I went out on a huge shopping spree which I rarely, practically never do!! He is always complimenting me nonstop, which I will admit it is hard for me to take compliments!! It's just the way I am. :) He puts up with all my crotchetiness, especially after a LONG day with nonstop torture from the kids (like today). I love that man that's all I can say!! :)
3. I LOVE me some granite. No more formica for me. You will NEVER see me have a wood table top for a kitchen table. Its granite all the way for this house of very active boys!!.
4. I love hardwood floors. Carpet just stinks, although I do love frazee carpet.
5. I love canvas pictures with no picture frame. My favorite is the pictures of the tulips I have from IKEA. Although anything canvas will do as long as it is not well peacockish. :)
6. I Love a house with high ceilings and wainscoting, it makes it look so elegant.
7. I love brick homes!! None of this crap siding you find here in the Seattle area.
8. I love sour candy. Yes, Yes my favorite is sour skittles. I have to get my 200 calorie fill pack every week.
9. I love Starbucks. OK before you get all in a tiff, NOT for the coffee. :) I love it for the hot chocolate and the spiced caramel apple cider.
10. I love Kettle Sea Salt and Vinegar chips. I can finish it down in one sitting. Yep that is a whole bag I am talking about lol. If you didn't know, us Wendts have a big voracious appetite. Hence why I am always watching what I eat. :)
11. I love horses. I use to ride then when I was younger and use to ride in shows, English style. :)
12. I love country music, alternative music, and the current bands. I just love listening to music. You might even see me dancing it up in my den which the kids HATE. lol
13. I love well manicured gardens and a clean house. If my house is a mess I am very crotchety. Ask my kids and James. :)
14. I like having friends around and love running with a running buddy. Not liking this running by my self thing I have been doing while up here.
15. I love my church. There are those that have to have testament to things that are true and there are those, Like me, that just know its true without having constant reassurance its true. I guess its a gift I have. But my life would not be complete without the church in it. I love going every week (ok maybe that not totally true, sometimes it hard to get 5 kids ready and sit through sacrament with crazy kids, but for the most part its true).
16. I love being in nursing school although it is extremely time consuming. It's just that it my thing, not James, not the kids but mine. In the same respect I know I will be happy when it is done (december!! )
17. I love a challenge in all things. I love that a good friend and I started the weight loss challenge together. We have changed lives. I think the total thus far for all 4 challenges is well over 1100 lbs lost. Just just week teams have lost over 50 together. :) I am proud of this accomplishment and plan to take this bigger.
18. I love snuggling up in bed watching a good movie or TV series. I am not one to start a TV series in the middle. I have to start all the way from the beginning to get the full effect. It was not fun watching smallville from the beginning to find out that the series ended a few months back!! I was almost depressed when I found out it was the finale. lol It would take much to see me wrapped up in my blankets just vegging. :) I love just snuggling in general, right James? :)
19. I love going to a good movie at the movie theatre. I will say though I am sorta getting sick of it and have been more wanting to stay home and watch a good movie snuggled in bed. 20. I love reading a good book especially ones in series. I can hardly put it down when I start reading. Sadly my reading is now nursing books and soon to be NCLEX studying books as I prepare to take the state license exam in December/Jan timeframe.
21. I love throwing parties. I love a good 4th of July BBQ and getting tons of fireworks. I throw good parties, Right Tami? :)
22. I love getting manicures/pedicures. I love freshly painted toes the most. Man I need to go get me a pedicure soon. :)
23. I LOVE my macbook pro laptop. The kids tripped up the stairs with my old macbook pro last summer and so James bought me a new one in the fall. I love it. Window computer just DO NOT compare to a good mac!!! I should include that I love my iphone too and will soon get James Iphone 4 when the iphone 5 comes out in the fall (zumiez has a great deal on them for everyone).24. Love getting clothes for 1/2 price! Now that James works for Zumiez we get 50% off!! YAY!! BOY HEAVEN.
I can go on and on on what I like. I realize I do like alot of things.
Now here is my "dislike"...
1. I dislike DOGS. Yes I know! I do have my weimaraner Athena. Athena is the best of my dislike category and the kids love her. I dislike dog smells, slobber, tongues, looks, and find it extremely annoying when athena walks around all over the house following me. I hate dogs near tables when we eat, hate them staring at me when I cook, I just hate having a dog in general.. BUT I can't give Athena up because she the best of the hate list. Just a reminder, if you have a dog please don't allow it to jump on me or get on my furniture, you will see me twitching and restless! :)
2. I dislike noise. Ok you say to yourself, "how could Kari hate noise when she has 5 kids". Well I do. When someone screams in the house I cringe and my nerves are shot.

| Close that dang mouth of yours!! |
3. I hate people chewing like cows. Chew chew chew. I hate food coming out of peoples mouth as they chew and talk to. So if you ever are near me you better just keep that mouth closed or you will find me cringing and walking away or moving.
4. I don't like people hovering over me. For example, when I was at the mall a few days ago I was sitting in a mall chair talking to my good friend while AJ sat in my lap, CJ hanging on the arm of the chair leaning into me and TJ hovering over the back of me. My friend could tell I was getting agitated and restlessless. lol
5. I don't like kids butting into adult conversations. There have been many times when I am talking to other adults and my 10 and 12 year old are sitting right there listening to every word I say plus the other adults kids. It just bothers me, GOOOO PLAY Geez!!!
6. I have a sensory issue (as you can tell lol) and get overstimulated easy and don't like to much close contact. I mean yes I dont mind snuggling etc etc but I don't like the hovering stuff. I can get massages but if you rub my arm to long my skins starts to hurt and I start cringing.
 |
| YUM!!! You wanna see for yourself what happens when you drink to oblivion. Well here it is!! |
8. I will admit this, I can't believe I will admit this. I am intolerance of certain other peoples children. Depend on the kids, I get annoyed easy. I don't like other kids hovering around me. Now you are saying well how can you be a pediatric nurse and say that. Well the children in the hospital are sick, that why I said "certain" other peoples children because sick kids are not included in that dislike. I can handle my close friends children too. I am not a sleep over fan either. Who wants to watch other kids when you have 5 of you own lol.
WOW my hate list is very exstensive. I am going to stop now. I feeling the hate just writing this lol. Anyways. There is a little about me. I better stop because I really can go on and on all day long. Anyways cheers.
-will proofread later. I am to tired after that long post to proofread. :)
